Hello! I hope I can be of some assistance on this question! Anyways,
It is a simple and fun geometrical problem, and it makes all sense until: "The slope of Line segment DE is found to be 0 through the application of the slope formula:" After that it gets all confusing etc. The slope formula applied to DE is simply:(difference between the y coordinates) divided by (difference of the x coordinates).In this case, by construction, D and E have the same y coordinate equal to y1 / 2.Therefore the slope is zero. Using the same technique, you will find that the slope of segment AC is also zero (by construction obviously since point A is the origin (0,0) and point C is on the x-axis. Therefore:The slope of segments DE and AC is not 0. = INCORRECTSegments DE and AC are parallel by construction. = CORRECT (they have the same slope)The coordinates of D and E were found using the Midpoint Formula. = CORRECTThe coordinates of D and E were found using the slope formula. = INCORRECT Very confusing problem, but I hope this helps!
Answer:
- 34 < x < 10
Step-by-step explanation:
Inequalities of the type | x | < a, always have a solution of the form
- a < x < a
given | x + 12 | + 5 < 27 ( subtract 5 from both sides )
| x + 12 | < 22, then
- 22 < x + 12 < 22 ( subtract 12 from all 3 intervals )
- 34 < x < 10
