Let's call the number we're looking for $y$ . We know that $y$ is twice as much as $x$ .

Twice as much as a number simply means the double of that number, and in turn the double of a number means to muliply that number by 2.

So, in order to obtain $y$ , you have to multply $x$ by 2. In formula, you have

$y = 2\cdot x$ or simply $y = 2x$

Answer:

14 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Focus on the triangle, and temporarily neglect the 2 ft measurement at the top of the triangle. Then the 2 legs of the triangle have lengths h - 2 ft and 5 ft, and the hypotenuse is 13.

Applying the Pythagorean Theorem, we get:

13^2 = (h - 2)^2 + 5^2, or

169 = h^2 - 4h + 4 + 25, or

144 = h^2 - 4h + 4, or

140 = h^2 - 4h, or, finally,

h^2 - 4h - 140 = 0. We must find the value of h.

I graphed this function on a calculator and found that -10 is a zero. Thus, the function factors into (h + 10)(h - 14) = 0, or h = 14.

The total height of the piece of plywood is 14 ft.

Check this: does a right triangle with legs (14 - 2) and 5 have a hypotenuse of 13? Yes.

Identify the relative maximum value of g(x) for the function shown below g(x)=7/x^2+5

Liula [17]

To find t<span>he relative maximum value of the function we need to find where the function has its first derivative equal to 0.

Its first derivative is -7*(2x)/(x^2+5)^2
</span>7*(2x)/(x^2+5)^2 =0 the numerator needs to be eqaul to 0
2x=0
x=0

g(0) = 7/5

The <span>relative maximum value is at the point (0, 7/5).</span>

Amount Financed: $2,650
Finance Charge: $484.69
Number of Payments: 36

(Finance Charge)/(Amount Financed)*100$=($484.69)/($2,650)*100$
(Finance Charge)/(Amount Financed)*100$=(0.1829)*100$
(Finance Charge)/(Amount Financed)*100$=$18.29

In the row of number of Payments 36, we look for:
(Finance Charge)/(Amount Financed)*100$=$18.29, and we see to which annual porcentage rate it corresponds in the first row

Answer: 11.25%

Explain the rules for multiplication and division to convert units. How do you know when to multiply and when to divide to conve

yanalaym [24]

Answer:

To convert larger units to smaller units, multiply. When the units are smaller, you need more of them to express the same measure. To convert smaller units to larger units, divide. When the units are larger, you need fewer of them to express the same measure.

Multiply to convert larger units to smaller units.

Divide to convert smaller units to larger units.

When the units are smaller, you need more of them to express the same measure.

When the units are larger, you need fewer of them to express the same measure.
