The standard diameter of a golf ball is 42.67 mm. A golf ball factory does quality control on the balls it manufactures. Golf balls are randomly measured to ensure the correct size. One day, an inspector decides to stop production if the discrepancy in diameter is more than 0.002 mm. What is the range of acceptable values?
42.668 mm to 42.670 mm
42.668 mm to 42.672 mm
42.670 mm to 42.672 mm
42.670 mm to 42.674 mm

THE ANSWER IS A:

This is the function:

f(x)=|42.67-x|.

42.670 -.002 =42.668

42.668 mm to 42.670

Explanation:

Production will be stopped if the difference in diameter is greater than 0.002 mm.

This difference can mean that the golf ball has a diameter more than 0.002 larger than 42.67 mm, or a diameter more than 0.002 smaller than 42.67. This is the reason for using an absolute value function.

 Absolute value represents the distance a number is from 0. For this function, we would want only the values where the function is less than 0.002.

A

Step-by-step explanation:

42.668 mm to 42.670 mm

given that triangle abc is transformed two times to get triangle

a"b"c"

first abc is transformed in to a'b'c' as follows:

the coordinates of a are (1,-1) and transformed into a'(-1,1)

similarly b (4,-2) became b'(-4,2) and

c(7,-2) became c'(-7,2)

i.e. (x,y) becomes (-x,-y)

this is nothing but reflection about a point here origin.

thus first transformation is reflection on the origin.

next is exactly shifting 3 units down

answer: the distance

step-by-step explanation:

to calculate the distance d of a line segment with endpoints (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) use the formula d (x2 x1)2 (y2 y1)2. to calculate the midpoint of a line segment with endpoints (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) use the formula
