Answer:28inches & 84inches

First, lets write an equation that fits the data given. The string is 112 inches long. When the two pieces are cut, the first piece will be three times as long as the second piece. If we use the variable, x, to represent the second piece, we can create the following equation...

112=3x+x

Now lets solve for x.

112=4x
divide both sides by 4
28 inches=x

Now we know that the second piece is 28inches long. Since the first piece is three times as long, simply multiply 28*3 and we'll know the length of the first piece.

28*3=84 inches
28+84=112

A police car drives with a constant speed of 50 miles per hour. How long will it take to travel a distance of 175 miles?
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

It will take the police car 3.5 hours to travel a distance of 175 miles traveling at a rate of 50 miles/hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

If a car is traveling at a constant speed of 50 miles/hour and we wish to know how long it will take it to travel a distance of 175 miles, we will use this formula

d = r*t

Where d is the distance traveled in miles

r is the rate of speed in miles/ hour, and

t is the time in hours

d in this case is 175 miles and r is 50 miles/hour, plugging this in, we have

175 miles = (50 miles/hour) * t         Divide both sides by 50 miles/hour

Our miles unit will cancel out, leaving us with

3.5 hours = t

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

As the statement is ‘‘if and only if’’ we need to prove two implications

  1. f : X \rightarrow Y is surjective implies there exists a function h : Y \rightarrow X such that  f\circ h = 1_Y.
  2. If there exists a function h : Y \rightarrow X such that  f\circ h = 1_Y, then f : X \rightarrow Y is surjective

Let us start by the first implication.

Our hypothesis is that the function f : X \rightarrow Y is surjective. From this we know that for every y\in Y there exist, at least, one x\in X such that y=f(x).

Now, define the sets X_y = \{x\in X: y=f(x)\}. Notice that the set X_y is the pre-image of the element y. Also, from the fact that f is a function we deduce that X_{y_1}\cap X_{y_2}=\emptyset, and because  f the sets X_y are no empty.

From each set X_y  choose only one element x_y, and notice that f(x_y)=y.

So, we can define the function h:Y\rightarrow X as h(y)=x_y. It is no difficult to conclude that f\circ h(y) = f(x_y)=y. With this we have that f\circ h=1_Y, and the prove is complete.

Now, let us prove the second implication.

We have that there exists a function  h:Y\rightarrow X  such that f\circ h=1_Y.

Take an element y\in Y, then f\circ h(y)=y. Now, write x=h(y) and notice that x\in X. Also, with this we have that f(x)=y.

So, for every element y\in Y we have found that an element x\in X (recall that x=h(y)) such that y=f(x), which is equivalent to the fact that f is surjective. Therefore, the prove is complete.

Ken's fitness member ship cost $100 to join plus a $25 monthly fee. Ken also used a coupon to get 10% off the monthly fee. What
GREYUIT [131]

The equation that models the total cost is y = 100 + 22.5m

Step-by-step explanation:

Fitness member ship cost = $100

Monthly fee = $25

Discount = 10% on monthly fee

To calculate new monthly fee after discount,  

25 - (25*10%) --> 25 - 2.5 --> $22.5

Number of months = m

Fee in m months = 22.5*m = 22.5m

<u>Equation:</u>

(c) is constant which is the membership fee

(x) is the monthly fee $22.5

(m) is the number of months

(y) is the total cost

So,

y = mx + c

y = m(22.5) + 100

y = 100 + 22.5m

Therefore, the equation that models the total cost is y = 100 + 22.5m
