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

The values of w is inversely proportional to m .if w=8 then m=25; what is m when w=20?
iren2701 [21]

Answer:

m = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Given w is inversely proportional to m then the equation relating them is

w = \frac{k}{m} ← k is the constant of variation

To find k use the condition w = 8, m = 25 , then

8 = \frac{k}{25} ( multiply both sides by 25 )

200 = k

w = \frac{200}{m} ← equation of variation

When w = 20 , then

20 = \frac{200}{m} ( multiply both sides by m )

20m = 200 ( divide both sides by 20 )

m = 10

Evaluating a piece-wise function. 10 pts
kozerog [31]
1. Since -4 doesn’t equal -2, we will use the first function. All you have to do is plug in -4 to x, and you should get

-3

2. -2=-2, so we will use the second function to get the answer of

3

3. Once again we will be using the first function, so just plug 5 into the answer to get

-7.5

Hope this helped :)
