Each piece is x inches long. If she cut 5 inches from x, then it's now x-5 inches long.

This is equal to 3 inches (given) so equate the two expressions and isolate x

x-5 = 3
x-5+5 = 3+5
x = 8

Each piece is 8 inches long. There are 3 pieces. Therefore the original ribbon was 24 inches long (8*3 = 24).

A triangle has sides of lengths 12, 14, and 19. Is it a right triangle? Explain.
Molodets [167]
A^2 + b^2 = c^2 
<span>C should equal to the longer side, which would be 19. </span>
<span>Plug in other two numbers for A and B. </span>
<span>12^2 + 14^2 = 19^2 </span>
<span>Now see if it's correct. If it is, then it's a right triangle, if it's not then it isn't a right triangle. </span>
<span>144 + 196 = 361 </span>
<span>340 = 361 </span>
<span>It's not a right triangle.</span>

Answer:

5.0 ft-lbf

Step-by-step explanation:

The force is

F = \dfrac{9}{6^x}

This force is not a constant force. For a non-constant force, the work done, <em>W</em>, is

W = \int\limits^{x_2}_{x_1} {F(x)} \, dx

with x_1 and x_2 the initial and final displacements respectively.

From the question, x_1  =0 and x_2 = 12.

Then

W = \int\limits^{12}_0 {\dfrac{9}{6^x}} \, dx

Evaluating the indefinite integral,

\int\limits \dfrac{9}{6^x} \, dx  =9 \int\limits\!\left(\frac{1}{6}\right)^x \, dx

From the rules of integration,

\int\limits a^x\, dx = \dfrac{a^x}{\ln a}

9 \int\limits \left(\frac{1}{6}\right)^x \, dx = 9\times\dfrac{(1/6)^x}{\ln(1/6)} = -5.0229\left(\dfrac{1}{6}\right)^x

Returning the limits,

\left.-5.0229\left(\dfrac{1}{6}\right)^x\right|^{12}_0 = -5.0229(0.1667^{12} - 0.1667^0) = 5.0229 \approx 5.0 \text{ ft-lbf}
