20. Your friend says the absolute value equation |2x + 9 + 7 = 3 has two solutions
because the constant on the right side of the equation is positive. Is your friend
correct? Explain.

Answers

Answer 1

This is an absolute value problem. In mathematics, absolute value is simply defined as the distance of a number from zero on the number line, irrespective of the direction on either side of zero.

In the absolute value given which is; |2x + 9| = -4, we can see that there is an absolute value when the right hand side is negative and not when it is only positive.

Thus, the friend is not correct.

We are given the equation;

|2x + 9| + 7 = 3

Now when dealing with absolute values, it means that the solution is either positive or negative.

For example;

|x| = 5 means that x = +5 or -5

Thus in this question, let us first of all simplify the equation to get;

|2x + 9| = 3 - 7

|2x + 9| = -4

From |2x + 9| = -4, we can see that there is an absolute value when the right hand side is negative and not when it is only positive.

Thus, the friend is not correct.

What is the inverse of the function f(x) = 2x – 10?

Answers

Answer:

The inverse f-1(x) = ( x + 10)/2.

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 2x - 10

Find x in terms of f(x):

2x = f(x) + 10

x = (f(x) + 10))/ 2

Replace x by the inverse f-1(x) and f(x) by x:

f-1(x) = (x + 10)/2.

Find the midpoint of (4,5) & (2,2)

Answers

Answer:

&

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

[tex]\boxed {\boxed {\sf (3, \frac{7}{2}) \ or \ (3, 3.5)}}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The midpoint is the middle point of a line segment that bisects (splits into 2 equal parts) the line segment. When we calculate the midpoint, we basically find the average of the x-coordinate, then the average of the y-coordinates. The formula is:

[tex](\frac{x_1+x_2}{2} , \frac{y_1+y_2}{2})[/tex]

In this formula, (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) are the endpoints of the segment.

We are given the points (4,5) and (2,2). Match the value and the corresponding variable.

x₁= 4 y₁= 5 x₂= 2 y₂=2

Substitute these values into the formula.

[tex](\frac{4+2}{2} , \frac{5+2}{2})[/tex]

Solve the numerators.

X-coordinate: 4+2= 6 Y-coordinate: 5+2=7

[tex](\frac{6}{2}, \frac{7}{2})[/tex]

Divide.

[tex](3, \frac{7}{2}) \ or \ (3, 3.5)[/tex]

The midpoint of the line segment is (3, 7/2) or (3, 3.5).

Find the equivalent equation that results from adding 5 to both sides first and then multiplying
both sides by 2. Show each step. You do not have to solve the equation at the end.

Answers

Answer:

5d = 30

Step-by-step explanation:

1. first you need to add 5 to both sides

   d-4+5 = 2+5

2. then you need to combine like terms

   d+1 = 7

3. after that you have to multiply both sides by 5

   5(d+1) = 7(5)

4. simplify

   5d + 5 = 35

         -5     -5

   5d = 30

In 2015, the city of Miami had a population of 441,000 people and an area of 36 square miles. What was the population density of Miami, in people per square mile, in 2015? 10,750 12,250 14,250 16,750​

Answers

Answer:

12,250

by dividing the 441000 by 36, I got the answer.

The population density of Miami, in people per square mile, in 2015 was 12,250

The given parameters are:

Population = 441,000 peopleArea = 36 square miles

The population density of a place is the ratio of the population to the unit square area.

So, we have:

[tex]Density=\frac{Population}{Area}[/tex]

Substitute known values

[tex]Density=\frac{441000}{36}[/tex]

[tex]Density=12250[/tex]

Hence, the population density of Miami, in people per square mile, in 2015 was 12,250

21. Describe a real-life situation that can be modeled by an absolute-value equation
with the solutions x = 5 and x = 10.
Will give Brainly

Answers

The absolute value of a number returns the positive value of the given number. A real life situation that describes the scenario is:

"the point which a boy stands if the boy is standing 2.5 meters away from the 7.5 meters point."

Given that:

[tex]x = 5\ or\ x = 10[/tex]

An example of real life situation is as follows:

Calculate the point which a boy stands if the boy is standing 2.5 meters away from the 7.5 meters point.

Represent the point at which the boy stays with x. So, the situation is represented as:

[tex]|x - 7.5| = 2.5[/tex]

Remove absolute brackets

[tex]x - 7.5 = 2.5\ or\ x - 7.5 = -2.5[/tex]

Solve for x

[tex]x = 7.5+2.5\ or\ x = 7.5-2.5[/tex]

[tex]x = 10\ or\ x = 5[/tex]

Hence, the value of x is 5 or 10

How can $500 be divided between four people so that each person gets $20 more than the person before.

Answers

Answer:

$95, $115, $135, $155

Step-by-step explanation:

If the first person gets x dollars:

the next person gets 20 more, so x + 20 dollars

the next person gets x + 40 dollars

and the last person gets x + 60 dollars

We add all these allocations together, and we get $500

x + (x + 20) + (x + 40) + (x + 60) = 500

Combine like terms

4x + 120 = 500

Subtract 120 on both sides

4x = 380

Divide by 4 on both sides

x = 95

So the first person gets $95.

The second person must get $115

The third must get $135

And the fourth must get $155

Checking our work:

95 + 115 + 135 + 155 = 500
