Answer:

7/6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call the height of Jenny H. Then, we have that:

Height of Sally = (7/8)*H

Height of May = (6/8)*H

To compare the height of Sally and May, we just need to divide them:

Height of Sally / Height of May = (7/8)*H / (6/8)*H

= (7/8) / (6/8) = (7/8) * (8/6) = 7/6

So Sally is 7/6 times higher than May.

1. Jemima wants to make chocolate chip walnut brownles. Chocolate chips come in a 12oz bag that costs $3. Walnuts
fomenos

Answer:

4 bags of chocolate chips and 1 bag of walnuts.

Step-by-step explanation:

Find how many ounces are in 3 pounds:

16 oz = 1 lb

16 oz × 3 = 3 lbs

48 oz = 3 lbs

Variable x = number of chocolate chips

Variable y = number of walnuts

4x + 1y = 15

Keep in mind it must equal up to 48 oz and be $15 or under.

4 bags × 12 oz = 48 oz

1 bag × 4 oz = 4 oz

48 oz + 4 oz = 52 oz > 48 oz

4 bags × $3 = $12

1 bag × $2 = $2

$12 + $2 = $14 < $15

Both requirements have been met.

If f(x)=sinx−1/cos2x, then limx→π2f(x) is equivalent to which of the following?
Harrizon [31]

Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given g(x) = sin(x)-1/cos2(x), we are to find the limit if the function g(x) as g(x) tends to π/2

Substituting π/2 into the function

lim x-->π/2 sin(x)-1/cos 2(x)

= sin(π/2) - 1/cos(2)(π/2)

= 1 - 1/cosπ

= 1- 1/-1

= 1 -(-1)

= 1+1

= 2

Hence the limit of the function h(x) = sin(x)-1/cos2(x) as x--> π/2 is 2

Consider the function y = -2-3cos (x+pi). What effect does the -2 have on the basic graph
Elenna [48]

ANSWER

-2 shift the graph of the basic function down by 2 units.

EXPLANATION

The given cosine function is:

y =  - 2 - 3 \cos(x + \pi)

This equation can be rewritten as:

y =  - 3 \cos(x + \pi)  +  - 2

We compare this to

y = a \cos(bx + c)  + d

The effect d has on the graph is that, it shifts the graph up by d units.

If d is negative the graph shifts down by d units.

Since d=-2, the graph will shift down by 2 units.

Find the value of x in a triangle . If the hypotenuse of the triangle is 10 , the opposite is x+2 and the adjacent is x.​
Sauron [17]

Answer:

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

using Pythagoras' identity in the right triangle.

the square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other 2 sides , that is

x² + (x + 2)² = 10² ← expand parenthesis on left side and simplify

x² + x² + 4x + 4 = 100 ( subtract 100 from both sides )

2x² + 4x - 96 = 0 ( divide through by 2 )

x² + 2x - 48 = 0

(x + 8)(x - 6) = 0 ← in factored form

equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x + 8 = 0 ⇒ x = - 8

x - 6 = 0 ⇒ x = 6

however, x > 0 , then x = 6
