Answer: the length of Maria's piece of string is 45 inches.

the length of Katy's piece of string is 39 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the length of Maria's piece of string.

Let y represent the length of Katy's piece of string.

When they put the two pieces of string together end to end, the total length is 84inches. This means that

x + y = 84 - - - - - - - - - - - -1

Maria's string is 6 inches longer than Katy's. This means that

x = y + 6

Substituting x = y + 6 into equation 1, it becomes

y + 6 + y = 84

2y + 6 = 84

2y = 84 - 6 = 78

y = 78/2 = 39

x = y + 6 = 39 + 6

x = 45

\frac{x^4+3x^3-2x^2+4}{x-2}=x^3+5x^2+8x+16+\frac{36}{x-2}

Step-by-step explanation:

we are given

divisor is

=x^4+3x^3-2x^2+4

Dividend is

=x-2

so, we can use synthetic division

so, we can write our expression as

\frac{x^4+3x^3-2x^2+4}{x-2}=x^3+5x^2+8x+16+\frac{36}{x-2}

so,

What numbers multiply to equal -9 but add up to 12?
Elan Coil [88]
I don't think this is possible.

The factors of -9 are:
-1 x 9
-9 x 1
-3 x 3

And when you add them together you get:
-1 + 9 = 8
-9 + 1 = -8
-3 + 3 = 0

Sorry but there is not an answer. :(

Gnoma [55]
      C = 2πr      Divide both sides by 2π
C/2π = r           Switch the sides to make it easier to read
       r = c / 2π
