Answer:

Width=6.5 cm

Length=12 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Express the lengths and widths

Width=w

Length=l, but 1 cm less than twice the width=(2×w)-1=2 w-1

Step 2: Solve for the length and width

A=L×W

where;

A=area of the photograph

L=length of the photograph

W=width of the photograph

In our case;

A=91 cm²

L=2 w-1

W=w

91=(2 w-1)w

2 w²-w=91

2 w²-w-91=0, is a quadratic equation

solve for w

w={-1±√(-1²-4×2×-91)}/(2×2)

w=(-1±27)/4

w=(27-1)/4=6.5, or (-1-27)/4=-8

Take w=6.5 cm

L=(2×6.5)-1=13-1=12 cm

Width=6.5 cm

Length=12 cm

Answer:

$2.17 \times 10^{-1}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$(7 \times 10 ^{-6}) + 0.26 - (5 \times 10^{-2}) = \frac{7}{10^3} + \frac{26}{10^2}-\frac{5}{10^2}$

$= \frac{7 + (26 \times 10) - ( 5 \times 10)}{10^3}\\\\=\frac{7 + 260 - 50 }{10^3}\\\\=\frac{217}{10^3}\\\\= 2.17 \times 10^2 \times 10^{-3}\\\\= 2.17 \times 10^{-1}$

Which graph represents the function on the interval [-3,3] <br> F(x)=[x]-2

julia-pushkina [17]

<h2>Answer:</h2>

Shown below

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

The most famous of the step functions is the greatest integer function, which is denoted by the parent function $[x]$ .

So, this function is defined as:

$f(x)=[x] \ the \ greatest \ integer \ less \ than \ or \ equal \ to \ x$ .

These are the characteristics of this function:

The domain of the function is the set of all real numbers.
The range of the function is the set of all integers.
The graph has a $y-intercept$ at $(0,0)$ and $x-intercept$ in the interval $[0,1)$
The graph is constant between each pair of consecutive integers.
The graph jumps vertically one unit at each integer value.

The function $F(x)=[x]-2$ represents the parent function shifted 2 units downward. Therefore, the correct option has been chosen in the attached figure.
