|2x-8| + 3 = 5 two solutions
Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

The two solutions are 5 and 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the absolute has two solutions because IxI = a means x = a and x = -a

Let us solve the question using this fact

∵ I2x - 8I + 3 = 5

→ Subtract 3 from both sides

∴ I2x - 8I + 3 - 5 = 5 - 3

∴ I2x - 8I = 2

By using the fact above

→ 1st solution

∵ 2x - 8 = 2

→ Add 8 to both sides

∴ 2x - 8 + 8 = 2 + 8

∴ 2x = 10

→ Divide both sides by 2 to find x

∴ x = 5

→ 2nd solution

∵ 2x - 8 = -2

→ Add 8 to both sides

∴ 2x - 8 + 8 = -2 + 8

∴ 2x = 6

→ Divide both sides by 2 to find x

∴ x = 3

∴ The two solutions are 5 and 3

Write an equation for each linear function described. Show your work. The graph of the function passes through the point (2,1),
svp [43]

Step-by-step explanation:

As

  • The graph of the function passes through the point (2,1), and
  • y increases by 4 when x increases by 1.

so

x             y

2             1

3             5

4             9

5             13

6             17

and so on

From the table:

\mathrm{Slope\:between\:two\:points}:\quad \mathrm{Slope}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

\left(x_1,\:y_1\right)=\left(2,\:1\right),\:\left(x_2,\:y_2\right)=\left(3,\:5\right)

m=\frac{5-1}{3-2}

m=4

As the slope-intercept form of the line is

y=mx+b

putting m=4 and any point, let say (2, 1) to find y-intercept 'b'.

1=\left(4\right)2+b

8+b=1

8+b-8=1-8

b=-7

So putting b=-7 and m=4  in the slope-intercept form of the line

y=\left(4\right)x+\left(-7\right)

y=4x-7

Therefore, the equation for the linear function will be:

y=4x-7

Answer:

Range: [-5, 0]

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Algebra I</u>

  • Range is the set of y-values that are outputted by function f(x)

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the graph, the line's y-values span from -5 to 0. Since both are closed dot, they are inclusive in the range:

[-5, 0] or -5 ≤ y ≤ 0
