Hi friend,

The objective is to divide $20 in 2:3 ratio.

One part be 2x, another part is 3x

Sum of them = 20

2x + 3x = 20

5x = 20

x=4

So therefore one part must be 2x = 2 x 4 = 8

Another part = 3x = 3 x 4 = 12

Hence it is divided in 2:3 ratio.

Hope my answer is helpful to u. :)

1. Let a be a positive real number. In Part (1) of Theorem 3.25, we proved that for each real number x, jxj < a if and only i

krek1111 [17]

Answer:

(a)

if $x \geq 0$ then $x \geq a$ and if x<0 then $-x > a$

(b)

That is straightforward from what you showed on theorem 3.25

(c)

Following the same ideas from (a) x>a or -x > a.

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember how we define the absolute value of a number.

(a)

In general

$|x| = x \,\,\,\text{if} \,\,\,\, x \geq 0 \\|x| = -x \,\,\,\text{if} \,\,\,\, x < 0$

Therefore if $|x| \geq a$ you have two cases, if $x \geq 0$ then $x \geq a$ and if x<0 then $-x > a$

(b)

That is straightforward from what you showed on theorem 3.25

(c)

Following the same ideas from (a) x>a or -x > a.
