A 47-foot-long piece of pipe is to be cut into three pieces. The second piece is three times as long as the first piece, and the

third piece is two feet more than five times the length of the first piece. What is the length of the longest piece?

A = first piece, b = second piece, c = third piece

a + b + c = 47
b = 3a
c = 5a + 2

a + (3a) + (5a + 2) = 47.....combine like terms
9a + 2 = 47
9a = 47 - 2
9a = 45
a = 45/9
a = 5 ft

b = 3a.....b = 3(5)....b = 15 ft
c = 5a + 2....c = 5(5) + 2.....c = 25 + 2....c = 27 ft

longest piece (c) = 27 ft

1. Write the following in exponential form and as a multiplication sentence using only 10 as a factor
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

1. a. 1,000 = 10³ = 10 × 10 × 10

b. 100 × 100 = 10² × 10² = 10 × 10 × 10 × 10

2. a. 3 × 10² = 300

b. 2.16 × 10⁴ = 21,600

c. 800 ÷ 10³ = 0.8

d. 754.2 ÷ 10² = 7.542

Step-by-step explanation:

3. a. 1,000

There are 3 zeros in 1000. This is equivalent to 10 raised to the power of 3. Writing this in multiplication sentence using 19 as the only factor, we would have:

1,000 = 10³ = 10 × 10 × 10

b. 100 × 100

Using the same logic as explained in (a) above, we would have:

100 × 100 = 10² × 10² = 10 × 10 × 10 × 10

2. a. 3 × 10²

Convert 10² to 100 and multiply both numbers

3 × 10² = 3 × 10 × 10 = 3 × 100 = 300

b. 2.16 × 10⁴

2.16 × 10 × 10 × 10 × 10 = 2.16 × 10,000

Multiplying both numbers, since we have 4 zeros, move the decimal point 4 places to the right.

2.16 × 10,000 = 21,600

c. 800 ÷ 10³ = 800 ÷ 10 × 10 × 10

800 ÷ 1,000

There are 3 zeros in 1000, since we are dividing, move the decimal point 3 places to the left.

800 ÷ 1,000 = 0.8

d. 754.2 ÷ 10² = 754.2 ÷ 10 × 10

754.2 ÷ 100

Move the decimal point 2 places to the left.

754.2 ÷ 100 = 7.542

The function H(t) = −16t2 + 60t + 95 shows the height H(t), in feet, of a projectile after t seconds. A second object moves in t
Dimas [21]
H(t) = -16t² + 60t + 95
g(t) = 20 + 38.7t

h(1) = -16(1²) + 60(1) + 95 = -16 + 60 + 95 = -16 + 155 = 139
h(2) = -16(2²) + 60(2) + 95 = -16(4) + 120 + 95 = -64 + 215 = 151
h(3) = -16(3²) + 60(3) + 95 = -16(9) + 180 + 95 = -144 + 275 = 131
h(4) = -16(4²) + 60(4) + 95 = -16(16) + 240 + 95 = -256 + 335 = 79

g(1) = 20 + 38.7(1) = 20 + 38.7 = 58.7
g(2) = 20 + 38.7(2) = 20 + 77.4 = 97.4
g(3) = 20 + 38.7(3) = 20 + 116.1 = 136.1
g(4) = 20 + 38.7(4) = 20 + 154.8 = 174.8

Between 2 and 3 seconds. 
The range of the 1st object is 151 to 131.
The range of the 2nd object is 97.4 to 136.1

h(t) = g(t) ⇒ 131 = 131

It means that the point where the 2 objects are equal is the point where the 1st object is falling down while the 2nd object is still going up.
