If the shorter piece is x feet long, the longer piece is 3x+4 feet long, and the total length is

... x + (3x+4) = 36

... 4x = 32 . . . . . . . . simplify, subtract 4

... x = 8

The shorter piece is 8 feet long; the longer piece is 28 feet long.

_____

You can do the math for the longer piece in your head: 36 ft - 8 ft = 28 ft.

Solve y=10x^3 + 5.5x^2 - 58.50x + 45.00
WITCHER [35]

Answer:

  x ∈ {-3, 1.2, 1.25}

Step-by-step explanation:

"Solve" is non-specific as to the solution required. We assume you want the x-intercepts.

A graph shows the zeros to be ...

  • x = -3
  • x = 1.2
  • x = 1.25

The equation can be factored as ...

  y = (1/2)(x +3)(4x -5)(5x -6)

Part E
Ronch [10]

The option which makes more sense for Jake to choose is option (1) He can accept the tie, and the game is over.

<h3>How to determine the best option to choose?</h3>

The complete question is added as an attachment

From the complete question, the probability in part D is

Probability = 33.5%

The options to choose one from are:

  • Option 1: He can accept the tie, and the game is over.
  • Option 2: He can make one more throw. Jake wins if he earns at least 30 points on the throw, but he loses if he earns less than 30 points.

The calculated probability is less than 0.5.

This means that Jake is more likely to lose than win

So, the best option for Jake is option (A) walk away

Hence, the option which makes more sense for Jake to choose is option (1) He can accept the tie, and the game is over.
