∠LMN and ∠NMO are a linear pair of angles. If ∠LMN = 4x + 3 and ∠NMO = 10x – 5, then find the value of x. (1 point)

Linear angles are two angles that are part of a straight angle (180*), so both must add up to 180. If 4x+3+10x-5+180, then 14x-2=180, then 14x=182, and x=13

Answer: x = 13

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: ∠LMN and ∠NMO are a linear pair of angles.

We know that linear pair of angles are supplementary.

Then ∠LMN + ∠NMO=180°

If ∠LMN = $4x+3$ and ∠NMO = $10x-5$ ,

$\Rightarrow4x+3+10x-5=180$

$\Rightarrow14x-2=180\\\Rightarrow14x=180+2\\\Rightarrow14x=182\\\Rightarrow\ x=\frac{182}{14}\\\Rightarrow\ x=13$

Hence, the value of x=13 .

Over which interval is the graph of the parent absolute value function f(x) = |xl decreasing?

Romashka [77]

Answer:

(-∞,0)

Step-by-step explanation:

Graph y=|x|

Note that the graph is shaped like a V. The left half of the graph is decreasing from -∞ up until 0 when it hits the origin and starts to increase. Put this into interval notation: (-∞,0).

Use complete sentences to describe why √-1 ≠ -√1

tekilochka [14]

Well let's say that to compare these two numbers, we have to start with the definition first.

Definition

$\displaystyle \large{ {y}^{2} = x} \\ \displaystyle \large{ y = \pm \sqrt{x} }$

Looks like we can use any x-values right? Nope.

The value of x only applies to any positive real numbers for one reason.

As we know, any numbers time itself will result in positive. No matter the negative or positive.

Definition II

$\displaystyle \large{ {a}^{2} = a \times a = |b| }$

Where b is the result from a×a. Let's see an example.

Examples

$\displaystyle \large{ {2}^{2} = 2 \times 2 = 4} \\ \displaystyle \large{ {( - 2)}^{2} = ( - 2) \times ( - 2) = | - 4| = 4}$

So basically, their counterpart or opposite still gives same value.

Then you may have a question, where does √-1 come from?

It comes from this equation:

$\displaystyle \large{ {y}^{2} = - 1}$

When we solve the quadratic equation in this like form, we square both sides to get rid of the square.

$\displaystyle \large{ \sqrt{ {y}^{2} } = \sqrt{ - 1} }$

Then where does plus-minus come from? It comes from one of Absolute Value propety.

Absolute Value Property I

$\displaystyle \large{ \sqrt{ {x}^{2} } = |x| }$

Solving absolute value always gives the plus-minus. Therefore...

$\displaystyle \large{ y = \pm \sqrt{ - 1} }$

Then we have the square root of -1 in negative and positive. But something is not right.

As I said, any numbers time itself of numbers squared will only result in positive. So how does the equation of y^2 = -1 make sense? Simple, it doesn't.

Because why would any numbers squared result in negative? Therefore, √-1 does not exist in a real number system.

Then we have another number which is -√1. This one is simple.

It is one of the solution from the equation y^2 = 1.

$\displaystyle \large{ {y}^{2} = 1} \\ \displaystyle \large{ \sqrt{ {y}^{2} } = \sqrt{1} } \\ \displaystyle \large{ y = \pm \sqrt{1} }$

We ignore the +√1 but focus on -√1 instead. Of course, we know that numbers squared itself will result in positive. Since 1 is positive then we can say that these solutions exist in real number.

Conclusion

So what is the different? The different between two numbers is that √-1 does not exist in a real number system since any squared numbers only result in positive while -√1 is one of the solution from y^2 = 1 and exists in a real number system.
