Answer: the spring would be stretched by 38 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

The length that a hanging spring stretches varies directly with the weight placed at the end of the spring. Let L represent the length of the spring and let w represent the weight placed at the end of the spring. Introducing a constant of variation, k, the expression would be

L = kW

If a weight of 15lb stretches a certain spring 19in, the expression would be

19 = 15k

k = 19/15

The equation would be

L = 19w/15

if the weight is increased to 30lb, then the length by which the spring would be stretched is

L = 19 × 30/15

L = 38 inches

Factor. 2v^2-11v-63
Tatiana [17]

Answer:

  (2v +7)(v -9)

Step-by-step explanation:

Factors of 2·(-63) = -126 that have a sum of -11 are 7 and -18, so we can rewrite the middle term to -18v+7v. Then we can factor by grouping.

  2v^2 -18v +7v -63 = 2v(v -9) +7(v -9)

  = (2v +7)(v -9)

Use your SOH CAH TOA functions to find the missing legs. Do Sin(53.1) and that is equal to opposite (PU) over hypotenuse (UG) so to solve for the PU leg just set up an equation that says sin(53.1)=PU/36 so then you can just multiply the 36 over and that gives you the leg. To find PG do adjacent over hypotenuse so Cosine, cos(53.1)=PG/36 and again just multiply over the 36 and that gives you PG
