Solve |x| > -9.

1. no solution
2. all reals
3. {x | x < -9 or x > 9}

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

2. All reals

Step-by-step explanation:

It covers everything as absolute value (distance from 0)

If you graph it you will see

Answer 2
Answer:  All reals

Reason:

Absolute value represents distance on a number line. Specifically it's the distance from x to 0.

For example, |-2| = 2 means -2 is 2 units away from 0.

Since |x| represents a distance, we cannot have negative distance. So |x| is either 0 or positive. Furthermore, it means |x| is larger than any negative value you pick.

Therefore, |x| > -9 is true for any x value and it's why we go for "all reals" (aka "all real numbers")

3. (3, 5) and (k, 9), slope = 1/2
Linear relationships unit 3 lesson 10 grade 8 openuprespurces

Answers

Answer:

k = 11, if I understand the question.

Step-by-step explanation:

Please rephrase the question if my interpretation is incorrect.  (BTW, isn't (k,9) a dog?)

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

I'll assume that we want to find the value of k as given by the equation of a line that has a slope of (1/2).  

Let's determine if we can establish an equation with what we know:

1.  It goes through point (3,5), and

2.  It has a slope of (1/2)

We'll look for a line with the form y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept (the value of y when x=0).

From (2) we know y = (1/2)x + b.

We can find b by using the one known point that lies on the line (3,5).  Use y = (1/2)x + b, insert the point (3,5), and solve for b:

y = (1/2)x + b

5 = (1/2)(3) + b

5 = 1.5 + b

b = 3.5

The line is y = (1/2)x + 3.5.

Now use the point (k,9):

y = (1/2)x + 3.5

9 = (1/2)k + 3.5

(1/2)k = 5.5

k = 11

The point is (11,9) so k = 9

Claire and jane did an examination together. jane scored 9 more marks than claire and her marks were 60% of the sum of their scores. what are the scores of each student?

Answers

The score of Jane is 27 and the score of Claire is 18.

A linear equation is an equation where highest degree of variables is 1.

Let the score of Jane's mark is x

Given, that score Jane is 9 more than the score of Claire.

So, the score of Claire= x-9

Given, the score of Jane is 60% of the sum of their scores.

the sum of their scores is = x+x-9= 2x-9

from the above it is clear that

the linear equation will be

x=60%(2x-9)

⇒x=0.6(2x-9)

⇒x= 1.2x -5.4

⇒1.2x-x= 5.4

⇒0.2x= 5.4

⇒x= 5.4/0.2

⇒x= 27

So the score of Jane is 27.

As score Jane is 9 more than the score of Claire.

the score of Claire is = x-9= 27-9=18

Therefore the score of Jane is 27 and the score of Claire is 18.

I tried to use the law of cosine but the numbers I get are in decimal places and are too small for the angles.

Answers

Answer:

y = √119 ≈ 10.909θ ≈ 65.376°α ≈ 24.624°sin(θ) = (√119)/12 ≈ 0.909059cos(θ) = 5/12 ≈ 0.416667tan(θ) = (√119)/5 ≈ 2.181742csc(θ) = (12√119)/119 ≈ 1.100038sec(θ) = 2.4cot(θ) = (5√119)/119 ≈ 0.458349

Step-by-step explanation:

You can use the Law of Cosines after you find y or θ. Using the given information, you can apply the Pythagorean theorem, the Law of Sines, or the definition of the cosine trig function.

The mnemonic SOH CAH TOA is intended to remind you of the relations between sides and angles in a right triangle. It tells you ...

  Sin = Opposite/Hypotenuse

  Cos = Adjacent/Hypotenuse

Find y

The Pythagorean theorem relates the measures of the sides. It tells you ...

  y² +5² = 12²

  y = √(144 -25) = √119

Find angles

The trig relations above tell you ...

  sin(α) = 5/12   ⇒   α = arcsin(5/12) ≈ 24.624°

 cos(θ) = 5/12   ⇒   θ = arccos(5/12) ≈ 65.376°

Of course, once you find one of the angles, you can find the other. The sum of the two acute angles in a right triangle is 90°.

