Let us assume that the number of pieces that can be cut = x
Length of each shelf board = 1 1/3 feet
                                   = 4/3 feet
Total length of board available for making shelf = 18 foot
Then
4x/3 = 18
4x = 18 * 3
4x = 54
x = 54/4
   = 13 2/4
As we can see from the above deduction, 13 shelf's can be made from the 18 foot board. There will be about 2/4th of the board remaining, but that 2/4th part will be wasted as it cannot create a complete board.I hope the answer is to your satisfaction and the explanation is clear to you.

The surface area, A, of a cylinder is given by the formula A = 2 Trh + 2nr, where ris the radius and h is the height
lord [1]

Answer:

Area = 87.9646  sq. units  from A = 28*π  sq. units.

However I cannot see this in your answer list, since the numbers look all jumbled.  Choice A. looks close to it, since there is a 28...

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a cylinder with height h = 5

radius = 2

We want the surface area of this cylinder.

A = (circumference)*h  + 2*(pi)*r^2

A = ( 4*π)*5   + 2*π*(2^2)

A = 20π + 8π  =  28 π   square units

A = 87.9646 sq.. units

How do you find the general solution for cos2A=cos^2A
eduard

Answer:

A =  0 +/- nπ radians ,  where n is an integer.

Step-by-step explanation:

cos 2A =  cos^2 A

Use the identity cos 2A = 2 cos^2 A -1  :

2cos^2 A - 1 = cos^2 A

cos^2 A = 1

Cos A = +/-1

When cos A = 1,  A = 0 +/- 2nπ radians.

when cos A = -1, A = π +/- nπ radians.

A sequence is defined recursively using the formula f(n+1)=-0.5f(n). If the first term of the sequence is 120, what is f(5)?
kumpel [21]
<u><em>Answer:</em></u>
f (5) = 7.5

<u><em>Explanation:</em></u>
<u>The function given is:</u>
f (n+1) = -0.5 f (n)

<u>We are also given that:</u>
first term is 120
<u>This means that:</u>
f (1) = 120

<u>We will get the other terms by substitution as follows:</u>
f (2) = -0.5 f (1) = -0.5(120) = -60
f (3) = -0.5 f(2) = -0.5(60) = 30
f (4) = -0.5 f(3) = -0.5(30) = -15
f (5) = -0.5 f(4) = -0.5(-15) = 7.5

Therefore, f (5) = 7.5

Hope this helps :)
