A 12 foot rope is cut into two pieces so that one piece is 3 feet less than twice the length of the other piece. how long is each piece?

Answers

Answer 1

12 feet long

 1st piece = x

2nd piece = 2x-3

3x-3 =12

3x=15

x = 5

 1st piece = 5 feet

 2nd piece = 2*5=10-3=7 feet

Find Y of the polygon

Answers

I that 'y' is 45 degrees because of alternate angles (I think its called).

If you look at the large triangle on the left where the corner angles are 35 and 80 and 20+an unknown angle. We can work out the missing angle by doing 180-80-35-20= 45. 

And so if we use the fact that alternate angle must be equal then y= 45 degrees (I think!)

180° - 35° - 80° = 65° (sum of ∠s in a ∆)
65° - 20° = 45°
y = 45° (alt. ∠s)

time          rent
hours          $

3                 43
8               113

Assume a linear relation, this is r(t)= Ax + C

=> [r - 43] / [ x - 3] = [113 - 43] / 8 - 3]

=> [r - 43] / [x - 3] = 70 / 5

=> [r - 43] / [x - 3] = 14

=> r - 43 = 14 [x - 3]

=> r - 43 = 14x - 14*3

=> r - 43 = 14x - 42

=> r - 14x - 1 = 0   <----- standard form



Part B: Write the equation obtained in Part A using function notation. (2 points)

r - 14x - 1 = 0  => r(x) = 14x + 1  <------------- function notation, r(x)

Steel, Pumpkin Pie, Whipped Cream, Air

Answer: Hello there!

We know that:

[tex]density = \frac{mass}{volume}[/tex]

This means that two of two objects whit the same size ( volume) the heaviest one is the more dense object.

The 4 that we have here are:

Air, Pumpkin pie, Whipped cream, and Steel

It is easy to assume that the steel is the more dense object.

The pumpkin pie comes second

third is the whipped cream, which is cream with a lot of tiny air bubbles inside

the less dense object is the air.

then the order is:

Steel, pumpkin pie, whipped cream, air.

Determine the solution set of x^2-80=0.

Answers

x^2 - 80 = 0
x^2 = 80 ...take the square root of both sides, eliminating the ^2
x = (+-) sqrt 80
x = (+-) sqrt 16 * 5
x = (+-) 4 sqrt 5

so x = 4 sqrt 5 or x = -4 sqrt 5

Answer:  The required solution set of the given equation is [tex]\{4\sqrt5,-4\sqrt5\}.[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:  We are given to determine the solution set of the following quadratic equation :

[tex]x^2-80=0~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)[/tex]

Since the given equation does not contain the term involving x, so we will use the method of square root to solve the given equation.

The solution of equation (i) is as follows :

[tex]x^2-80=0\\\\\Rightarrow x^2=80\\\\\Rightarrow x=\pm\sqrt{80}~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~[\textup{taking square root on both sides}]\\\\\Rightarrow x=\pm\sqrt{16\times5}\\\\\Rightarrow x=\pm4\sqrt5.[/tex]

Thus, the required solution set of the given equation is [tex]\{4\sqrt5,-4\sqrt5\}.[/tex]

k compounded monthly 12
T time 20 years
A=300×(1+0.013÷12)^(12×20)

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for final value of compound interest is given by

[tex]A=P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}[/tex]

Here, we have

P = $300

r = 0.013

t = 20 years

n = 12

Substituting these values and find A

Which of the following equations represents an inverse variation?

A.
6y = x
B.
1/2y = 1/x
C.
–x = y + 8
D.
y = 1/4x

Answers

An equation typically used to represent inverse variation is y = k/x, where k is the "constant of proportionality for inverse variation."

6y = x does not represent inverse variation, since y increases when x increases or x increases when y increases. This is an example of direct proportion and is thus not an answer.


1/2y = 1/x should be written as (1/2)y = 1/x, to emphasize that (1/2) is a coefficient of y. Let's solve for y to see what form the resulting equation has:

(1/2)y = 1/x => y = 2/x. This has the form y = k/x, and thus represents inverse variation. y decreases when x increases.


