For what values of a are the following expressions true?

| a-5 | = 5-a

Answers

Answer 1
Question:-

what values of a are the following expressions true?

Expression :-

|a-5| =5-a

Answer:-

Try putting values of ( a )

Greater than 5 Less than 5 Equal to 5

First attempt :- Greater than 5

picking random number :-

Putting a = 6 :-

[tex] |a-5| =5-a \\ |6-5| =5-6 \\ | 1| = -1 \\ 1 \cancel = ( - 1) [/tex]

so a is not equal to 6

Putting a = 8

[tex]|a-5| =5-a \\ |8 - 5| =5-8 \\ |3| = - 3 \\ 3 \cancel = - 3[/tex]

a is also not equal to 8

so above values we can find a common result that a not equal to value bigger than 5

Second attempt :- Less than 5

picking random number

Putting a equal to 1

[tex]|a-5| =5-a \\|1-5| =5-1 \\ | - 4| =4 \\ 4 = 4[/tex]

a can be equal to 1

Putting a equal to -3

[tex]|a-5| =5-a \\| - 3-5| =5-( - 3) \\ | - 8| = 8\\ 8 = 8[/tex]

a can be equal to -3

So we can have a common result that a can be equal to values less than 5

Third attempt :- a equal to 5

putting a equal to 5

[tex]|a-5| =5-a \\ |5 - 5| =5-5 \\ |0| =0 \\ 0 = 0[/tex]

So we can say a can be equal to 5

Result :- (a) can be equal to or less than 5

Answer:

C. -16.25 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to find out the total rainfall in the three days

0.75 + 0.75 + 0.75 = 2.25

Now, we need to subtract this number from 18.5

18.5 - 2.25 is 16.25

So, your answer is -16.25

Among all pairs of numbers with a sum of 39, find the pair whose product is maximum. Write your answers as fractions reduced to lowest terms

Answers

Answer:

39/2, 39/2 give a maximum product.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 1 number be x then the other is 39-x.

Product P = x(39 - x)

= 39x - x^2.

Finding the derivative:

dP/dx = 39 - 2x

When P is a maximum or minimum dP/dx = 0, so

39 - 2x = 0

x = 39/2.

The 2 numbers are both 39/2.

AB, CD, and EF intersect at O. If CD is perpendicular to EF and m

Answers

Answer:

m(∠AOF) = 148°

Step-by-step explanation:

From the figure attached,

CD intersects line EF at a point O.

Line CD is perpendicular to the line EF.

m(∠AOE) = 32°

m(∠COE) = 90°

Since m(∠COE) = m(∠AOE) + m(∠AOC) = 90°

32° + m(∠AOC) = 90°

m(∠AOC) = 90° - 32° = 58°

m(∠AOF) = m(∠AOC) + m(∠COF)

               = 58° + 90°

               = 148°

Therefore, m(∠AOF) = 148° will be the answer.

The cost of renting a car for one day is $39 plus 15 cents per mile driven. In a graph of the situation, what does the cost per mile driven represent?

Answers

Answer:

It will represent the slope of the graph

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we are interested in getting what the cost per mile driven represent

From the information, we can represent the cost as;

C = 15d + 39

In this case we have a representation of the cost using the fixed daily cost(y-intercept) and the cost depending on the number of miles driven which will change based on the number of miles.

Since it is changing, it represents the slope of the function for cost

Dr. David Smith lived 1/13 of his life as a child. He spent 4/39 of his life preparing for an outstanding
medical career. For 1/ 2 of his life, he was a successful surgeon in a famous children's hospital. Since his
retirement, he has lived 13 years on a comfortable pension. How old is he? (unrealistic answer))

Answers

Answer:

40 14/25 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Well, this certainly is fun.

First, to find the fraction of the doctor's life which 13 years represents, subtract the fractions from 1 (and in this case l stands for lifetime):

[tex]13 = (1 - (\frac{1}{13} + \frac{4}{39} + \frac{1}{2}))(l)[/tex]

[tex]13 = (\frac{25}{78})(l)[/tex]

So, multiply this equation by the reciprocal of 25/78 to isolate one of l:

[tex]13(\frac{78}{25}) = l[/tex]

[tex]l = 40\frac{14}{25}[/tex] years

Circle the irrational number in the list below. 7.27, 5, 9215, 2196

Answers

Answer:

7.27 is the irrational number

Step-by-step explanation:

7.27 can not turn into a fraction because it keeps on repeating

There are no Irrational numbers in the list.

