Answer:

140 centimeters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

A 2.4 meter log is split into the ratio 7:5. Each unit part is one x-increment, so the log is split into 7 x-increments and 5 x-increments.

Find the longer length:

  • 2.4 into 7:5
  • 2.4 = 7x + 5x
  • 2.4 = 12x
  • x = 2.4/12
  • x = 0.2

Now, we must find the longer length, 7x.

  • 7x
  • 7(0.2)
  • 1.4

The longer length is 1.4 meters, but we want it in cm.

There are 100 centimeters in a meter.

  • 1.4 meters = 1.4 * 100
  • 1.4 meters = 140 centimeters

The longer length is 140 centimeters.

Find the domain of each function f(x)=1/x
Tasya [4]

Answer:

Domain is all the possible x-values that can be plugged in and range is all the possible y-values that can be outputs. f(x)=1x can have any number as an input except for zero. If we plug in zero for x , then we would be dividing by zero which is impossible. Thus the domain is all real numbers except for zero.