–x = y + 8 is a linear equation and thus could not possibly represent inverse proportion. The "offset," +8, also makes it impossible for –x = y + 8 to represent direct variation. Reject this answer choice.


y = 1/4x has the form y = (1/4)x, which resembles a rule for direct variation.

Note, however, that if you really meant y = 1 / (4x), or y = (1/4)(1/x), then this would be a case of inverse variation.


The only answer choice in this problem that clearly represents indirect variation is (1/2)y = 1/x (as I have already said, above).

What are the vertical and horizontal asymptotes for the function f(x)= x^2+x-6/x^3-1?

Answers

The horizontal asymptotes will occur when x approaches ±oo

The easy way to see this is to divide all terms by the highest order variable...

(x^2/x^3 +x/x^3-6/x^3)/(x^3/x^3-1/x^3) and all of that mess boils down to

0/1 or just 0 as x approaches ±oo

So the horizontal asymptote is the horizontal line y=0

The vertical asymptote will occur when there is division by zero, which is undefined because it is not a real value.

x^3-1=0

(x-1)(x^2+x+1)=0

So this only occurs as x approaches -1, so the vertical asymptote is the vertical line x=-1.

Answer:

Hence, x=1 is the vertical asymptote

Hence, y=0 is the horizontal asymptote

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given an expression

[tex]\frac{x^2+x-6}{x^3-1}[/tex]

For vertical asymptote  we equate the denominator to zero that means

[tex]x^3-1=0[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow x^3=1[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow x=1[/tex]

Hence, x=1 is the vertical asymptote.

Now, for horizontal asymptote we compare the degree of numerator and denominator

Here degree of numerator is 2 and degree of denominator is 3

When degree of denominator is greater than degree of numerator y=0 is the horizontal asymptote

Hence, y=0 is the horizontal asymptote.

Answers

The graph of a function, given in a coordinate axis, is (the set of) all the points (x, y) which appear on the coordinate axis.

The Domain is the set of all first coordinates, the x'es.
The Range is the set of all the second coordinates, the y's.

1.

We can see the points (-2, 0), (-1, 1) and (2, -1)

Domain={-2, -1, 2}    Range={-1, 0, 1}

2. 

We see that x can be any value such that -1<x≤1

and y can be any value such that -1≤y<2

so

Domain: x, such that -1<x≤1 

Range: y, such that -1≤y<2

Answers

When you graph the following lines, the set of equations that has (5, 0) as its solution are lines A and B. You can see that both lines passes though the coordinate (5,0). Another way of determining if the given coordinate is a solution to the equation to to establish an equation using these points. In here, i will use the point - slope form.
for line A, we have (-3,4) and (9, -2)
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
y - 4 = (-2 - 4/9 -(-3))(x - (-3))
y - 4 = -(1/2)(x+3)
2y - 8 = -x - 3
2y = -x + 5

substitute (5,0)
2(0) = -5 + 5
0 = 0

A puzzle contains a triangular piece with a base of 3 in. and a height of 4 in. A manufacturer wants to make 80 puzzles. Find the amount of wood used if each puzzle contains 20 triangular pieces.

Answers

I believe this question asks for the total amount of area of wood that is needed to make 80 puzzles.

The formula for area of triangle is given as:

A = (1 / 2) b h

where,

b = is the base of the triangle = 3 in

h = height of the triangle = 4 in

 

So calculating for area of 1 on triangle (A1):

A1 = (1 / 2) (3 in) (4 in)

A1 = (1 / 2) 12 in^2

A1 = 6 in^2

 

We are given that we are to make 80 puzzles and each puzzle has 20 triangles, therefore the total amount of triangles we need to make is:

n = 80 * 20

n = 1600

 

Therefore the total area needed (A) is:

A = A1 * n

A = 6 in^2 * 1600

A = 9,600 in^2
