Since area is length times width, you can divide 8 1/2 by 3 2/5 to get the length. 8.5/3.2=2.65625 feet

Answer:

2 1/2 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Area is given by the formula

A = l*w

We know the area is 8 1/2  

Changing this to an improper fraction  8 1/2 = (2*8 +1)/2 = 17/2

The width is 3 2/5  as an improper fraction  = (5*3+2)/5 = 17/5

A = l*w

17/2 = l* 17/5

Multiply each side by 5/17

17/2 * 5/17 = l* 17/5 * 5/17

5/2 = l

2 1/2 = l

For the function f(x) = x2 ­ -12, find (f o f­-1)(4) A. 0 B. 4 C. 10 D. 6
slega [8]

We actually don't need to do any computation. By definition, the inverse function f^{-1} changes the role of input and output. So, if a function f maps x onto y, the inverse function maps y onto x.

You have to think like this: if the function makes a step further, the inverse function makes that same step back.

This means that the composition f \circ f^{-1} is always the identity function f(x) = x. In fact,

(f\circ f^{-1})(x) = f(f^{-1}(x)) = x

So, for every function, you have

(f\circ f^{-1})(4) = f(f^{-1}(4)) = 4

BartSMP [9]

Answer:

x -y =4

Step-by-step explanation:

First find the slope

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

   = (1- -4)/(5 - 0)

    = (1+4)/(5-0)

   5/5

   = 1

Then we can use slope intercept form

The slope is 1 and the y intercept is -4

y = mx+b

y = 1x-4

We want it in standard form

Ax + By = C where A is a positive integer

Subtract x from each side

-x +y = -4

Multiply by -1

x -y =4

50 points!!!!! Please!!!!! Sandra and Jenny spend a certain amount of money from their money box each month to buy plants. The t
nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

A) Function 2 shows a greater rate of change because Jenny spends $6 each month and Sandra spends $5 each month.

Step-by-step explanation:

The y-intercept for Sandra is 55 and the slope is -5. While Jenny's y-intercept is 50 and slope is -6.

6 is a greater number therefore causing Jenny's slope to decrease faster causing her to have less money at a much faster rate. (rate of change=slope) Jeny's slope is decreasing at a faster rate of change because she is spending more money everyday than Sandra is.

Hope this helps! Have a great day! :)

Solve -1 3/8 K equals 2/3
guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

  K = -16/33

Step-by-step explanation:

For a problem like this, it is convenient to write the mixed number as an improper fraction:

  -11/8 K = 2/3

Now, multiply the equation by the reciprocal of the coefficient of K.

  K = (-8/11)(2/3)

  K = -16/33

What is the sum of the series? Write in expanded form making sure to show all steps used to find the sum
pantera1 [17]

Answer:

-16

Step-by-step explanation:

k = 3

-2(3) + 5 = -1

k = 4

-2(4) + 5 = -3

k = 5

-2(5) + 5 = -5

k = 6

-2(6) + 5 = -7

(-1) + (-3) + (-5) + (-7)

= -16
