Answer:

{-3/2, 3/2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

2(|x|)=3

Step 1: Divide both sides by 2.

2(|x|)/2 = 3/2

|x|= 3/2

Step 2: Solve Absolute Value.

|x|= 3/2

We know either x= 3/2 or x=−3/2

x=3/2

(Possibility 1)

x=−3/2

(Possibility 2)

7 in 7.8 is 100 times greater than 7 in 23.97.

As the name suggests place value is where the digit is being placed in decimal number system.

We can multiply both these numbers by 100 in that way we'll get rid of the decimal and it doesn't effect our answer.

Now 7.8 and 23.97 multiplied by 100 becomes 780 and 2397.

We can observe that 7 in 780 is in hundreds place and 7 in 2397 is in ones place.

∴ If we divide (100/1) = 100.

So, it is 100 times greater.

Answer:

p=2

Step-by-step explanation:

The interval at which the function x³ + 3x² - 4x - 12 increases is

x ∈ (- ∞, - 2.5) ∪ (0.5, ∞).

We have,

x³ + 3x² - 4x - 12

We need to draw a graph to see at which interval the graph is increasing.

The graph is given below.

We see that the graph is increasing from x = -∞ to x = -2.5 and from  x = -2.5 it decreases till x = 0.5 and again from x = 0.5 it increases to x = ∞.

So we can write the interval as:

x ∈ (- ∞, - 2.5) and  x ∈ (0.5, ∞)

We can write it as one single interval as:

S = (- ∞, - 2.5) ∪ (0.5, ∞)

Thus the interval at which the function x³ + 3x² - 4x - 12 increases is

x ∈ (- ∞, - 2.5) ∪ (0.5, ∞).

The baseball coach bought each pizza at an approximate cost of $ 10 or an exact cost of $ 10.75.

In this problem we know that a baseball coach spends a total of $ 118.25 on buying 11 pizzas. First, we need to estimate the amount of money spent per each pizza bought, which is found by means of multiplication tables and the supposition of truncation, that is, finding the maximum integer less than or equal to the real total cost.

By direct inspection we find that 10 times the 11 pizzas is equal to $ 110, which is the maximum integer less than or equal to the real total cost. Then, we estimate a cost of $ 10 per each pizza bought. Second, the exact unit cost is found by dividing the total by the number of pizzas:

c = $ 118.25 / 11

c = $ 10.75

In a nutshell, the baseball coach bought each pizza at an approximate cost of $ 10 or an exact cost of $ 10.75.

8 halls would be required to accommodate 520 people in the hall.

As we know that a hall can accommodate 65 people.

To determine the number of hall required for 520 people,

first we need to find that how many halls would be required for one person,

So, we will divide the 1 by 6 to find :

The number of one person accommodate = 1/65 Hall

Then, 520 people required to accommodate = 1/65 × 520

                                                                      = 8 Halls.

Step-by-step explanation:

c=cheetah. a=antelope

a=c+120

c/90=a/60

c/90=(c+120)/60

60*c/90=60*(c+120)/60

6*c/9=c+120

2c/3=c+120

(2c/3=c+120)*3   ==> multiply the equation by 3 to get rid of fractions

2c=3c+360

2c-3c=3c-3c+360

-c=360

c=-360  feet==> position of cheetah before catching up to the antelope. This means that the cheetah needs to travel 360 feet before reaching 0 ft when it catches the antelope.

$3,708.33 is withheld monthly for state taxes.

Some states have a graduated income tax that involves a different tax rate for each of several levels of income. The tax rate increases as income increases.

Tax Withheld per Pay Period = Annual Tax Withheld/ Number of Pay Periods per Year

Here, we are given that Kerry McCarthy is a news traffic reporter with an annual gross pay of $44,500.

Thus, the Annual Tax Withheld = $44,500.

He is paid on a monthly basis ⇒ Number of Pay Periods per Year = 12

Hence, we get-

Tax Withheld per Pay Period = 44,500/ 12

= 3,708.33

The function is a good model for the data, capacity U. S. nuclear power plants were working in 2014 is 115% and the year when nuclear power plant working with full capacity is 2008.

Given that the table which shows the capacities at which U.S. nuclear power plants are working and a model of the situation is f(t)=0.027t²+0.216t+53.296.

The Scatter plot for our function and points is shown in attached image and the point are highly related to the curve .

So the function is good model.

The year 2014 means t=2014-1970=44

So to get the population,put t=44 in equation

f(t)=0.027(44)²+0.216(44)+53.296

f(t)=0.027(1936)+0.216(44)+53.296

f(t)=52.272+9.504+53.296

f(t)=115.072

And on rounding it we get 115%.

Now, to find year at which capacity is 100% ,put f(t)=100 and solve for t

f(t)=0.027t²+0.216t+53.296=100

0.027t²+0.216t+53.296=100

0.027t²+0.216t+53.296-100=0

0.027t²+0.216t-46.704=0

Now, we will solve this using quadratic formula for f(x) =ax²+bx+c=0

[tex]\begin{aligned}x&=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}\end[/tex]

for our function a= 0.027 , b=0.216 ,c=-46.704 substitute this value and we get

[tex]\begin{aligned}t&=\frac{-0.216\pm \sqrt{(0.216)^2-4\times 0.027\times (-46.704)}}{2\times 0.027}\\ &=\frac{-0.216\pm \sqrt{0.046656+5.044032}}{0.054}\\ &=\frac{-0.216\pm \sqrt{5.090688}}{0.054}\\ &=\frac{-0.216\pm 2.256}{0.54}\\ &=37.78, -45.78\end[/tex]

As we all know time cannot be negative so t=-45.78 will be rejected.

So, t=37.78=38

Now, we will find the corresponding year

1970+38=2008

Hence, from the given table the function is a good model for the data, capacity U. S. nuclear power plants were working in 2014 is 115% and the year when nuclear power plant working with full capacity is 2008.

The average rate of change of the function from x == -4 to x = 3 is calculated as: -26.

The formula for determining the average rate of change across a given interval of a function is expressed as:

Average rate of change = g(b) - g(a)/b - a.

Given the function, g(x) = -2x³ + 5 to find the average rate of change from x = -4 to x = 3, do the following:

a = -4

g(a) = g(-4) = -2(-4)³ + 5 = -2(-64) + 5 = 128 + 5 = 133

b = 3

g(b) = g(3) = -2(3)³ + 5 = -2(27) + 5 = -54 + 5 = -49

Substitute the values into g(b) - g(a)/b - a:

Average rate of change = (-49 - 133)/(3 - (-4))

Average rate of change = -182/7

Average rate of change = -26

Thus, the average rate of change of the function from x == -4 to x = 3 is calculated as: -26.
