PLZZZ HELP DUE IN 30 MINUTESSS!!!!!

Norma-Jean [14]

Let's try plugging in some negative numbers. Let's do x=-1. 5+-1=4. So we know that if we put in a negative number for x, then n will be positive. But what if we do a number greater than -5, because 5+-5=0. So let's try x=-6. So 5+(-6)=-1. Hmm. So here it is. We know that any number under -5 will be positive and any number above -5 will be negative.

What is greater 17 quarts or 4 gallons?

stepan [7]

17 quarts is greater. 4 gallons is equal to 16 quarts, right?
So 17 quarts would be greater than 4 gallons or 4.25 gallons
17 QUARTS IS GREATER.

Which step is incorrect and what is the correct answer?

Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

Step 4, x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 4 was wrong, instead of 6x = 6, it should be 6x = 18. They shoudl've added 6 to both sides instead of subtracting 6 as ur trying to cancel out the 6 on the left side of the equation. So:

6x = 18

x = 3

The ratio of a basketball player's completed free throws to attempted free throws is 4 to 7. if she completed 12 free throws, fi

Artemon [7]

Ratio of the free throws completed to attempted free throws is given to be 4:7. This ratio should be equal to the ratio of the next case. Let x be the number of free throws attempted. The proportion takes a form of,
(4 completed / 7 attempted) = (12 completed / x attempted)
Solving for x gives x = 21. Thus, the answer is letter c. which is the second among the choices.

Please help me with the worksheet

aivan3 [116]

Answer:

9) a = ¾, <u>vertex</u>: (-4, 2), <u>Equation</u>: y = ¾|x + 4| + 2

10) a = ¼, <u>vertex</u>: (0, -3), <u>Equation</u>: y = ¼|x - 0| - 3

11) a = -4, <u>vertex</u>: (3, 1), <u>Equation</u>: y = -4|x - 3| + 1

12) a = 1, <u>vertex</u>: (-2, -2), <u>Equation</u>: y = |x + 2| - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

I could <u><em>only</em></u> work on questions 9, 10, 11, 12 in accordance with Brainly's rules. Nevertheless, the techniques demonstrated in this post applies to all of the given problems in your worksheet.

<h2><u>Definitions:</u></h2>

The given set of graphs are examples of absolute value functions. The <u>general form</u> of absolute value functions is: y = a|x – h| + k, where:

|a| = determines the vertical stretch or compression factor (wideness or narrowness of the graph).

(h, k) = vertex of the function

x = h represents the axis of symmetry.

<h2><u>Solutions:</u></h2><h3>Question 9) ⇒ Vertex: (-4, 2)</h3>

<u>Solve for a:</u>

In order to solve for the value of <em>a</em>, choose another point on the graph, (0, 5) and substitute into the general form (equation):

y = a|x – h| + k

5 = a| 0 - (-4)| + 2

5 = a| 0 + 4 | + 2

5 = a|4| + 2

5 = 4a + 2

Subtract 2 from both sides:

5 - 2 = 4a + 2 - 2

3 = 4a

Divide both sides by 4 to solve for <em>a</em>:

$\LARGE\mathsf{\frac{3}{4}\:=\:\frac{4a}{4}}$

a = ¾

Therefore, given the value of a = ¾, and the vertex, (-4, 2), then the equation of the absolute value function is:

<u>Equation</u>: y = ¾|x + 4| + 2

<h3>Question 10) ⇒ Vertex: (0, -3)</h3>

<u>Solve for a:</u>

In order to solve for the value of <em>a</em>, choose another point on the graph, (4, -2) and substitute into the general form (equation):

y = a|x – h| + k

-2 = a|4 - 0| -3

-2 = a|4| - 3

-2 = 4a - 3

Add 3 to both sides:

-2 + 3 = 4a - 3 + 3

1 = 4a

Divide both sides by 4 to solve for <em>a</em>:

$\LARGE\mathsf{\frac{1}{4}\:=\:\frac{4a}{4}}$

a = ¼

Therefore, given the value of a = ¼, and the vertex, (0, -3), then the equation of the absolute value function is:

<u>Equation</u>: y = ¼|x - 0| - 3

<h3>Question 11) ⇒ Vertex: (3, 1)</h3>

<u>Solve for a:</u>

In order to solve for the value of <em>a</em>, choose another point on the graph, (4, -3) and substitute into the general form (equation):

y = a|x – h| + k

-3 = a|4 - 3| + 1

-3 = a|1| + 1

-3 = a + 1

Subtract 1 from both sides to isolate <em>a</em>:

-3 - 1 = a + 1 - 1

a = -4

Therefore, given the value of a = -4, and the vertex, (3, 1), then the equation of the absolute value function is:

<u>Equation</u>: y = -4|x - 3| + 1

<h3>Question 12) ⇒ Vertex: (-2, -2)</h3>

<u>Solve for a:</u>

In order to solve for the value of <em>a</em>, choose another point on the graph, (-4, 0) and substitute into the general form (equation):

y = a|x – h| + k

0 = a|-4 - (-2)| - 2

0 = a|-4 + 2| - 2

0 = a|-2| - 2

0 = 2a - 2

Add 2 to both sides:

0 + 2 = 2a - 2 + 2

2 = 2a

Divide both sides by 2 to solve for <em>a</em>:

$\LARGE\mathsf{\frac{2}{2}\:=\:\frac{2a}{2}}$

a = 1

Therefore, given the value of a = -1, and the vertex, (-2, -2), then the equation of the absolute value function is:

<u>Equation</u>: y = |x + 2| - 2
