Answer:

The answer to your question is:  first piece = 4 in, second piece = 8 in, third piece = 12 in

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

total length = 24 inches

first piece = x in

second piece = 2x

third piece = 3x

Equation

               x + 2x + 3x = 24

               6x = 24

               x = 24/6

               x = 4               length of the first piece

second piece = 2(4) = 8 inches

third piece = 3(4) = 12 inches

Answer:

  1. 4 in
  2. 8 in
  3. 12 in

Step-by-step explanation:

The total length of the three pieces is ...

  x + 2x + 3x = 24 . . . . inches

  6x = 24 . . . . . . . . . . . collect terms

  x = 4 . . . . . the length in inches of the first piece

  2x = 8 . . . . the length in inches of the second piece

  3x = 12 . . . . the length in inches of the third piece

Which of these is the standard form of the following function?
Nady [450]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

f(x) = - 9(x + 5)² + 4 ← expand parenthesis using FOIL

     = - 9(x² + 10x + 25) + 4 ← distribute parenthesis by - 9

     = - 9x² - 90x - 225 + 4 ← collect like terms

     = - 9x² - 90x - 221 ← in standard form

Which equation results from taking the square root of both sides of (x 9)2 = 25? x 3 = ±5 x 3 = ±25 x 9 = ±5 x 9 = ±25.
kow [346]

The equation which is results from taking the square root of both sides of the provided equation is,

(x+9)=\pm5\\

<h3>What is the square root?</h3>

A square root of a number is the value which is when multiplicand by itself gives the same value as the number posses.

Let a number is <em>a. </em>Then this number in the form of square root can be written as,

a=\sqrt{a}\times \sqrt{a}

The given algebraic equation in the problem is,

(x+ 9)^2 = 25

Take the square root, in both sides,

\sqrt{(x+ 9)^2} = \sqrt{25}\\\sqrt{(x+ 9)^2} = \sqrt{5^2}

Cancel out the square root with the square of the number as,

(x+9)=\pm5\\

Hence, the equation which is results from taking the square root of both sides of the provided equation is,

(x+9)=\pm5\\
