Answer:

Length of other board =\frac{4x+20}{x^{2} -4} metres

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Length of board = \frac{7}{x-2} metres

Length of board was divided into two.

Length of one piece = \frac{3}{x+2} metres

Let l = length of the other board

Length of the other board = Length of board - Length of one piece

So, l=\frac{7}{x-2}-\frac{3}{x+2}

l=\frac{7(x+2)-3(x-2)}{(x-2)(x+2)} \\\\l=\frac{7x+14-3x+6}{x^{2} -4} \\\\l=\frac{4x+20}{x^{2} -4}

Thus, length of the other board =\frac{4x+20}{x^{2} -4} metres

How many eighth graders chose History as their favorite subject. Round answer to the nearest whole number.
Elenna [48]

The percentage of eighth-graders that chose History as their favorite subject is 19%

<h3>Percentages and proportion</h3>

From the given table, we have the following parameters

Total students in the 8th grade = 124 students

Total number of 8th graders that chose history = 11 + 12

Total number of 8th graders that chose history = 23

Required percentage = 23/124 * 100

Required percentage = 19%

Hence the percentage of eighth-graders that chose History as their favorite subject is 19%

I need help understanding ratios and how they can be equivalent to each other
mart [117]
Ratios are the quantitative relation between two amounts showing the number of times one value contains or is contained within the other.

Equivalent ratios are like equivalent fractions, if they are the same value they are equivalent.

For example, to find two ratios that are equal to 1:7, first write 1:7 as the fraction 1/7.

Use linear approximation to estimate f (2.85 )given that f (3 )equals 2 and f prime (3 )equals 5.
Allisa [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

f(3) = 2

f'(3) = 5.

We want to estimate f(2.85)

The linear approximation of "f" at "a" is one way of writing the equation of the tangent line at "a".

At x = a, y = f(a) and the slope of the tangent line is f'(a).

So, in point slope form, the tangent line has equation

y − f(a) = f'(a)(x − a)

The linearization solves for y by adding f(a) to both sides

f(x) = f(a) + f'(a)(x − a).

Given that,

f(3) = 2,

f'(3) = 5

a = 3, we want to find f(2.85)

x = 2.85

Therefore,

f(x) = f(a) + f'(a)(x − a)

f(2.85) = 2 + 5(2.85 - 3)

f(2.85) = 2 + 5×-0.15

f(2.85) = 2 - 0.75

f(2.85) = 1.25
