Answer:

Hey, Dalilah. I hope I'm not too late, but the answer is (3,5).

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to use the equation that includes the x value of 3.

4x+1 only includes x values that are less than 3.

2x-1 includes x values that are greater than or equal to 3.

I plugged 3 into both of these equations (4x+1; x < 3 & 2x-1; x ≥ 3) in order to see which equation would've been true.

4(3)+1 = 13; 13 < 3 [False] 13 isn't less than 3 -- and 2(3)-1 = 5; 5 ≥ 3 [True] 5 is greater than or equal to 3.

Since the equation 2(3)-1; 5≥3 is true, you should use this equation. I used Demos in order to graph Y=2(3)-1. At the bottom of that I put x=3, and it showed me (3,5).

I'll post the pictures for proof and better clarification if this is confusing, love.

Answer: 6 ft ^ 2

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that a piece of carpet is 8 feet wide and 12 feet long. The carpet needs to be reduced by a scale factor so that the reduced carpet is 2 feet wide.

First of all, let us find the scale factor by which the width of the carpet has been reduced.

Original width of carpet x scale factor = 12

Dividing both sides by 8 feet we will get:

8 feet x Scale factor/8 ft = 2/8 ft

Scale Factor = 1/4

Let us find the length of carpet after reduced by a scale factor of 1/4.

Length of the carpet after reducing a factor of 1/4=12 ft x 1/4

Length of the carpet after reducing a factor of 1/4=3 ft.

Now we will multiply the reduced length and width of the carpet to find the area of reduced carpet.

Area of reduced carpet = 2 ft x 3 ft

Area of reduced carpet = 6 ft

Therefore, the area of reduced carpet is 6 square feet.
