There is one solution that the intersecting lines have cause two solution doesn't have the same slope.
Always foucus on the teacher ask help when needed
y < - 8 or y > 4
inequalities of the form | x | > a always have solutions of the form
x < - a or x > a
we have to solve
y + 2 < - 6 or y + 2 > 6
y + 2 < - 6 ( subtract 2 from both sides )
y < - 8
or
y + 2 > 6 ( subtract 2 from both sides )
y > 4
these can be combined using interval notation
y ∈ (- ∞, - 8 ) ∪ (4, ∞ )
As a check
substitute chosen values of x from each interval
y = - 10 : | - 10 + 2 | = | - 8 | = 8 > 6 this is true
y = 12 : | 12 + 2 | = | 14 | = 14 > 6 which is also true
Answer:
16.2 m
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we can draw a picture. The cable goes from the top of the pole to the ground (with the pole on the right in my drawing), and the point on the ground is 10 m away from the base of the pole. This forms a right triangle, with the right angle being between the 10 m distance and the pole itself. We can then apply the Pythagorean Theorem, so
a²+b²=c², with c being the side opposite the right angle (the cable), getting us
10²+(length of pole)² = 19²
19²-10²=(length of pole)²
= 261
square root both sides to isolate the length of the pole
length of pole ≈ 16.2 m
