Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x) = 50 - 2x
x = 0 when the vitamins are bought and none have been taken 9 that is day 0).
So the intercept on the y axis 50 - 2(0) = 50 represents this situation ( day = 0 and number of vitamins = 50).
When all the vitamins have been taken f(x) = 0 so we have
50 - 2(25) = 0 This is the intercept on the x axis ( x = 25 days).
Answer:
x - 3 ≥ 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Solving each of the inequalities
x + 3 ≥ 1 ( subtract 3 from both sides )
x ≥ - 2
3x ≥ 1 ( divide each inequality by 3 )
x ≥ 
x - 3 ≥ 1 ( add 3 to both sides )
x ≥ 4 ← required solution
Since -5 and -5 are the same number, they are on the same y axis so the only distance we need to calculate is between the X coordinates.
When looking for distance, you can not have a negative. what |-3|+|9| is looking for is the distance from 0 on the X axis. since distance can't be negative, (you go 3 miles away from your house in one direction, vs 3 miles in the opposite. both ways is positive, even with opposite directions. same with axis, it doesnt matter which way, only the number.) you need the absolute value of -3 to get the distance from the 0 on the x axis.
short version: distance is positive, and its adding the distances from the x axis to get distance from each other
