Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The absolute value (or modulus) | x | of a real number x is the non-negative value of x without regard to its sign. For example, the absolute value of 5 is 5, and the absolute value of −5 is also 5. The absolute value of a number may be thought of as its distance from zero along real number line.

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

The absolute value of a number is its POSITIVE distance from 0. We notate absolute value as |x|.

For example, if you wanted to determine the absolute value of -5, you would write it as |-5| which is 5.

-5 is 5 away from 0, so this confirms the answer is right.

The function C(x)=−20x+1681 represents the cost to produce x items. What is the least number of items that can be produced so th
Reptile [31]

Answer:

<em>The least number of items to produce is 41</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Average Cost</u>

Given C(x) as the cost function to produce x items. The average cost is:

\displaystyle \bar C(X)=\frac{C(x)}{x}

The cost function is:

C(x) = -20x+1681

And the average cost function is:

\displaystyle \bar C(X)=\frac{-20x+1681}{x}

We are required to find the least number of items that can be produced so the average cost is less or equal to $21.

We set the inequality:

\displaystyle \frac{-20x+1681}{x}\le 21

Multiplying by x:

-20x+1681 \le 21x

Note we multiplied by x and did not flip the inequality sign because its value cannot be negative.

Adding 20x:

1681 \le 21x+20x

1681 \le 41x

Swapping sides and changing the sign:

41x \ge 1681

Dividing by 41:

x\ge 41

The least number of items to produce is 41

Of a squirrel's hidden nuts, for every 5 that get found, there are 3 that do not get found. A squirrel hid 40 nuts all together.
koban [17]

Answer:

15 nuts do not get found.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Of a squirrel's hidden nuts, for every 5 that get found, there are 3 that do not get found.

Total number of nuts squirrel had hidden = 40

Proportion of nuts not found to total = 3/(3+5) = 3/8

Hence out of 40, nuts not found =3/8(40) = 15 nuts.

15 nuts would not be found and 25 nuts would be found if squirrel had hidden in total 40 nuts.

This is because the proportion of found:unfound = 5:3

Hence 25:!5 =5:3 satisfies this

15 nuts are not found.
