Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First, |x| = x when x >= 0 and |-x| = x when x < 0.

So,there are two ways to solve this equation -2|x + 5| = 8.

In the 1st case, let's assume (x + 5) >= 0

=> |x + 5| = x + 5

=> -2(x + 5) = 8

=> x + 5 = 8 / -2 = -4

=> x = -4 - 5 = -9

In the 2nd case, let's assume (x + 5) < 0

=> |x + 5| = -(x + 5) = -x - 5

=> -2 (-x -5) = 8

=> (-x -5) = -4

=> -x = 1

=> x = -1

These are the 2 solutions by solving the math in two different ways.

I hope this helps.

Your company is introducing a fruit drink packaged in an aluminum box with a square

solong [7]

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x in be the base side length and y in be the height of the box. Since the base is a square, we have

$S=x^2\Rightarrow x=\sqrt{S}$

The volume of the box is

$V=S\cdot y\\ \\36=Sy\Rightarrow y=\dfrac{36}{S}$

The surface area of the box is

$SA=2x^2+4xy\\ \\SA(S)=2S+4\cdot \sqrt{S}\cdot \dfrac{36}{S}=2S+\dfrac{144}{\sqrt{S}}$

The graph of the function SA(S) is shown in attached diagram.

Find the derivative of this function:

$SA'(S)=(2S+144S^{-\frac{1}{2}})'=2-\dfrac{1}{2}\cdot 144\cdot S^{-\frac{1}{2}-1}=2-\dfrac{72}{S\sqrt{S}}$

Equate this derivative to 0:

$2-\dfrac{72}{S\sqrt{S}}=0\\ \\2S\sqrt{S}=72\\ \\S\sqrt{S}=36\\ \\S^{\frac{3}{2}}=6^2\\ \\S=6^{\frac{4}{3}}$

So, the dimensions that produce a minimum surface area for this aluminum box are:

$x=\sqrt{6^{\frac{4}{3}}}=6^{\frac{2}{3}} \ in\\ \\y=\dfrac{6^2}{6^{\frac{4}{3}}}=6^{\frac{2}{3}}\ in.$

The slope of the line that passes through the points (6,9) and (11,2) is

jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

slope = - $\frac{7}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m = $\frac{y_{2-y_{1} } }{x_{2}-x_{1} }$

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (6, 9) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (11, 2)

m = $\frac{2-9}{11-6}$ = $\frac{-7}{5}$ = - $\frac{7}{5}$

Perform the indicated operation. Be sure the answer is reduced.

ANTONII [103]

$\frac{m}{n} . \frac{n}{p} \div \frac{p}{q} \\ = \frac{m}{p} \div \frac{p}{q} \\ = \frac{m}{p} . \frac{q}{p} \\ = \frac{mq}{ {p}^{2} }$

Hope it helps...

Someone please help me out I rlly need help

The equation that could be used to solve for x is (3x-1) = 140 and the value of x is 47°.

According to the question,

We have the following information:

We have two lines that are intersecting each other at a point. The angles made on this point are given.

Now, we know that these two angles are vertically opposite angles. And we also know that vertically opposite angles are equal.

So, we will have the following equation:

3x-1 = 140

Now, we can easily find the value of x from this equation:

Adding 1 on both sides of the equation:

3x = 140+1

3x = 141

Dividing by 3 on both sides:

x = 141/3

x = 47°

Hence, the equation that could be used to solve for x is (3x-1) = 140 and the value of x is 47°.
