Explain why the following expression is false. |x| < -4

Mathematics
1 answer:
Zina [12.3K]2 months ago
8 0

Step-by-step explanation:

When a negative number is placed within a modulus function, the result will be positive. For instance, |-3| equals 3, |-6| equals 6, and |5| equals 5, etc.

A modulus function, expressed as |x|, is always positive unless x is zero, in which case it equals zero.

Consequently, |x| cannot be less than -4 because |x| is always non-negative. Thus, the statement is inaccurate.

Which function has an inverse that is also a function?
Leona [12618]
An inverse function will also qualify as a function if the original is a One-to-One function. This means that each y value corresponds to exactly one x value, thus ensuring that the inverse remains a function.

The function shown in option C meets this criteria, as all x values and y values are distinct. Therefore, the inverse of the function in option C will also be a functional relation.

In contrast, other options have repeated y values, indicating they do not exhibit the one-to-one characteristic.

Hence, the correct answer is option C

A cone-shaped water cup has a height of 3.3 inches and a diameter of 2.7 inches. One fluid ounce is equivalent to 1.8 cubic inch
lawyer [12517]
The capacity is approximately 3.5 fluid ounces. In order to determine this, we need to compute the volume of a cone-shaped cup. The formula for the volume of a cone is: 1/3 * π * r^2 * h, where r equals the diameter divided by 2, which gives 1.35 inches, and h equals 3.3 inches. After substituting these values, we find the volume to be V = 1/3 * 3.14 * 1.35^2 * 3.3 = 6.3 cubic inches. To convert cubic inches to fluid ounces, we use the relationship that 1 fluid ounce is equal to 1.8 cubic inches. Therefore, x fluid ounces equal to 6.3 cubic inches leads to x = 6.3 / 1.8, which results in 3.5 fluid ounces.

 x = 27 + 3 √ 129/ 4, 27 − 3 √ 129/ 4

Please note: the entire equation mentioned is divided by 4, not only the last term. 

 x approximates to 15.26836251, − 1.76836251

That concludes my response. I hope this is helpful. You will still need to work on finding y and z, which can be quite challenging:)
