Answer:

\large\boxed{|x+7|\geq2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Look at the picture.

|x-a|\geq b\\\\a=\dfrac{-9+(-5)}{2}=\dfrac{-14}{2}=-7\\\\b=-9-(-7)=-9+7=-2\\b=-5-(-7)=-5+7=2\\\\|x-(-7)|\geq2\\\\|x+7|\geq2\\\\Check:\\\\|x+7|\geq2\iff x+7\geq2\ \vee\ x+7\leq-2\qquad\text{subtract 7 from both sides}\\\\x+7-7\geq2-7\ \vee\ x+7-7\leq-2-7\\\\x\geq-5\ \vee\ x\leq-9\qquad CORRECT\ :)

x \le -9 \ \text{ or } x \ge -5

x \le -7 - 2 \ \text{ or } x \ge -7 + 2

x+7 \le -7 - 2+7 \ \text{ or } x+7 \ge -7 + 2+7

x+7 \le -2 \ \text{ or } x+7 \ge 2

|x+7| \ge 2

<h3>So the final answer is |x+7| \ge 2</h3>

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

side notes:

  • The -7 in step 2 is the midpoint of -9 and -5. You add up -9 and -5 to get -14, then divide by 2 to get -7.
  • x+7 is the same as x-(-7)
  • For the last step I used the rule that if |x| > k then x < -k or x > k for some positive number k

If ADEF is reflected over the x-axis, what would be the coordinates of point F?
Brut [27]

Answer:

Please check the explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the coordinates of the point F be (x, y).

When a point F(x, y) is reflected over the x-axis, the x-coordinate of the point F remains the same, and the y-coordinate of the point reverses the sign.

Thus, the rule of reflection over the x-axis:

F(x, y)   →    F'(x, -y)

Here,

F'(x, -y) would be coordinates of point F after the reflection over the x-axis.

Let say, the point F(1, 2).

The coordinate of the point F after the reflection over the x-axis would be:

F(1, 2)   →    F'(1, -2)

Thus, F'(1, -2) would be the coordinates of point F after the reflection over the x-axis.

70 POINTS SIMPLE QUESTION ...im just dumb PLEASE HELP...
gogolik [260]

Answer:

A dilation of 2 about the origin.

Step-by-step explanation:

You can see in the original figure the points are half the points of the transformed figure.

For example the coordinates of H are (0.5,0)

The coordinates of H' are (1,0)

Since 0.5 * 2 = 1

There is a dilation of 2 about the origin.

<span>n = 5 The formula for the confidence interval (CI) is CI = m ± z*d/sqrt(n) where CI = confidence interval m = mean z = z value in standard normal table for desired confidence n = number of samples Since we want a 95% confidence interval, we need to divide that in half to get 95/2 = 47.5 Looking up 0.475 in a standard normal table gives us a z value of 1.96 Since we want the margin of error to be ± 0.0001, we want the expression ± z*d/sqrt(n) to also be ± 0.0001. And to simplify things, we can omit the ± and use the formula 0.0001 = z*d/sqrt(n) Substitute the value z that we looked up, and get 0.0001 = 1.96*d/sqrt(n) Substitute the standard deviation that we were given and 0.0001 = 1.96*0.001/sqrt(n) 0.0001 = 0.00196/sqrt(n) Solve for n 0.0001*sqrt(n) = 0.00196 sqrt(n) = 19.6 n = 4.427188724 Since you can't have a fractional value for n, then n should be at least 5 for a 95% confidence interval that the measured mean is within 0.0001 grams of the correct mass.</span>
