Using absolute value, it is found that:

  • The situation is described by the following equation: |l - 47| = 1.5
  • The markings should be between 45.5mm and 48.5mm.

---------------------------

The definition of the <em>absolute value function</em> is as follows:

|x| = x, x \geq 0

|x| = -x, x < 0

----------------------------

The length should be set to 47mm with an allowance of 1.5mm, which means that <u>the absolute value of the difference between the length and 47 should be 1.5</u>, thus:

|l - 47| = 1.5

----------------------------

The solutions are:

l - 47 = -1.5 \rightarrow l = 45.5

l - 47 = 1.5 \rightarrow l = 48.5

The markings should be between 45.5mm and 48.5mm.

WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 + (x+3)^2 = 117

x^2 + x^2+6x+9 =117

2x^2 + 6x - 108 = 0

(2x-12)(x+9)=0

x=-9,6

x cannot be negative therefore, x = 6
