x = the length of one piece

y = the length of the other piece


the total length is 100 cm this means 


x + y = 100


one piece is 16 inches longer than the other


first we need to convert inches to cm: 


1 in = 2.54 cm

16 in = 2.54*16 = 40.64


now we can write


x = y + 40.64


by solving the system of equations


x + y = 100

x = y + 40.64


we find


x = 70.32 cm


y = 29.68 cm


the lengths of the two pieces are 70.32 cm and 29.68 cm.

Stella [2.4K]

Based on the calculations, the interest rate on the stock in four (4) years is equal to 7.1%.

<u>Given the following data:</u>

Amount borrowed (Principal) = $22,000.

Simple interest, I = $78.40.

Time = 4 year.

To determine the interest rate on the stock in four (4) years:

<h3>How to calculate simple interest?</h3>

Mathematically, simple interest can be calculated by using this formula:

I = PRT

<u>Where:</u>

  • S.I is the simple interest.
  • P is the principal or starting amount.
  • R is the interest rate.
  • T is the time measured in years.

Making R the subject of formula, we have:

R = I/PT

Substituting the given parameters into the formula, we have;

R = 6260/(22,000 × 4)

R = 6260/(88,000)

Interest rate = 0.071 = 7.1%.

· f(x)= x2 - 49<br> Identify the number of zeros of the polynomial function
Dominik [7]

Answer:

x = -7, x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, you are going to set the equation to 0, and then factor it.

Set equation to 0 -----> f(x)= x^2 - 49 will become x^2 - 49 = 0

Now, you're going to factor the equation.

You'll get (x-7) (x+7) upon factoring.

Thirdly, you will set (x-7)(x+7) equal to 0 and also solve for x.

Keep in mind that you'll be treating them as two separate equations

So, ----> (x-7) = 0 (x+7) = 0

When you solve for the x, you'll find out that x is equal to 7 and -7 ---> these are your zeros.
