Answer:
-1
Step-by-step explanation:
|x-4|=x-4 when x-4 is positive or zero.
|x-4|=-(x-4) when x-4 is negative or zero.
x-4 is positive or zero means:
x-4>=0
Add 4 on both sides gives:
x>=4
x-4 is negative or zero means:
x-4<=0
Add 4 on both sides gives:
x<=4
Now we are approaching values of 4 from the left which means these values are less than 4 which makes x-4 negative.
So we are using:
|x-4|=-(x-4) when x-4 is negative or zero.
As x approaches 4 from left we have:
|x-4|/(x-4)=-(x-4)/(x-4)=-1.
Answer:
The first step to solve the equation below is to first distribute the 2 to (x+7)
Step-by-step explanation:
2 (x+7) = -4x + 14
2x + 14 = -4x + 14
Top left is the right answer hope this helps <3
<span>A) First function, y varies directly with x.
1) function: y = (3/4)x
2) graph: it is a straight line that passes through the origin and has slope 3/4. The slope means that the rate of change of the function is 3 units per every 4 units the x-value incresase or, what is the same 0.75 units per incresase unit of x - value.
3) real world example
A recipe of a cake instructs to use 3 cups of sugar for every 4 cups of flour. So, how much flour you need if you have 12 cups of sugar?
y = (3/4)x , so if x = 3, y = (3/4)*12 = 3*12/4 = 9.
So, given that the variation is direct you multiply the number of cups of sugar times the constant rate, 3/4, to get the number of cups of flour in relation with the given amount of sugar.
B) The second function: y varies inversely with x.
Inverse variation => y*x = constant or y = constant / x.
Tnat means that if x increase y will decrease in the same factor that x increases.
1) function: y = 12 / x
2) graph: the form of this graph is called hyperbola, it is a decreasing line from left to right. It has two asymptotes, the y-axis (x =0) and the x-axis (y = 0). That means that x and y can never be zero.
As the x-value approaches 0, the y value approaches positive or negative infinity; as the y-values approaches 0 the x-values approaches to positive or negative infinity.
If you take the positive values, the graph is a decreasing curve in the first quadrant (x and y are positive).
If you take the negative values, the graphs is a decreasing curve in the third quadrant (x and y are negative)
3) real world example.
The relatioship between velocity and time in a uniform motion.
If the distance run by an object is constant, as the velocity increases the time decreases in the same factor.
Suppse a distant of 100 km between cities A and B.
How long will it take to travel from A to B at 50 km/ h and 25 km/h ?:
100 km = velocity * time
at 50 km/h: 100 km = 50 km/h * t => t = [100 km ] / [50 km/h] = 2 hours
at 25 km/h: 100 kg = 25 km/h * t => t = [ 100 km ] / [25 km/h] = 4 hours.
C) Third case, the relationship between
x and y should is neither inverse variation nor direct variation.
Of course, there are infinite type of functions that are neither inverse variation nor direct variation: linear (that do not passe through the origin), quadratic, exponential, logarithmical, trigonometric sine, ...
1) example of function: y = 30 + 2x
2) graph: it is a straigh line with y-intercept 30 and slope 2.
3) real world example:
The cost of producing chairs consists of 30 dollars of rent for the facility plus 2 dollar to produce each chair, so the total cost y is 30 + 2x.
