You have been asked to build a scale model of your school out of toothpicks. imagine your school is 30 feet tall. your scale is

1 ft:1.26 cm. if a toothpick is 6.3 cm tall, how many toothpicks tall will your model be? the model will be 6 toothpicks tall. your mother is out of toothpicks, and suggests you use cotton swabs instead. you measure them, and they are 7.7 cm tall. how many cotton swabs tall will your model be? if necessary, round your answer to the nearest whole number

Since your scale is 1ft:1.26cm, a 30-ft tall school would need to have a 30*1.26=37.8 cm model. Dividing this by how tall each toothpick is, you'll get:

\frac{37.8}{6.3} =6

ANSWER: The model would be 6 toothpicks tall.

To find out how many cotton swabs you'll need, we just divide 37.8 by how tall each swab is:

\frac{37.8}{7.7} =5

ANSWER: The model would be 5 cotton swabs tall.

For f(x)=2x+1 and g(x)=x^2-7, find (f+g)(x) A. 2x^2-15 B.X^2+2x-6 C.2x^3-6 D.x^2+2x+8
Advocard [28]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

(f + g)(x) = f(x) + g(x) , thus

f(x) + g(x)

= 2x + 1 + x² - 7 ← collect like terms

= x² + 2x - 6 → C

You are having a conference call with the CEO of a paper company. You have interpreted the number of trees cut down versus profi
loris [4]
You can only cut down a integer number of trees. So you might look at a few integer values for x. As x get large the –x4 term dominates the expression for big losses. x = 0 is easy P(x) = -6. Without cutting any trees you have lost money Put x = 1 and you get for the terms in order  -1 + 1 + 7 -1 -6 = 0. So P(x) crosses zero just before you cut the first tree. So you make a profit on only 1 tree. However when x=10 you are back into no profit. So compute a few values for x = 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9.
