Answer:

Jess used 40 blocks in total.

Step-by-step explanation:

First stack: 8 blocks

Second stack: First stack + 4 = 8 + 4 = 12 blocks

Third stack: Second stack + 8 = 12 + 8 = 20 blocks

Total number of blocks: First stack + Second stack + Third stack = 8 + 12 + 20 = 40 blocks

Write the extreme and middle terms of 5 : 80 :: 4 :64
Stells [14]

Answer:

The extremes are 5 and 64.

The middle terms are 80 and 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the proportion:

5 : 80 :: 4 :64

To find:

The extreme and middle terms of the given proportion.

Solution:

The given statement is in proportion if and only if the product of extremes i.e. the numbers at both the ends is equal to the product of middle numbers.

OR

First number \times Fourth number = Second number \times Third number

First of all, let us check the two products.

5 \times 64 = 320

And the second product:

80 \times 4 = 320

The product is same therefore, the given numbers are in proportion.

The extreme terms are the first and the fourth numbers.

i.e. The extremes are 5 and 64.

The middle terms are 80 and 4.

Answer:

13 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagonal of a rectangle forms a right triangle; where the diagonal is a hypotenuse, and two sides of the rectangle are legs.

Using pythagorean's theorem (a^2 + b^2 = c^2), we can say:

5^2 + 12^2 = c^2\\25 + 144 = c^2\\169 = c^2\\13 = c

The hypotenuse is equal to 13cm.

Find all of the critical points of p (t). p (t) = t 2 + 5t + 6.
svp [43]

Please, use " ^ " to denote exponentiation: p(t) = t^2 + 5t + 6.

To find the critical points, differentiate p(t) with respect to t, set the result = to 0, and then solve the resulting equation for t:

p '(t) = 2t + 5 = 0

Solving for t: 2t = -5, and so t = -5/2. (-5/2, p(-5/2)) is the critical point. That evaluates to (-5/2, -0.25). This happens to be the vertex of a parabola that opens up.

What is the solution set to the following system?<br> X+y=4<br> X^2+y^2=16
faltersainse [42]
X+y = 4,  -----> y=4 - x
x² +(4-x)² =16
x² +16-2*4x+x² =16
 2x² - 8x = 0
x(2x-8) = 0
2x-4=0, 2x=8, x=4
x=0 or x=4

If x=0, y=4-x=4-0=4.
If x=4, y= 4-x=4-4=0.

(0,4) or (4,0)

Check
x² +y² =16
For (0,4) 
0²+4² =16
16 =16    True

For (4,0)
4² +0²=16
16=16  True 

Answer (0, 4) and (4,0).
