what does |x| mean? like what do the | | 'bars' symbolize or represent?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: Absolute Value

Step-by-step explanation:

The | | is a symbol for absolute value. This signifies that the number inside would be positive. Now, this doesn't mean it will always be a number inside absolute value bars. It can also be expressions.

Examples:

|1|: Even though the number inside is a positive 1, we know that it cannot be negative under any circumstances. The only exception would be if there was a negative sign on the outside of the absolute value.

|-1|: We see that there is a -1 in the absolute value. This means that it is actually a 1, not -1. The absolute value is what makes everything inside positive.

|1-5|: To solve this, we know that 1-5=-4. Without the absolute value, the answer -4 would be correct. In this case, we have absolute value, so the answer is actually 4.

|x+2|: x+2 can easily be negative. This would happen is x was a negative number that is smaller than -2. x+2 can also be positive, but the absolute value guarantees that the ending result must be positive.

Fill in the ?s to satisfy the arithmetic progression rule

Answers

Answer:

  see below

Step-by-step explanation:

The "arithmetic progression rule" requires the numbers on either side of an edge make an arithmetic progression with the numbers at either end.

If we label the variables 'a', 'b', 'c' clockwise from top, then the rule means we have ...

  2a -b +2c = 1

  2a +2b -c = 7

  -a +2b +2c = -2

Solution

Adding twice the second equation to each of the other two gives ...

  2(2a +2b -c) +(2a -b +2c) = 2(7) +(1)

  6a +3b = 15 . . . . [eq4]

and

  2(2a +2b -c) +(-a +2b +2c) = 2(7) +(-2)

  3a +6b = 12 . . . . [eq5]

Subtracting [eq5] from twice [eq4] we have ...

  2(6a +3b) -(3a +6b) = 2(15) -(12)

  9a = 18

  a = 2

From [eq4], we can find b:

  b = (15 -6a)/3 = 5 -2a = 5 -2(2) = 1

From [eq2] we can find c:

  c = 2(a+b) -7 = 2(2+1) -7 = -1

These values are shown on the diagram below.

Answers

Answer:

x + y + z = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Give equations are,

2x + 3y - z = 5 --------(1)

x - 3y + 2z = -6 --------(2)

3x + y - 4z = -8 --------(3)

By adding equations (1) and (2),

(2x + 3y - z) + (x - 3y + 2z) = 5 - 6

3x + z = -1 -------(4)

By multiplying equation (3) by 3, then by adding to equation (2)

(9x + 3y - 12z) + (x - 3y + 2z) = -24 - 6

10x - 10z = -30

x - z = -3 --------- (5)

By adding equation (4) and (5),

(3x + z) + (x - z) = -1 - 3

4x = -4

x = -1

From equation (5),

-1 - z = -3

z = 2

From equation (1),

2(-1) + 3y - 2 = 5

-2 + 3y - 2 = 5

3y = 5 + 4

y = 3

Therefore, x + y + z = -1 + 3 + 2

x + y + z = 4

A group of friends went to lunch and spent a total of $76, which included the food bill and a tip of $16. They decided to split the bill and tip evenly among themselves

Answers

Complete question:

A group of 8 friends went to lunch and spent a total of $76, which included the food bill and a tip of $16. They decided to split the bill and tip evenly among themselves. Which equations and solutions describe the situation? Check all that apply. The equation 1/8(x+16)=76/8 represents the situation, where x is the food bill. The equation 1/8 (x+16)=76 represents the situation, where x is the food bill. The solution x=60 represents the total food bill. The solution x=60 represents each friend’s share of the food bill and tip. The equation 8(x+16)=76 represents the situation, where x is the food bill.

