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

Help please I don’t get this

Answer:

$2.35 for one video

Step-by-step explanation:

You set up two equations:

$7.50= p + 2v

$12.20= p + 4v

You then set both equal to p

p=-4v+12.20 and p=-2v+7.50

So you can set them equal to each other and solve for v (the cost of one video)

v= $2.35

The graph of f ′ (x), the derivative of f(x), is continuous for all x and consists of five line segments as shown below. Given f
Nataliya [291]

The maxima of f(x) occur at its critical points, where f '(x) is zero or undefined. We're given f '(x) is continuous, so we only care about the first case. Looking at the plot, we see that f '(x) = 0 when x = -4, x = 0, and x = 5.

Notice that f '(x) ≥ 0 for all x in the interval [0, 5]. This means f(x) is strictly increasing, and so the absolute maximum of f(x) over [0, 5] occurs at x = 5.

By the fundamental theorem of calculus,

\displaystyle f(5) = f(0) + \int_0^5 f'(x) \, dx

The definite integral corresponds to the area of a trapezoid with height 2 and "bases" of length 5 and 2, so

\displaystyle \int_0^5 f'(x) \, dx = \frac{5+2}2 \times 2 = 7

\implies \max\{f(x) \mid 0\le x \le5\} = f(5) = f(0) + 7 = \boxed{13}
