Answer:

2 pieces

Step-by-step explanation:

Julie wants to cut 1 and a quarter yard long pieces of a 3 yard string.

1 and a quarter yard =  1\frac{1}{4} yards =  \frac{5}{4} yards

= 1.25 yards

The total length of a piece of string = 3 yards

Julie can cut the number of pieces of 1.25 yards = \frac{3}{1.25}

                                                                                 = 2.4 pieces

She can cut 2 pieces of 1.25 yard = 1.25 × 2 = 2.5 yard

3 yard - 2.5 yard = 0.5 yard would be leftover.

This question is actually a lot simpler than it seems

for a quarter think about money - a quarter is 25 cents or 1/4 of a dollar - so 1 and a quarter yard in decimal form is equivalent to 1.25

now you need to find how many 1 and a quarter yards are in 3 yards - to do this you simply divide 3 by 1.25

3/1.25 = 2.4

so julie can cut 2.4 1 and a quarter long pieces from the string

if you have any questions about how i answered this question please let me know:)

Given f(x) = x² - 10x + 22, what is the range of f?
adoni [48]

Answer:

[-3, ∞)

Step-by-step explanation:

There are many ways to find the range but I will use the method I find the easiest.

First, find the derivative of the function.

f(x) = x² - 10x + 22

f'(x) = 2x - 10

Once you find the derivative, set the derivative equal to 0.

2x - 10 = 0

Solve for x.

2x = 10

x = 5

Great, you have the x value but we need the y value. To find it, plug the x value of 5 back into the original equation.

f(x) = x² - 10x + 22

f(5) = 5² - 10(5) + 22

      = 25 - 50 +22

      = -3

Since the function is that of a parabola, the value of x is the vertex and the y values continue going up to ∞.

This means the range is : [-3, ∞)

Another easy way is just graphing the function and then looking at the range. (I attached a graph of the function below).

Hope this helped!