Answer:

The equation 1/8(x+16)=76/8 represents the situation, where x is the food bill

The solution x=60 represents the total food bill

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Total amount spent = $76

Amount paid as tip = $16

Number of friends = 8

Total Cost of lunch consists of:

Actual Cost of food + amount of tip

Let actual cost of food = x

Total cost of lunch is thus :

x + $16 = $76

If the friends are to each the bill equally:

Then:

Divide both sides by 8:

(1/8)* (x + 16) = 76/8

Therefore,

(x + 16) / 8 = 76/8

x + 16 = 76 / 8

(x + 16)/8 = 9.5

x + 16 = 9.5 * 8

x + 16 = 76

x = 76 - 16

x = 60

Multiply through by xy to clear the fractions

x² + y² = - xy ← substitute into second factor of expansion

x³ - y³ = (x - y)(- xy + xy) = (x - y) × 0 = 0 → c

Answer:

The answer is C. 0

Step-by-step explanation:

since

[tex] \frac{x}{y} + \frac{y}{x } = - 1[/tex]

we multiply both sides by xy to cancel their denominators and multiply -1 by xy

so we have

[tex]xy( \frac{x}{y}) + xy( \frac{x}{y} ) = xy \times - 1[/tex]

we get our answer as

[tex] {x}^{2} + {y}^{2} = - xy[/tex]

we were given the difference of cubes that is

[tex] {x}^{3} - {y}^{3} [/tex]

which is =

[tex](x - y)( {x}^{2} + xy + {y}^{2} )[/tex]

so since,

we substitute,

Answers

Answer: B) y=6/11.

To find the horizontal asymptote(s) you must find the limit as x approaches infinity and the limit as x approaches -infinity.

Using L’Hôpital’s rule:
lim x-> infinity (f(x))=6/11.
lim x-> -infinity (f(x))=6/11.

Answer:

Option (C) : y = 6 / 11

Step-by-step explanation:

To find Horizontal Asymptote of the function, you need to see degree of of numerator and denominator.

Since, the degrees of the numerator and denominator are the same,

Horizontal Asymptote = leading coefficient of the numerator divided byleading coefficient of the denominator

Therefore,

Horizontal Asymptote = 6 / 11

Step-by-step explanation:

The x- intercept is the value of x on the x- axis where the line crosses.

Here the line crosses the x- axis at - 7.5 , thus the coordinates of x- intercept

(- 7.5, 0 )

The y- intercept is the value of y on the y- axis where the line crosses.

he blood platelet counts of a group of women have a​ bell-shaped distribution with a mean of 247.3 and a standard deviation of 60.7. ​(All units are 1000 ​cells/μ​L.) Using the empirical​ rule, find each approximate percentage below. a. What is the approximate percentage of women with platelet counts within 3 standard deviations of the​ mean, or between 65.2 and 429.4

Answers

Answer:

The approximate percentage of women with platelet counts within 3 standard deviations of the​ mean is 99.7%.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the blood platelet counts of a group of women have a​ bell-shaped distribution with a mean of 247.3 and a standard deviation of 60.7.

Let X = the blood platelet counts of a group of women

The z-score probability distribution for the normal distribution is given by;

                                Z  =  [tex]\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}[/tex]  ~ N(0,1)

where, [tex]\mu[/tex] = population mean = 247.3

           [tex]\sigma[/tex] = standard deviation = 60.7

Now, according to the empirical rule;

68% of the data values lie within one standard deviation of the mean.95% of the data values lie within two standard deviations of the mean.99.7% of the data values lie within three standard deviations of the mean.

Since it is stated that we have to calculate the approximate percentage of women with platelet counts within 3 standard deviations of the​ mean, or between 65.2 and 429.4, i.e;

         z-score for 65.2 =  [tex]\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

                                     =  [tex]\frac{65.2-247.3}{60.7}[/tex]  = -3

         z-score for 429.4 =  [tex]\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

                                       =  [tex]\frac{429.4-247.3}{60.7}[/tex]  = 3

So, it means that the approximate percentage of women with platelet counts within 3 standard deviations of the​ mean is 99.7%.

each person in the office works for 35 hours a week
what is the smallest number of people needed to complete the work?​

Answers

Answer:

Minimum People required = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Total hours required to complete the work every week = 150 hrs.

Number of hours worked per week by one person = 32 hr

∴ Number of people required to complete the work per week = Total number of hrs to complete the work ÷ No of hrs work per person

∴ Number of people = 150 ÷ 32

∴ Number of people = 4.6875

This is the minimum number of people. But no of people cannot be a fraction.

Thus, rounding the number to next integer.

∴ Smallest number of people needed to complete the work = 5
