Step-by-step explanation:

The absolute value function is a well known piecewise function (a function defined by multiple subfunctions) that is described mathematically as

                                 f(x) \ = \ |x| \ = \ \left\{\left\begin{array}{ccc}x, \ \text{if} \ x \ \geq \ 0 \\ \\ -x, \ \text{if} \ x \ < \ 0\end{array}\right\}.

This definition of the absolute function can be explained geometrically to be similar to the straight line   \textbf{\textit{y}} \ = \ \textbf{\textit{x}}  , however, when the value of x is negative, the range of the function remains positive. In other words, the segment of the line  \textbf{\textit{y}} \ = \ \textbf{\textit{x}}  where \textbf{\textit{x}} \ < \ 0 (shown as the orange dotted line), the segment of the line is reflected across the <em>x</em>-axis.

First, we simplify the expression.

                                             3\left|x \ + \ 1 \right| \ < \ 9 \\ \\ \\\-\hspace{0.2cm} \left|x \ + \ 1 \right| \ < \ 3.

We, now, can simply visualise the straight line,  y \ = \ x \ + \ 1 , as a line having its y-intercept at the point  (0, \ 1) and its <em>x</em>-intercept at the point (-1, \ 0). Then, imagine that the segment of the line where x \ < \ 0 to be reflected along the <em>x</em>-axis, and you get the graph of the absolute function y \ = \ \left|x \ + \ 1 \right|.

Consider the inequality

                                                    \left|x \ + \ 1 \right| \ < \ 3,

this statement can actually be conceptualise as the question

            ``\text{For what \textbf{values of \textit{x}} will the absolute function \textbf{be less than 3}}".

Algebraically, we can solve this inequality by breaking the function into two different subfunctions (according to the definition above).

  • Case 1 (when x \ \geq \ 0)

                                                x \ + \ 1 \ < \ 3 \\ \\ \\ \-\hspace{0.9cm} x \ < \ 3 \ - \ 1 \\ \\ \\ \-\hspace{0.9cm} x \ < \ 2

  • Case 2 (when x \ < \ 0)

                                            -(x \ + \ 1) \ < \ 3 \\ \\ \\ \-\hspace{0.15cm} -x \ - \ 1 \ < \ 3 \\ \\ \\ \-\hspace{1cm} -x \ < \ 3 \ + \ 1 \\ \\ \\ \-\hspace{1cm} -x \ < \ 4 \\ \\ \\ \-\hspace{1.5cm} x \ > \ -4

           *remember to flip the inequality sign when multiplying or dividing by

            negative numbers on both sides of the statement.

Therefore, the values of <em>x</em> that satisfy this inequality lie within the interval

                                                     -4 \ < \ x \ < \ 2.

Similarly, on the real number line, the interval is shown below.

The use of open circles (as in the graph) indicates that the interval highlighted on the number line does not include its boundary value (-4 and 2) since the inequality is expressed as "less than", but not "less than or equal to". Contrastingly, close circles (circles that are coloured) show the inclusivity of the boundary values of the inequality.

The amount of money Chaz earned for walking dogs is given in the table. Can the relationship be described by a constant rate? Ex
mojhsa [17]

Answer:

Yes, the relationship can be described by a constant rate of $18.75 per dog

Step-by-step explanation:

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

Let

x ----> the number of dogs

y ---> the amount of money earned

we have the points

(6,112,50), (8,150), (11,206.25)

step 1

Find the slope with the first and second point

(6,112,50), (8,150)

m=(150-112.50)/(8-6)=18.75

step 2

Find the slope with the first and third point

(6,112,50), (11,206.25)

m=(206.25-112.50)/(11-6)=18.75

Compare the slopes

The slopes are the same

That means, that the three points lies on the same line

therefore

Yes, the relationship can be described by a constant rate of $18.75 per dog

What would the answer be?​
NikAS [45]

Answer:

11.35%  

Step-by-step explanation:

Add all of the numbers together to get the total amount of people who visited.

Add all the numbers in the teen section to find how many teens visited.

If you put teens over whole it will give you the fraction 86/758

If you divide 86 by 758 you will get 0.11345646438 .

Move the decimal two places to the right and round to get the percent 11.35.

What is the solution of 6x= 15 <br>​
balandron [24]

Answer:

2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

When a variable is next to a number (coefficient) it means you need to multiply. In this equation 6x are next to eachother.

Because we don't know what x is, we have to work backwards.

The opposite of multiplying is dividing, so here we can do...

15/6  and that equals 2.5

To check you replace x with 2.5 like so,

6(2.5)= 15 and it is true!

Hope this helps and have a great day!
