Answer: D

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer is D because absolute value is the distance a number is from 0, which in this case is 16. Absolute value cannot be negative as a distance cannot be negative.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

absolute value is how far it is from 0, so any negative number is just the same number but positive. think of it like distance, something can be 10 inches to the right, or to the left. absolute value doesn't care which direction it goes, noon y absolute would call the left -10

Please help mee pleaseee

nalin [4]

Answer:

The exact answer in terms of radicals is $x = 5*\sqrt[3]{25}$

The approximate answer is $x \approx 14.62009$ (accurate to 5 decimal places)

===============================================

Work Shown:

Let $y = \sqrt[5]{x^3}$

So the equation reduces to -7 = 8-3y

Let's solve for y

-7 = 8-3y

8-3y = -7

-3y = -7-8 ... subtract 8 from both sides

-3y = -15

y = -15/(-3) ... divide both sides by -3

y = 5

-----------

Since $y = \sqrt[5]{x^3}$ and y = 5, this means we can equate the two expressions and solve for x

$y = 5$

$\sqrt[5]{x^3} = 5$

$x^3 = 5^5$ Raise both sides to the 5th power

$x^3 = 3125$

$x = \sqrt[3]{3125}$ Apply cube root to both sides

$x = \sqrt[3]{125*25}$

$x = \sqrt[3]{125}*\sqrt[3]{25}$

$x = \sqrt[3]{5^3}*\sqrt[3]{25}$

$x = 5*\sqrt[3]{25}$

$x \approx 14.62009$

What is 7 devided by 245 and show work

agasfer [191]

1. Set up the long division.

245/7

2. Calculate 700 ÷ 245, which is 2 with a remainder of 210.

0.02245/7.4.902.10

3. Bring down 0, so that 2100 is large enough to be divided by 245.

0.02245|/.4.902.100

4. Calculate 2100 ÷ 245, which is 8 with a remainder of 140.

0.028245|/.4.902.1001.960140

5. Bring down 0, so that 1400 is large enough to be divided by 245.

0.028245/7.4.902.1001.9601400
6. Calculate 1400 ÷ 245, which is 5 with a remainder of 175.

0.0285245|7.4.902.1001.96014001225175

7. Therefore, 7 divided by 245 approximately equals 0.0285
7÷245≈0.0285

8. Simplify
0.0285 <------------- Answer :)
