Answer:

The length of the shortest piece is  11 inches. The length of the medium piece is   14 inches. The length of the longest piece is  20 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok, so we have a long sandwich of 45 inches that will be divided in 3, giving us the following formula (x = shortest, y = medium, z=longest):

x + y + z = 45

Then we have middle piece (y) is 3 inches longer than the smallest (x):

y = x + 3

And the shortest  piece (x) is 9 inches shorter than  the longest (z):

x = z - 9 or z = x + 9

Let's place the found values of y and z in the first equation:

x + y + z = 45

x + (x + 3) + (x + 9) = 45

3x + 12 = 45

3x = 33

x = 11

So, x = 11, y = 14 and z = 20.  (11 + 14 + 20 = 45).

lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

Option c -2.8571

Step-by-step explanation:

z-score are calculated as

z=\frac{xbar-mean}{\frac{S.D}{\sqrt{n} } }.

We are given that mean=120 and standard deviation=S.D=35 as X~N(120,35).

Sample size=n=25.

We have to find z-score for x-bar=100. So,

z-score=[100-120]/[35/√25]

z-score=[-20]/[35/5]

z-score=-20/7

z-score=-2.8571.

Thus,  the z-score associated with x-bar = 100 is -2.8571.

Find the formula for an exponential function that passes through the two points given.
goldenfox [79]

Answer:

y = 7(3^x)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

(x_1,y_1) = (0,7)

(x_2,y_2) = (4,567)

Required

Determine the formula

An exponential function is of the form:

y = ab^x

For point (x_1,y_1) = (0,7)

7 = ab^0

7 = a*1

7 = a

a = 7

For point (x_2,y_2) = (4,567)

567 = ab^4

Substitute 7 for a

567 = 7*b^4

Divide both sides by 7

81 = b^4

Take 4th root of both sides

\sqrt[4]{81} =\sqrt[4]{b^4}

\sqrt[4]{81} =b

b = \sqrt[4]{81}

b = 3

Substitute 7 for a and 3 for b in y = ab^x

y = 7 * 3^x

y = 7(3^x)

Solve for a. 15(25−5a)=4−a
VMariaS [17]
15(25-5a)=4-a
375-75a=4-a
Add 75a to both sides
375= 4+74a
Subtract 4 from both sides
371=74a
Divide both by 74
5.01=a
