Ok so this all about subtracting fractions this is what you want to do:

you can change 8 3/4 and 4 2/3 to have the same value and deominator
8 3/4 = 8 9/12(multiply both sides by 3)
4 2/3 = 4 8/12(multiply both sides by 4)
you do this because 12 is divisible by 3 and 4

then, subtract 4 8/12 from 8 9/12 because John is using some of the wood his dad gave him.
then subtract once again, taking 11/2 away from your difference.
again match the deominator of 11/2 to the deominator of your difference which should be 12. another divisible of 12 is 2 and 6.
11/2 = 66/12 = 5 6/12(multiply both the top and bottom by 6)
and start subtracting.

so John should have -1 5/12(?) wood left

Ghella [55]

The roots of the polynomial <span><span>x^3 </span>− 2<span>x^2 </span>− 4x + 2</span> are:

<span><span>x1 </span>= 0.42801</span>

<span><span>x2 </span>= −1.51414</span>

<span><span>x3 </span>= 3.08613</span>


x1 and x2 are in the desired interval [-2, 2]

f'(x) = 3x^2 - 4x - 4

so we have:

3x^2 - 4x - 4 = 0

<span>x = ( 4 +- </span><span>√(16 + 48) </span>)/6

x_1 = -4/6 = -0.66

x_ 2 = 2

According to Rolle's theorem, we have one point in between:

x1 = 0.42801 and x2 = −1.51414

where f'(x) = 0, and that is <span>x_1 = -0.66</span>

so we see that Rolle's theorem holds in our function.

An angle measures 70° more than the measure of its supplementary angle. What is the measure of each angle
jekas [21]

Answer:

55° and 125°

Step-by-step explanation:

Formulate an equation x + (x+70) = 180

Combine like terms to get 2x + 70 = 180

Subtract 70 on both sides to get 2x = 110.

Divide both sides by 2 to get x = 55.

Add 70 to 55 to get 125.

Check your answer by adding 55 + 125. It equals 180, so the angles are equal to 55 and 125.

A vendor at a street fair sells popcorn in cones, all of height 9 inches. The
Tatiana [17]

Answer:

The sharing cone holds about 9 times more popcorn than the skinny cone.

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a cone is given by the following formula:

V = \frac{\pi r^{2}h}{3}

In which r is the radius and h is the height.

Two cones:

Both have the same height.

The sharing-size cone has 3 times the radius of the skinny-size cone.

Skinny:

radius r, height h. So

V_{sk} = \frac{\pi r^{2}h}{3}

Sharing size:

radius 3r, height h. So

V_{sh} = \frac{\pi (3r)^{2}h}{3} = \frac{9\pi r^{2}h}{3} = 3\pi r^{2}h

About how many times more popcorn does the sharing cone hold than the skinny cone?

r = \frac{V_{sh}}{V_{sk}} = \frac{3\pi r^{2}h}{\frac{\pi r^{2}h}{3}} = \frac{3*3\pi r^{2}h}{\pi r^{2}h} = 9

The sharing cone holds about 9 times more popcorn than the skinny cone.
