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

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around formulating an absolute value function that represents the outline of the Khufu Pyramid, considering its dimensions and placement on a coordinate plane. The scope includes mathematical reasoning related to geometry and functions.

Discussion Character

  • Mathematical reasoning
  • Homework-related

Main Points Raised

  • One participant requests assistance in writing an absolute value function for the outline of the Khufu Pyramid, providing its height and base length.
  • Another participant questions the necessity of starting a new thread for this problem, referencing a previous discussion on the same topic.
  • Some participants express frustration over a lack of responses to earlier inquiries.
  • There are unrelated posts regarding simultaneous linear equations, which do not directly contribute to the original question about the pyramid.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

The discussion does not reach a consensus on how to formulate the absolute value function, and multiple unrelated topics are introduced, indicating a lack of focus on the original question.

Contextual Notes

Some participants appear to misunderstand the concept of an "absolute value function," and there are unresolved issues regarding the clarity of the original problem statement.

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.
