The 250 cm board is cut into 5 pieces.
since three short pieces are of equal length, lets name each piece as 'x'
the longer ones are 15 cm longer than shorter ones so we can name them as 'x +15'
the sum of these pieces are 250
x + x + x + (x+15) + (x + 15) = 250
3x + 2x + 30 = 250
5x = 250 - 30
5x = 220
x = 44 cm
length of a short piece - 44 cm
length of long piece - 44 + 15 = 59 cm

If a person rows to this favorite fishing spot 17 miles downstream in the same amount of the time he rows 1 mile upstream and if
makvit [3.9K]

We use the formula : Displacement = Average Velocity * Time ;
17 = ( v + 8 ) * t ;
1 =  ( v - 8 ) * t ;
where v = the velocity of the boat; t is the time from expression " ... in the same amount of the time he rows ....."

Then 17 / 1 = (v + 8) / ( v - 8 ) ;
v + 8 = 17( v - 8 );
v + 8  = 17v - 136 ;
144 = 16v ;
v = 144 / 16;
v = 9 mph ;

18 = 9 * x ;
x = 18 / 9 ;
x = 2 hours ;

The answer is 2 hours ;

E + 1 13/16 = 2 5/16
Burka [1]

e + 1 13/16 = 2 5/16

subtract 1 13/16 from each side

e = 2 5/16 - 1 13/16

borrow from the 2

e = 1 16/16 + 5 /16 - 1 13/16

e = 1 21/16-1 13/16

e = 1 8 /16

e = 1 1/2

Let g(x)= -3x and h(x) x^2+3 Find (g°h)(0)
raketka [301]
<h3>Answer is   -9</h3>

=================================

Work Shown:

(g°h)(x) is the same as g(h(x))

So, (g°h)(0) = g(h(0))

Effectively h(x) is the input to g(x). Let's first find h(0)

h(x) = x^2+3

h(0) = 0^2+3

h(0) = 3

So g(h(x)) becomes g(h(0)) after we replace x with 0, then it updates to g(3) when we replace h(0) with 3.

Now let's find g(3)

g(x) = -3x

g(3) = -3*3

g(3) = -9

-------

alternatively, you can plug h(x) algebraically into the g(x) function

g(x) = -3x

g( h(x) ) = -3*( h(x) ) ... replace all x terms with h(x)

g( h(x) ) = -3*(x^2 + 3) ... replace h(x) on right side with x^2+3

g( h(x) ) = -3x^2 - 9

Next we can plug in x = 0

g( h(0) )  = -3(0)^2 - 9

g( h(0) ) = -9

we get the same result.
