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

Question:

The circumference of a clock is 22 inches. What is the radius of the clock?

Answer:

Radius = 3.5 inches

Solution:

Shape of the clock is circle.

Circumference of the circle = 2πr

Circumference of a clock = 22 inches

$\Rightarrow2\pi r=22$

$$\Rightarrow2\times\frac{22}{7}\times r=22$

$$\Rightarrow\frac{44}{7}\times r=22$

$$\Rightarrow r=22\times \frac{7}{44}$

$$\Rightarrow r=\frac{7}{2}$

⇒ r = 3.5 inches

Hence the radius of the clock is 3.5 inches.

Find the vertex of this parabola:<br> y = -2x2 + 4x - 10

amm1812

The parabola equation in its vertex form is y = a(x-h)² + k , where:
a is the same as the a coefficient in the standard form;
h is the x-coordinate of the parabola vertex; and.
k is the y-coordinate of the parabola vertex.
that’s how you find it
