If the length of a uniform pipe is 45 pounds, then the 18 pound piece is 18/45 the length of the pipe. If 18/45 of the length of the pipe is equal to 3 feet, then we can set up the equation:
(18/45)x = 3ft
Where x is the total length of the pipe. Solving for x:
<span>(18/45)x = 3ft
</span>18x = 135
x = 7.5 feet

We now know that the total length of the pipe before being cut is 7.5 feet. Since the first piece was 3 feet, we know that the second piece must be 4.5 feet (7.5 - 3).

Answer: 4.5 feet

Answer:

π − 12

Step-by-step explanation:

lim(x→2) (sin(πx) + 8 − x³) / (x − 2)

If we substitute x = u + 2:

lim(u→0) (sin(π(u + 2)) + 8 − (u + 2)³) / ((u + 2) − 2)

lim(u→0) (sin(πu + 2π) + 8 − (u + 2)³) / u

Distribute the cube:

lim(u→0) (sin(πu + 2π) + 8 − (u³ + 6u² + 12u + 8)) / u

lim(u→0) (sin(πu + 2π) + 8 − u³ − 6u² − 12u − 8) / u

lim(u→0) (sin(πu + 2π) − u³ − 6u² − 12u) / u

Using angle sum formula:

lim(u→0) (sin(πu) cos(2π) + sin(2π) cos(πu) − u³ − 6u² − 12u) / u

lim(u→0) (sin(πu) − u³ − 6u² − 12u) / u

Divide:

lim(u→0) [ (sin(πu) / u) − u² − 6u − 12 ]

lim(u→0) (sin(πu) / u) + lim(u→0) (-u² − 6u − 12)

lim(u→0) (sin(πu) / u) − 12

Multiply and divide by π.

lim(u→0) (π sin(πu) / (πu)) − 12

π lim(u→0) (sin(πu) / (πu)) − 12

Use special identity, lim(x→0) ((sin x) / x ) = 1.

π (1) − 12

π − 12

gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

The answer to your question is: P(A) = 0.47

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

7 red flowers

3 white flowers

5 yellow flowers

Probability  that he select a red one

Formula

 P(A) = Number of favorable cases of A / total number of outcomes

Number of favorable cases = 7

Total number of outcomes = 7 + 3 + 5 = 15

Substitution

                      P(A) = 7 / 15

                      P(A) = 0.47
