Answer: AC will also be doubled.

Step-by-step explanation: Given that point B lie between A and C on AC. AB is doubled and BC is also doubled.

We are to find the effect on AC.

Let us consider that

AB = x and BC = y ⇒ AC = AB + BC = x + y.

Then, being doubled, we get

AB = 2x and BC = 2y.

Therefore, we get

$AC=AB+BC=2x+2y=2(x+y).$

Thus, AC will also get doubled.

A box is launched upward from the ground at a speed of 57 feet per second. Calculate the height in feet of the box at 3 seconds.

expeople1 [14]

The vertical height traveled is given by
h = ut +- (1/2)g*t^2
where
u = 57 ft/s, initial speed
t = tme, s
g = 32 ft/s^2

After 3 seconds,
h = (57 ft/s)*(3 s) - (1/2)*(32 ft/s^2)*(3 s)^2
= 171 - 144
= 27 ft

Answer: 27 ft

What would the variables for a and b be? 3/x + 5/x^2 = (ax+b)/x^2

allsm [11]

Answer:

a=3,b=5

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{3}{x} + \frac{5}{ {x}^{2} } \\ = \frac{3x}{ {x}^{2} } + \frac{5}{ {x}^{2} } \\ = \frac{3x + 5}{ {x}^{2} }$

so as you got it:

$\frac{(ax + b)}{ {x}^{2} } = \frac{3x + 5}{ {x}^{2} } \\ a = 3 \\ b = 5$