We have a set of numbers - 7.27, 5, 9215, 2196.

We have to circle out the Irrational ones.

What are Irrational Numbers?

Irrational numbers are the set of real numbers that cannot be expressed in the form of a fraction - p/q where p and q are integers.

According to the question, we have -

7.27, 5, 9215, 2196

Now -

7.27 =  [tex]$\frac{727}{100}[/tex]  → It is Rational.

5 = [tex]$\frac{5}{1}[/tex] → It is Rational.

9215 = [tex]$\frac{9215}{1}[/tex] → It is Rational.

9215 = [tex]$\frac{2196}{1}[/tex] → It is Rational.

All the numbers are Rational as they can be expressed in the form of p/q.

Hence, there are no Irrational numbers in the list.

The ratio of dogs to cats in a zoo choir is 4 : 3. There are 6 more dogs than cats. If another 2 cats join the choir, what will be the new ratio of dogs to cats?

Answers

Answer:

6:5

Step-by-step explanation:

c = number of cats

d = number of dogs

d = c+6

Set up a ratio:

4/3 = d/c

Then replace d with c+6, so your equation only has one variable.

[tex]\frac{4}{3} = \frac{c+6}{c}[/tex]

Cross multiply

4c = 3(c+6)

Multiply everything in the parentheses by 3.

4c = 3c + 18

Subtract 3c from both sides

4c - 3c = 18

c = 18

d = c + 6 = 18 + 6 = 24

If 2 more cats join, then you will have 20 cats and 24 dogs, so the ratio of dogs to cats will now be 24:20.  Divide each side by 4 for a ratio of 6:5.

What are the Properties of logarithms?

There are four basic properties of logarithms:

[tex]\rm log_aU+ log_aV = log_a(UV)\\\\\rm log_aU - log_aV = log_a(\dfrac{U}{V})\\\\\rm log_aU^n = n\ log_aU\\\\\rm log_ab = \dfrac{log_xb}{log_xa}[/tex]

The given logarithmic problem can be solved in the following manner,

You will need the above information to help you interpret the graph. First off, keep in mind that although this looks EXACTLY like the sine graph, if you plan on writing your equation as a function of cosine, then there WILL be a horisontal shift, meaning that a C-term will be involved. As you can see, the photograph on the right displays the trigonometric graph of [tex]\displaystyle y = 2cos\:2x,[/tex]in which you need to replase "sine" with "cosine", then figure out the appropriate C-term that will make the graph horisontally shift and map onto the sine graph [photograph on the left], accourding to the horisontal shift formula above. Also keep in mind that the −C gives you the OPPOCITE TERMS OF WHAT THEY REALLY ARE, so you must be careful with your calculations. So, between the two photographs, we can tell that the cosine graph [photograph on the right] is shifted [tex]\displaystyle \frac{\pi}{4}\:unit[/tex]to the left, which means that in order to match the sine graph [photograph on the left], we need to shift the graph FORWARD [tex]\displaystyle \frac{\pi}{4}\:unit,[/tex]which means the C-term will be positive, and by perfourming your calculations, you will arrive at [tex]\displaystyle \boxed{\frac{\pi}{4}} = \frac{\frac{\pi}{2}}{2}.[/tex]So, the cosine graph of the sine graph, accourding to the horisontal shift, is [tex]\displaystyle y = 2cos\:(2x - \frac{\pi}{2}).[/tex]Now, with all that being said, in this case, sinse you ONLY have a graph to wourk with, you MUST figure the period out by using wavelengths. So, looking at where the graph hits [tex]\displaystyle [-2\frac{1}{4}\pi, -2],[/tex]from there to [tex]\displaystyle [-1\frac{1}{4}\pi, -2],[/tex]they are obviously [tex]\displaystyle \pi\:units[/tex]apart, telling you that the period of the graph is [tex]\displaystyle \pi.[/tex]Now, the amplitude is obvious to figure out because it is the A-term, but of cource, if you want to be certain it is the amplitude, look at the graph to see how low and high each crest extends beyond the midline. The midline is the centre of your graph, also known as the vertical shift, which in this case the centre is at [tex]\displaystyle y = 0,[/tex]in which each crest is extended two units beyond the midline, hence, your amplitude. So, no matter how far the graph shifts vertically, the midline will ALWAYS follow.
