x = long piece

y = short piece

 x = 2y+1

2y +1 +y =16

3y +1 = 16

3y =15

y = 15/3 =5

 y = 5

x = 2(5) +1 = 11

short piece is 5 feet

long piece is 11 feet

Use the coordinate grid to determine the coordinates of point A;
faltersainse [42]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The coordinates of point P are (-1.4,0.6)

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given A coordinate grid shown from negative 2 to positive 2 on x-axis and negative 2 to positive 2 on y-axis. There are 4 grid lines between a whole unit of the grid.

that means each grid has a value of 0.2.

" A point labeled P is shown at the intersection of 7 grid lines to the left of the y-axis and 3 grid lines above the x-axis "

As P lies on the left of the y-axis and above the x-axis hence the x-value will be negative and y-value will be positive.

According to the given information P lies 7 grid lines to the left of y-axis.

i.e. it has x-value -7×0.2= -1.4

and 3 grid lines above the x-axis i.e. it has y-value:

y-value= 3×0.2=0.6

Hence, the coordinates of Point P are (-1.4,0.6).

Delia went to a market to buy 4.5 pounds of sliced fruit in a container she paid with a $20 bill and a $5 bill and received $4.6
andreyandreev [35.5K]
20+5=25 then 25-4.67=20.33 so then you do 20.33/4.5=4.5 so the cost for one pound of fruit is $4.57. Hope this helps :)

What do exponential functions model in the real world? How does the
sineoko [7]

They model various situations where there is an increasing curve. An example is if you throw a baseball and it curves back down as gravity has more and more of a affect on it. This would be a different equation than if you threw a basketball as the basketball wouldn't go as high but would have about the same downwards acceleration due to gravity.
