∣x−18∣=5 absolute value

Mathematics
1 answer:
Levart [38]3 years ago
6 0

Answer

x = 13 or x = 23

Step-by-step explanation:

|x-18| = 5 means there are two possibilities.

x-18 can equal 5 or equal -5 because absolute value sign makes everything inside it positive.

so you can write two equations and solve

first is x-18 = 5

x-18 + 18 = 5 + 18

x = 23

the second is x - 18 = -5

x - 18 + 18 = -5 + 18

x = 13

The two solutions are 13 and 23.

The table shows certain values of a cubic function
Nadusha1986 [10]

Considering the given table, we have that:

  • The function has a relative maximum when x is near 3.
  • As x approaches positive infinity, the value of the function approaches negative infinity.

<h3>When a function has a relative maximum?</h3>

A function has a relative maximum when it changes from increasing to decreasing.

Looking at the given table, it happens when x is near 3.

Also, looking at the table, for x > 3 the function is decreasing, hence as x approaches positive infinity, the value of the function approaches negative infinity.
