How Can I Write an Absolute Value Function for the Outline of the Khufu Pyramid?

AI Thread Summary
To write an absolute value function for the outline of the Khufu Pyramid, it's important to understand that the pyramid's dimensions are 450 feet tall and 755 feet long at the base, with the origin centered at the base. The absolute value function can represent the pyramid's triangular outline by modeling the slope of the sides. The discussion also highlights confusion regarding simultaneous linear equations, with users suggesting to solve them by manipulating the equations. There is a call for clarity and focus on one question per thread to facilitate better assistance. The thread ultimately seeks help in formulating a mathematical representation of the pyramid's structure.

Okay, we don't understand this and we need much help


the largest pyramid included in the first wonder of the world is Khufu. IT stands 450 feet tall and its base is 755 feet long. Imagine that a coordinate plane is placed over side of the pyramid. In the coordinate plane, each unit represent one foot and the origin is at the center of the pyramid base. Write an abolute value function for the outline of the pyramid

please help:confused:

Do you know what "absolute value function" means?
 
hey...help me on this problem of simultanous linear equation;

2x-3y=9t
4x-y=8t

Multiply your first equation by 2 and subtract the formulas from each other.
And someone move this to a new thread :)

How about one question per thread?

For the solution: try multiplying the top one by 2 and subtracting them.
