John says that 0.5y for y=1.4 is 0.7 Is he correct? Explain. 17 points

John is correct because 0.5 is equal to one half and multiplying something by its half is just same as dividing something in two and half of 1.4 is 0.5

a flat for sale sign has a perimeter of 58 inches. the length is 5 inches longer than the width. what is the width?

timofeeve [1]

Answer:

25 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Information that is needed to solve the problem;

The formula for the perimeter is:

2(a+b) = P

where "a" is the length and "b" is the width.

2. Solving the problem;

Substitute the given values into the formula;

2( 5 + b ) = 58

Inverse operations;

2 ( 5 + b ) = 58

/2 /2

5 + b = 29

-5 -5

b = 25

Given the values of the linear functions f (x) and g(x) in the tables, where is (f – g)(x) positive?

LuckyWell [14K]

From the tables, and definitions of functions, it is found that the function (f - g)(x) is positive in the interval (–∞, –2).

--------------------

The function (f - g)(x) is given by: $(f - g)(x) = f(x) - g(x)$
Thus, it will be positive if: $f(x) > g(x)$
Looking at the table, and considering that it is a linear function, we have that f(x) > g(x) if x < -2.
Thus, (f - g)(x) is positive in the interval (–∞, –2).
