Total length of rope = 25 feet

Let us say one part of the rope is x, then the other part will be 25-x.

We are given that one section of the rope is four times as long as the other.

So let us make an equation using this information,

x=4(25-x)

x=100-4x

5x=100

x=20

So one part is 20 feet and the second part is 25-20= 5 feet.

Answer: The shorter part of the rope is 5 feet long.

Divide 50 into the ratio 1:4
Alex787 [66]
The answer is 10:40 
so 1:4
add it up
1+4=5

so 5 total units
$50=5 units
divide by 5
$10=1 unit

so 1:4=10:10 times 4=10:40

the answer is 10:40

Find the missing values assuming continuously compounded interest. (Round your answers to two decimal places.)
alexdok [17]

Answer:

<h2>$3448.81</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the compound interest formula to calculate the amount compounded after 10years.

A = P(1+r)^{nt}

P = principal  = $2000

r = rate (in %) = 5.6%

t = time (in years) = 10years

n = 1year = time used in compounding

A = 2000(1+0.056)^{10} \\A = 2000(1.056)^{10}\\A = 2000*1.7244046\\A = 3448.81 (to\  2dp)

Amount compounded after 10 years is $3448.81

plain why the function is discontinuous at the given number a. (Select all that apply.) f(x) = x2 − 2x x2 − 4 if x ≠ 2 1 if x =
ElenaW [278]

Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

f(x)=\left\{\begin{matrix}\dfrac{x^2-2x}{x^2-4}&,if\ \ x\neq 2 \\ 1&,if\ \ x=2\end{matrix}\right.

We have to explain that why the function is discontinuous at x=2

We know that if function is continuous at x=a then LHL=RHL=f(a).

f(x)=\frac{x(x-2)}{(x+2)(x-2)}=\frac{x}{x+2}

LHL=Left hand limit when x <2

Substitute x=2-h

where h is small positive value >0

\lim_{h\rightarrow 0}f(x)=\lim_{h\rightarrow 0}\frac{2-h}{2-h+2}

\lim_{h\rightarrow 0}\frac{2-h}{4-h}=\frac{2}{4}=\frac{1}{2}

Right hand limit =RHL when x> 2

Substitute

x=2+h

\lim_{h\rightarrow 0}f(x)=\lim_{h\rightarrow 0}\frac{2+h}{2+h+2}=\lim_{h\rightarrow 0}\frac{2+h}{4+h}

=\frac{2}{4}=\frac{1}{2}

LHL=RHL=\frac{1}{2}

f(2)=1

LHL=RHL\neq f(2)

Hence, function is discontinuous at x=2

Chris used 45 meters of fencing to enclose a circular garden. What is the approximate radius of the garden,rounded to the neares
kobusy [5.1K]
The length of the fencing corresponds to the length of the perimeter of the garden:
p=45 m
We also know that the perimeter of a circle is given by:
p=2 \pi r
where r is the radius of the circle.

Putting together the two equations, we have
2 \pi r = 45
from which we can find r, the radius of the garden:
r= \frac{45}{2 \pi}= \frac{45}{2 \cdot 3.14}=7.17 m
