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.

Select the two values of x that are roots of this equation x^2-5x+2=0
Nataly [62]

The roots of the equation is x = 4.56 OR x = 0.44

<h3>Quadratic equation</h3>

From the question, we are to determine the roots of the given equation

The given equation is

x² -5x +2 = 0

Using the formula method,

x =\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^{2}-4ac } }{2a}

In the given equation,

a = 1, b = -5, c = 2

Putting the values into the formula,

x =\frac{-(-5) \pm \sqrt{(-5)^{2}-4(1)(2) } }{2(1)}

x =\frac{5 \pm \sqrt{25-8} }{2}

x =\frac{5 \pm \sqrt{17} }{2}

x =\frac{5 + \sqrt{17} }{2} OR x =\frac{5 - \sqrt{17} }{2}

x =\frac{5 + 4.12}{2} OR x =\frac{5 - 4.12}{2}

x =\frac{9.12}{2} OR x =\frac{0.88}{2}

x = 4.56 OR x = 0.44

Hence, the roots of the equation is x = 4.56 OR x = 0.44

A rectangular prism has a length of 714 inches, a width of 612 inches, and a height of 10 inches.
den301095 [7]

Answer:

  • 8 times

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>The volume of the prism:</u>

  • V = lwh

<u>If each of the dimensions is doubled, then the volume becomes:</u>

  • V₁ = 2l*2w*2h = 8lwh = 8V

The larger prism has 8 times greater volume

Select all of the given trigonometric equations that are true statements. sin(180°) = cos(0°) cos(74°) = sin(16°) sin(20°) = cos
lara [203]

Answer:

Cos 74°= Sin 16°

Sin 20°= Cos 70°

Sin A°=Cos (90°- A°)

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because the three pairs are complementary i.e they add up to 90° and in trigonometric ratios, complementary ratios are equal.
