Answer:

1st piece = 4 ft

2nd piece = 4 ft

3rd piece = 8 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 3rd piece's length be "x"

Each of the two remaining pieces will be 4 feet shorter, so each other piece would be:

x - 4

and

x - 4

Since sum of all 3 pieces is 16, we can write:

1st piece + 2nd piece + 3rd piece = 16

x - 4 + x - 4 + x = 16

3x - 8 = 16

3x = 24

x = 24/3

x = 8

Third piece is 8 feet and each remaining piece is 8 - 4 = 4 feet and 4 feet

1st piece = 4 ft

2nd piece = 4 ft

3rd piece = 8 ft

Find the average value of f over region
SVETLANKA909090 [29]
D is a right triangle with base length 1 and height 8, so the area of D is \dfrac12(1)(8)=4.

The average value of f(x,y) over D is given by the ratio

\dfrac{\displaystyle\iint_Df(x,y)\,\mathrm dA}{\displaystyle\iint_D\mathrm dA}

The denominator is just the area of D, which we already know. The average value is then simplified to

\displaystyle\frac74\iint_Dxy\,\mathrm dA

In the x,y-plane, we can describe the region D as all points (x,y) that lie between the lines y=0 and y=8x (the lines which coincide with the triangle's base and hypotenuse, respectively), taking 0\le x\le1. So, the integral is given by, and evaluates to,

\displaystyle\frac74\int_{x=0}^{x=1}\int_{y=0}^{y=8x}xy\,\mathrm dy\,\mathrm dx=\frac78\int_{x=0}^{x=1}xy^2\bigg|_{y=0}^{y=8x}\,\mathrm dx
=\displaystyle56\int_{x=0}^{x=1}x^3\,\mathrm dx
=14x^4\bigg|_{x=0}^{x=1}

-1/3x+2x=3 3/4 what does the variable represent?
svet-max [94.6K]
Start off by combining like terms on the LHS (the terms with x in them).

So we get \frac{-1}{3}x+2x= \frac{-1}{3}x+ \frac{6}{3}x= \frac{-5}{3}x

Replacing this result with what we had before on the LHS, we get \frac{-5}{3}x=3 \frac{3}{4}= \frac{9}{4}

⇒Solve for x (divide both sides \frac{-5}{3})
⇒Don't forget about reciprocity rules when dividing.  This is the same as multiplying both sides by \frac{3}{-5}

⇒x= \frac{9}{4}( \frac{3}{-5})

⇒x= -\frac{27}{20}=-1\frac{7}{20} ***This is a proper fraction

Answer:

a) - 11x - 94y / 12    b)  x -4 / 5- 3x   c) 12x - 11 /10y

Step-by-step explanation:

a)  2x - 6y / 4    -  4y - x/ 12    -   4x - 20y /3

6x - 18y / 12 -     4y - x / 12              -  16x - 80y / 12

= 5x - 14y / 12     - 16x - 80y / 12

- 11x - 94y / 12

b) x /5 -    4/ 3x =  x -4 / 5- 3x

c) 2x -3/ 5y  -    5- 2x / 10y + x/y

4x - 6 /10y   -  5-2x/ 10y +  10x / 10y

2x - 11 / 10  + 10x / 10y

= 12x - 11 /10y
