Given:

The temperature is given in Fahrenheit (13 degree F).

To Find:

The correct temperature in Celsius.

Answer:

The temperature in Celsius is approximately -11 degree C.

Kyle has got an incorrect answer because instead of subtracting 32 form the temperature, he has added it.

Step-by-step explanation:

Any temperature can be changed from F to C by using the formula

C=(\frac{5}{9})(F-32)\\\\C=\frac{5(F-32)}{9}

So, we will convert the given temperature in F to C by performing three simple steps.

Step 1 - We will subtract 32 from the Fahrenheit temperature.

Step 2 - Multiply this number by 5.

Step 3 - Divide the resulting number by 9.

So,

Step 1: 13-32 = -19

Step 2: -19*5 = -95

Step 3: -95/9 = -10.55 approx

Thus, the temperature in Celsius is approximately -11 degree C.

Kyle has got an incorrect answer because instead of subtracting 32 form the temperature, he has added it.

The perimeter of a rectangle is 24 m. The length is 30 m less than five times the width. Find the dimensions of the rectangle. L
Len [333]

Answer:

<h2>width = 7 m</h2><h2>length = 5 m</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of a rectangle = 2l + 2w

where

l is the length

w is the width

From the question

Perimeter = 24m

The statement

The length is 30 m less than five times the width is written as

l = 5w - 30

Substitute the expression into the above formula and solve for the width

That's

24 = 2( 5w - 30) + 2w

24 = 10w - 60 + 2w

84 = 12w

Divide both sides by 12

w = 7

Substitute this value into l = 5w - 30

That's

l = 5(7) - 30

l = 35 - 30

l = 5

Therefore the dimensions are

width = 7 m

length = 5 m

Hope this helps you

F(x)=2x^3+2x-3 g(x)=-.5[x-4] what is the y value when f(x) = g(x)?
Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

D. x = 0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

A graphing calculator is the quickest way to get to an answer here.

 f(x) = g(x) for x = 0.5

__

We can find the y-intercepts of the two functions to be ...

 f(0) = -3

 g(0) = -2

We know the x-intercept of g(x) is x=4. The x-intercept of f(x) will be a value less than 1, because f(1) = 1. (The function crosses the x-axis between x=0 where f(x) < 0 and x=1, where f(x) > 0.)

Considering these intercept points, we know the value of x for f(x)=g(x) will be between x=0 and x=1. There is only one answer choice in that interval:

 x = 0.5
