Answer:
D. 4/(2/5)
Step-by-step explanation:
For example, if the wood was 8ft long, and was cut into 4 foot long segments, you would divide 8 by 4 to get 2, which is the logical answer. Use the same thinking here. In other words, divide the large piece into smaller pieces.
For this one, divide 4 (large) by 2/5 (small).
If simplification is needed you can make 10 pieces.
15/3 = 35/x
Cross multiply.
15x=105
105/15=x
x=7
Abe have to take 7 weeks of school this quarter.
A = L * H
A = 65
L = 2H - 3
65 = H(2H - 3)
65 = 2H^2 - 3H
-2H^2 + 3H + 65 = 0
(-Hh + 13)(H + 5) = 0
-2H + 13 = 0
-2H = -13
H = -13/-2
H = 6.5 <== height is 6.5 inches
H + 5 = 0
H = -5....this wont work because it is negative
L = 2H - 3
L = 2(6.5) - 3
L = 13 - 3
L = 10 <== length is 10 inches
An absolute value is positive value of any value. So the abs value of -28 is 28. The abs value of 67 is 67. Makes sense?
If it were |27-3| for example, treat the inside of a abs as parenthesis, so you must complete PEMDAS inside of it to reduce the equation to |24|, unless you wanted it to become |27| - |3|.
For functions, this becomes slightly different and more difficult, especially when adding a variable such as x. Look below for a sample equation.
|2x-3|=1
This equation will actually have (and most others) 2 solutions for x. To find these, you’ll need to multiply the inside of the abs by -1 for one equation, and leave it as it is for the other!
2x-3=1 -(2x-3)=1
Now you have to solve BOTH equations to get your correct x-value answers.
For the first listed equation:
2x=4
x=2
For the second listed equation:
-2x+3=1
-2x=-2
x=-1
So you get the x-values -1 and 2 which both make the parent function true!
Is there measurements for AB AND CD
