Answer:

The lengths are 17 in and 33 in.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = the length of the shorter piece

x +x +16=50

2x = 50-16

2x= 34

x= 17

and

x + 16 = 17+ 16

x + 16 = 33

The lengths are 17 in and 33 in.

Check your answer:

17+33=50

Let x = the length of the shorter piece
x+x+16=50in
2x=50-16
2x=34
x=17

Then

x+16=17+16
x+16=33
Subtract 16 from both sides

The lengths are 17in and 33in

What is the frequency of the function y = 3sin2x
antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

  d.  None of the above.

Step-by-step explanation:

The period is the change in x required to make a change of 2π in the argument to the sine function:

  2x = 2π

  x = π

The frequency is the reciprocal of the period, so is 1/π. There are no matching answer choices.

Write the equation for the line in slope intercept form ​
Helen [10]

Answer:

  y = -2x -3

Step-by-step explanation:

The line crosses the y-axis at -3, so that is the y-intercept.

It has a "rise" of -2 units for each "run" of 1 unit, so the slope is -2. (For example, from point (-1, -1) to point (0, -3).)

The slope m and y-intercept b are used in the slope-intercept form of the equation of a line:

   y = mx + b

For the values this line has, the equation is ...

   y = -2x -3
