Answer:

<h2> first piece: 5 in</h2><h2> second piece: 10 in</h2><h2> third piece: 32 in </h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

x - the length of the <u>first piec</u>e

2x - twice the length of the first piece (the length of the <u>second piece</u>)

6x - six times the length of the first piece

two inches more:

6x+2 - the length of the <u>third piec</u>e

first + second + third = 47 in {total length of the pieces of steel}

x + 2x + 6x + 2 = 47

9x + 2 = 47

9x = 45

x = 45:9

x = 5 in

first piece: 5 in

second piece: 2×5 = 10 in

third piece: 6×5 + 2 = 30 + 2 = 32 in

Which equation represents the inverse of f(x)=(x+3)^2+5 for x ≤-3

makkiz [27]

Answer:

f(x)=(x+3)^2+5

let f(x)=y

y=(x+3)^2+5

interchanging role of x and y

x=(y+3)²+5

x-5=(y+3)²

√(x-3)-3=y

y=√(x-3)-3

:.inverse of f(x)=(x+3)^2+5 is f-¹(x)=√(x-3)-3

Geometry help

svetoff [14.1K]

Yes, they will equal each other because the question says that the line is the perpendicular bisector of JK.
So,
25x-18=13x+90
12x=108
x=9
Now to find the length of JK, do 25(9)-18+13(9)+90
The answer is 414.
