A pharmacy claims that the average medication costs $32 but it could differ as much as $8. Write and solve an absolute value ine

quality to determine the range of medication costs at this pharmacy.
A) |x − 32| ≥ 8; The medication costs range from $24 to $40
B)|x − 32| ≥ 8; The medications cost less than $24 or greater than $40.
C) |x − 32| ≤ 8; The medication costs range from $24 to $40
D) |x − 32| ≤8; The medications cost less than $24 or greater than $40.

Answer:

Therefore, Option C is correct that is |x-32|\leq8|{\text{the medication costs range from $24to $40}.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have given medication cost $32

Since, we have given as much as 8 so the inequality will maximum goes upto 8.

|x-32|\leq8

Now, we will solve the inequality for x we will get

We will first open the modulus function by its definition we will get

which is |x| is +x  and -x

(x-32)\leq8

x=32+8=40

x=40

And -(x-32)\leq8

-x+32=8

x=24

Therefore, Option C is correct

So,

We can tell that the most expensive medication costs $40 and the cheapest costs $24.  Thus, only options A and C are left.

To see which inequality is true, test a value, such as $30, in the equation in option C.

|30 - 32| ≤ 8
|-2| ≤ 8
2 ≤ 8

Option C is correct.

In a cave, a stalactite gets 44 millimeters longer each year. this year it is 72 centimeters long. how many years until it is 1
iragen [17]

Answer:

6.36 years (the .36 repeats), so rounded is 6.4.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, I'm going to convert all measurements to meters.

Since 1000 mm = 1 m, divide 44 by 1000.

44/1000 = 0.044 m

Since 100 cm = 1 m, divide 72 by 100.

72/100 = 0.72 m

Next, I'm going to setup an equation using y = mx + b.

b is the beginning amount which is 0.72.

m in the equation represents the rate which is 0.044.

y represents the total which is 1.

Plugin the numbers and solve for x.

1 = 0.044x + 0.72

1 - 0.72 = 0.044x + 0.72 - 0.72

0.28 = 0.044x

0.28/0.044 = 0.044x/0.044

6.36 = x

Help.? geometry basics homework 2: segment addition postulate
Neporo4naja [7]

The value of x is 3 given that ST = 8x + 11 and TU = 12x-1

The point that bisects a line divides the line into two equal parts

If T is the midpoint of SU, the following are true:

  • ST = TU
  • ST + TU = SU

Given the following

ST = 8x + 11

TU = 12x-1

Since ST = TU

8x+11 = 12x-1

8x - 12x = -1 - 11

-4x = -12

x = 12/4

x = 3

Hence the value of x is 3 given that ST = 8x + 11 and TU = 12x-1

The radius of a circle can be found by dividing the circumference of the circle by 6.28. What is the radius of a circle that has
steposvetlana [31]
The radius of a circle is found by doing this :
circumference ÷ 6.28 = radius

The circumference here is 17.27 feet :
circumference ÷ 6.28 = radius
so
17.27 ÷ 6.28 = 2.75


The radius of the circle is 2.75 feet.
