The length of a string is L inches. Samantha cuts it into two unequal pieces such that the length of the small piece is 35% of L

.
If the length of the big piece is 24 inches longer than the length of the small piece, what is the ratio of the length of the small piece to the length of the big piece as a fraction in its lowest terms?

Answer:

The shorter piece   x  =  8.4 in

The longer one    y  =  15.6 in

Step-by-step explanation:

If we cut  a string length  L  in to unequal  pieces we get two pieces

first one with length  x  and the other one with length  y

Let call  x  the smaller piece,  then   y = L  -  x will be the longer one

If   x  =  35 %    then

x  =  0,35* L     and

y = L -  x  =  L - 0,35*L      ⇒  y  =  0,65 L     ⇒ y  =  0.65*24

Now if L  =  24  in

x  =  0,35*24          ⇒               x = 8.4 in

and

L  -  x  =  0.65*L      ⇒       L - x  =  0.65*24     y  =  L  -  x  =  15.6 in

as way of verification you can add the length of the two pieces and find:

8.4  +  15.6  = 24 in

Find each product (4x - 5)(2x5 + x3 – 1)
TEA [102]

Answer:

8x^6-10x^5+4x^4-5x^3-4x+5

Step-by-step explanation:

Lest distribute the expression given

this is multiply the first term (4x) with the longer expression (2x^5+x^3-1) and then, multiply the second term (-5) with the longer expression (2x^5+x^3-1).

When the above is finish, simply sum all together.

4x* (2x^5+x^3-1)= 8x^6 +4x^4-4x

-5*(2x^5+x^3-1)=-10x^5-5x^3+5

The sum of all together (respecting the coefficient they belong) is shown:

8x^6-10x^5+4x^4-5x^3-4x+5

Olegator [25]

Answer:

a) The variable of the study is: milligrams of nitrogen per liter of water.

This is the amount that needs to be measured and analyzed to reach conclusions in the study.

b) The variable is quantitative. The quantitative variables are those that represent quantities. This variables can be measured on a continuous or discrete scale. Then, all the variables that you can measure or count are quantitative variables(height of trees, number of passengers per car, wind speed, milligrams of nitrogen per liter, etc). On the other hand, qualitative variables are those that can’ t be measured, and they represent attributes, like apple colors (red, green), size of trousers (small, medium, large) and so on.

c) The population under study is the milligrams of nitrogen per liter of water that are in the entire lake. You can estimate the parameters of the population by taking samples (In the example, 28 samples are taken).
