Answer:

6 pieces

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of the whole piece of wood =12 \dfrac{1}{8} feet

The length of each small piece of wood =1 \dfrac{13}{16} feet

Find the number of pieces that can be cut:

12\dfrac{1}{8}:1\dfrac{13}{16}\\ \\=\dfrac{12\cdot 8+1}{8}:\dfrac{1\cdot 16+13}{16}\\ \\=\dfrac{97}{8}:\dfrac{29}{16}\\ \\=\dfrac{97}{8}\cdot \dfrac{16}{29}\\ \\=\dfrac{97\cdot 2}{29}\\ \\=\dfrac{194}{29}\\ \\=6\dfrac{20}{29}

Therefore, 6 pieces of wood can be cut.

The perimeter of a square is 4 times greater than the length of any of its sides. Is the perimeter of the square proportional to
7nadin3 [17]
Yes, the perimeter of a square is ALWAYS four times the length of one of its sides; so the perimeter is proportional to the square's side length.

The position function of a particle in rectilinear motion is given by s(t) = 2t^3 + 21t^2 + 60t + 3 for t ≥ 0 with t measured in
natta225 [31]
As the fellow above said, the particle does make a U-turn at the vertex, and we can find that out by getting the derivative of s(t) and zeroing it out to get the point of the horizontal tangent.

Bearing in mind that ds/dt is really v(t) or the velocity equation, so when we zero out the ds/dt, is the same as saying the velocity went to 0, since it got zeroed out, and then the particle goes over the vertex and changes direction.

\bf s(t)=2t^3-21t^2+60t+3\implies \boxed{\cfrac{ds}{dt}=6t^2-42t+60}\leftarrow v(t)
\\\\\\
0=6t^2-42t+60\implies 0=t^2-7t+10\implies 0=(t-5)(t-2)
\\\\\\
t=
\begin{cases}
5\\
2
\end{cases}\impliedby \textit{it makes the first turn at the \underline{2 second}}
\\\\\\
\textit{now let's find the acceleration equation, a(t)}
\\\\\\
\boxed{\cfrac{d^2s}{dt^2}=12t-42}\leftarrow a(t)\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
s(2)=55\qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad a(2)=-18

the negative acceleration value, simply means a decreasing rate of change, so, it means the particle is slowing down and possibly coming to a stop before changing direction again.

slavikrds [6]

It is given in the question that

A prom ticket at Valley high school cost $160. Bryan is going to save money for his ticket by walking his neighbor’s dog for $21 per week. Bryan has already has saved $35.

Let the number of weeks be x

And sum of saved money and his earning in x weeks must be greater than or equal to 160.

That is

35+21x\geq160