Find trig functions

Using the definitions above for the trig functions, you have ...

  sin(θ) = y/12 = (√119)/12

  cos(θ) = 5/12

  tan(θ) = y/5 = (√119)/5

Using trig identities, you have ...

  csc(θ) = 1/sin(θ) = 12/√119 = (12√119)/119

  sec(θ) = 1/cos(θ) = 12/5 = 2.4

  cot(θ) = 1/tan(θ) = 5/√119 = (5√119)/119

_____

Additional comment

The attached calculator screen shot shows you the angle θ on the first line, and the value of y on the second line. The csc, sec, and cot are shown on the third line. You will notice the angle mode (DEG) is seen in the lower left corner. If the calculator angle mode is set to radians, you will see the angles as relatively small radian values: θ ≈ 1.141, α ≈ 0.4298.

We have shown both exact values and decimal values you can round to the desired precision.

[tex]4^{-3}=\frac{1}{4^3} =\frac{1}{64} \\ \\ {\frac{4}{6} }^{-2}=( {\frac{6}{4} })^{2}=\frac{36}{16}[/tex]

2. Power. For this rule, you should repeat the base and multiply the exponents. See the  example, [tex](2^{2})^3=2^6=64[/tex].

3. Zero Exponent. When you have an exponent equals to zero, the result must be 1.  See the  example, [tex]2^0=1[/tex].

Answers

Answer:

  ia) center: (0, 0), the origin

  ib) angle: 90°

  ic) direction: CCW

  ii) LM ≅ L'M', ∠L ≅ ∠L'

  iii) (2, 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

A rigid transformation preserves size and shape of a figure, so the image is congruent to the original. The rigid transformations are rotation, reflection, and translation. Each has characteristics that allow one to determine the nature of the transformation(s) involved.

__

rotation

angle and direction

One way to determine the angle and direction of rotation of a figure is to compare a horizontal segment on the original with the corresponding segment on the image. Here, a convenient segment is NM, which is horizontal and points to the right. Its angle relative to the direction of the +x axis is 0°.

The transformed segment N'M' points upward, at an angle relative to the +x axis of 90°. This tells you the figure was rotated 90° in the CCW direction. (This is fully equivalent to a rotation of 270° in the CW direction.)

center

Points in a rotated image always remain at the same distance from the center of rotation as the original points. In most cases, the center of rotation is the origin. We can check to see if that is the case by looking at the distances of a couple of points from the origin.

  N is at coordinates (1, 1), so is √(1² +1²) = √2 from the origin

  N' is at coordinates (-1, 1), so is √((-1)² +1²) = √2 from the origin

  L is at coordinates (1, 3), so is √(1² +3²) = √10 from the origin

  L' is at coordinates (-3, 1) so is √((-3)² +1²) = √10 from the origin

This confirms that the origin is the center of rotation.

__

Since each point and its image are on a circle centered at the center of rotation, the line between them is a chord of that circle. The perpendicular bisector of that chord goes through the center of rotation. Here, we observe that the perpendicular bisector of NN' is the y-axis. The perpendicular bisector of LL' is a line with slope -2 through (-1, 2). It will intersect the y-axis at the origin, confirming the origin as the center of rotation.

__

geometric relationships

A rigid transformation preserves lengths and angles, so any length or angle on the rotated figure is congruent to the original:

 LM ≅ L'M', MN ≅ M'N', NL ≅ N'L'

  ∠L ≡ ∠L', ∠M ≡ ∠M', ∠N ≡ ∠N'

__

translation

The components of a translation vector add to the corresponding coordinates of a point.

Find the vertex and focus of the
parabola:
y²-10y + 4x + 21 = 0
Vertex = ([?],
[]
Focus=([], [])

Answers

Answer:

Vertex: (1, 5)

Focus: (0, 5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the parabola's equation is y² - 10y + 4x + 21 = 0, solve for the vertex and the focus.

Vertex:

Step 1: Isolate x to the left side of the equation; we get x = - (y² / 4) + (5y / 2) - (21 / 4).

Step 2: Complete the square of the previous equation; here we get - (1 / 4) * (y - 5)² + 1. x is squal to this.

Step 3: Use the vertex form, x = a(y - k)² + 1. a is - 1 / 4, h is 1, and k is 5.

Step 4: Fill in (h, k). We get the answer (1, 5) as the vertex.

Focus:

Step 1: Find p, and distance from the vertex to the focus. We can find p by using 1 / (4a).

Step 2: Simplify. This gives us -1 as p.

Step 3: We plug in the values we just got earlier to get the vertex. The focus of a parabola can be found by using: (h + p, k).

Step 4: Substitude the values. We have (1 + -1, 5).

Step 5: Simplify. Therefore, the answer is (0, 5).
