The length of the pieces are 5 foot and 8 foot.

<h3>what is Algebra?</h3>

Algebra is the part of mathematics that helps represent problems or situations in the form of mathematical expressions.

Given:

Total length of board is 13 foot.

let the length of first piece be x

and length of second piece be y

So, x+ y = 13 .......(1)

Now, The length of the shorter piece is 1 ft more than half the length of the longer piece

x = y/2 + 1......(2)

Now, solving (1) and (2) we get

y/2 + 1 + y = 13

3y/2 = 12

y=24/3

y=8

Then x= 13-8

x= 5

Hence, the length of the pieces are 5 foot and 8 foot.

Given f(x) and g(x) = k·f(x), use the graph to determine the value of k.<br> g(x)
djyliett [7]
<h2>Explanation:</h2>

The diagram for this exercise is attached below. We have two linear functions f(x) \ and \ g(x) and the following relationship:

g(x) = kf(x)

From the graph, we know that:

f(-3)=1 \\ \\ g(-3)=-3

Then, substituting into the relationship:

g(-3)=kf(-3) \\ \\ -3=k(1) \\ \\ \\ Finally: \\ \\ \boxed{k=-3}
