Morgan is walking her dog on an 8-meter-long leash. She is currently 500 meters from her house, so the maximum and minimum dista

nces that the dog may be from the house can be found using the equation |x – 500| = 8. What are the minimum and maximum distances that Morgan's dog may be from the house?

Answer: The minimum and maximum distances that Morgan's dog may be from the house are 508 meters and 492 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to solve the given equation: |x – 500| = 8.

The modulus can take a positive value (x - 500) or a negative value (-x+500).

  • <em>For the positive value: </em>

x -500 = 8

x = 8+500

x =508

  • <em>For the negative value: </em>

- (x -500) =8

-x +500 =8  

500 -8 = x

492 =x

So, the minimum and maximum distances that Morgan's dog may be from the house are 508 meters and 492 meters.

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.

A company that manufactures small canoes has a fixed cost of $ 18 comma 000$18,000. It costs $ 120$120 to produce each canoe. Th
Scilla [17]
If the company makes 1 canoe only, then the cost is, the fixed cost plus how much it costs for the 1 canoe, or
180,000 + 1*120

if it makes 2 canoes
180,000 + 2*120
3 canoes   180,000 + 3*120
4canoes   180,000 + 4*120
x canoes  180,000 + x*120

so... we dunno what "x" is, but whatever "x" maybe, the cost ends up as 180,000 + x*120, or 180,000 + 120x

now, let's see the revenue
1 canoe 1 * 240
2 canoes 2*240
3 canoes 3*240
x canoes x*240

so.. whatever "x" maybe, the Revenue is x*240 or 240x

break-even point is when, the amount of expenses and earnings cancel each other out, or, there's no profit, but there's no loss either, same amount that's spent is also earned back

so, the break-even point occurs when Revenue = Cost

180,000 + 120x = 240x     <--- solve for "x"

The general form of the equation of a circle is 7x2 + 7y2 − 28x + 42y − 35 = 0. The equation of this circle in standard form is
Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

The standard form of a circle is (x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2 with (h,k) being the center of the circle and r being the radius. In this case the circle's equation in standard form is (x-2)^2 + (y+3)^2 = 18. Knowing this it's easy to see that the center of the circle (h,k) is (2,-3). Finally the radius is \sqrt{18} or in simplified terms, 3\sqrt{2}
