Write an absolute value inequality to represent each situation.

Mathematics

Minchanka [31]3 years ago

Answer:

║ x - 231 ║ ≤ 459

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have 228 ft below sea level, this is x' = -228 ft. Also,  we have 690 ft above sea level, this is x" = 690 ft.

Since x is our elevation in feet, x ranges from -228 ≤ x ≤ 690.

To write an absolute value equation for x, we first take the average of the two values for the ranges to obtain the ideal value of x.

So, ideal value = [690 + (-228)]/2 = 462/2 = 231.

We also find the tolerance by taking the difference of both values and dividing by 2. So tolerance = [690 - (-228)]/2 =  [690 + 228)]/2 = 918/2 = 459.

Subtracting 231 from each value of the inequality we have

-228 - 231 ≤ x - 231 ≤ 690 - 231

-459 ≤ x - 231 ≤ 459

Since we have in magnitude the values on the left and right side of the inequality,

So ║ x - 231 ║ ≤ 459

What cross section results when you cut a cylinder perpendicular to its base?
wariber [46]

The cross section that results, is a triangle.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cross section is a shape that forms when a slice or a cut  is made through a solid.

A solid can have multiple cross sections depending on where you slice the solid.

Cross section perpendicular to the base of a solid will result in triangles.Cross sections parallel to the base of the solid will result in hexagons and so on.

Cross section help in representing three dimension objects in a two dimension way.

When we slice a three-dimensional object, we expose new faces that are two dimensional. The two-dimensional face is called _____
zlopas [31]

Answer:

Cross section

Step-by-step explanation:

Cross section refers to the new two dimensional face exposed when we slice through a three dimensional objects.

It can also be the surface or shape exposed by making a straight cut through something, especially at right angles to an axis.

Cross section is the plane surface(two-dimensional objects) formed by cutting across a solid shape (three-dimensional shape) especially perpendicular to its longest axis.

How can you use properties of multiplication to determine what the factors are
aleksandrvk [35]
Factors can be multiplied together to get the original number.

For example here are the factors of 66.

1 and 66. 2 and 33. 3 and 22. 6 and 11.

1 multiplied by 66 results in the original number 66.

2 multiplied by 33 results in the original number 66.

3 multiplied by 22 results in the original number 66.

<span>6 multiplied by 11 results in the original number 66.</span>
