Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

The answer would be A, in which x can be any value between 3 and 5, exclusive, or not including.

This is because in this situation, if you put any number greater than or equal to 5, or any number less than or equal to 3 it would be greater than 2 due to the absolute thing (noted as | | )

So, any number thats between 3 and 5 will work, as it will be less than 2.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

You have two inequalities:

2x-8<2 = 2x<10 = x<5

-2x+8<2= -2x<-6 = x>3

Combine the two to get 3<x<5

Hope this helps!

MakcuM [25]

Answer:

The number of bananas that Emily bought was 6 and the number of peaches that Emily bought was 8

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete question is

Emily and her children went into a grocery store and she bought $20.80 worth of bananas and peaches. Each banana costs $0.80 and each peach costs $2. She bought a total of 14 peaches and bananas altogether. Determine the number of peaches and the number of bananas that Emily bought

Let

x ----> the number of bananas that Emily bought

y ----> the number of peaches that Emily bought

we know that

She bought a total of 14 bananas and peaches altogether

$x+y=14$ -----> equation A

She bought $20.80 worth of bananas and peaches

$0.80x+2y=20.80$ -----> equation B

Solve the system by graphing

Remember that the solution is the intersection point both graphs

using a graphing tool

The solution is the point (6,8)

see the attached figure

therefore

The number of bananas that Emily bought was 6 and the number of peaches that Emily bought was 8

Which is the equation of an ellipse with directrices at x = ±4 and foci at (2, 0) and (−2, 0)?

NemiM [27]

Answer:

x squared over 4 plus y squared over 8 equals 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The general equation of ellipse is given as;

(x²/a²) + (y²/b²) = 1

The coordinates of a foci are: (±c, 0) where;

c² = b² - a²

However, we know that equation of directrix is; x = ±a/e

Now, Directrix is given ±4

Thus, a/e = 4

a = 4e

We also know that c = ae from ellipse foci coordinates.

Thus, ae = 2

since ae = 2, then (4e)e = 2

4e² = 2

e² = 2/4

e = 1/2

Thus;

a = 4 × 1/2

a = 2

Since c² = b² - a²;

2² = b² - 2²

4 = b² - 4

b² = 8

From (x²/a²) + (y²/b²) = 1, we can put our values to get;

x²/4 + y²/8 = 1
