Explanation Given: The equation is | x − 1 | − | x − 3 | ≥ 5 . Definition used: An absolute function is defined as, | x | = { x if x ≥ 0 − x if x < 0 . From the definition, the given equation is expressed as follows. | x − 1 | = { x − 1 if x − 1 ≥ 0 − ( x − 1 ) if x − 1 < 0 and | x − 3 | = { x − 3 if x − 3 ≥ 0 − ( x − 3 ) if x − 3 < 0 Simplify further as, | x − 1 | = { x − 1 if x ≥ 1 − x + 1 if x < 1 and | x − 3 | = { x − 3 if x ≥ 3 − x + 3 if x < 3 . Therefore, there exist three cases such as, x < 1 , 1 ≤ x < 3 and x ≥ 3

find the zeros of the function algebraically: f(x) = 9x2 - 3x - 2

Rylee's car is stuck in the mud. Roman and Shanice come along in a truck to help pull her out. They attach one end of a tow strap to the front of the car and the other end to the truck's trailer hitch, and the truck starts to pull. Meanwhile, Roman and Shanice get behind the car and push. The truck generates a horizontal force of 377 lb on the car. Roman and Shanice are pushing at a slight upward angle and generate a force of 119 lb on the car. These forces can be represented by vectors, as shown in the figure below. The angle between these vectors is 20.2°. Find the resultant force (the vector sum), then give its magnitude and its direction angle from the positive x-axis. 119 lb 20.2° 377 lb
