Explain why \(|x|<-4\) has no solution.
Determine whether each statement makes sense or does not make sense, and explain your reasoning. Because I want to solve \(25 x^{2}-169=0\) fairly quickly, I'll use the quadratic formula.
Each group member should research one situation that provides two different pricing options. These can involve areas such as public transportation options (with or without discount passes), cellphone plans, long-distance telephone plans, or anything of interest. Be sure to bring in all the details for each option. At a second group meeting, select the two pricing situations that are most interesting and relevant. Using each situation, write a word problem about selecting the better of the two options. The word problem should be one that can be solved using a linear inequality. The group should turn in the two problems and their solutions.
Determine whether each statement makes sense or does not make sense, and explain your reasoning. The model \(P=-0.18 n+2.1\) describes the number of pay phones, \(P,\) in millions, \(n\) years after \(2000,\) so I have to solve a linear equation to determine the number of pay phones in 2010.
Explain how to determine the restrictions on the variable for the equation $$ \frac{3}{x+5}+\frac{4}{x-2}=\frac{7}{x^{2}+3 x-6} $$
