A piece of string is 325 centimeters long. You need the string to be 114 meters long. How many centimeters should you cut off?

1 answer:

5 0

There are 100 centimeters in 1 meter.1 and 1/4 meters can also be written as 1.25, since 1/4 = 0.25.To find the answer, convert 1.25 meters to centimeters.
1 meter = 100 centimeters1.25 meters = x centimeters1.25 is 125% of 1. In other words, there is a 25% increase.
Now apply this increase to the centimeters side.125% = 1.251.25 • 100 = 125
So 1.25 meters (1 and 1/4 meters) equals 125 centimeters.
The string is 325 centimeters.In order for the string to be 125 centimeters, you need to cut some off.To find how much you need to cut off, subtract 125 from 325.325 - 125 = 200
Answer: In order for your string to be 1 and 1/4 meters, you must cut 200 centimeters off the original 325 centimeter long string.

Write the equation for g(x).

MrRissso [65]

Answer:

g(x) = $5x^{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem may seem tricky at first, but after you understand the basic concepts about vertical stretches and vertical shrinks, this problem will become much simpler. Additionally, if you use the online tool: DESMOS, you will be able visualize things better.

First, you may notice the graph is more narrow than the original "f(x)" graph. This means that the g(x) graph is a vertical shrink. A vertical shrink can be achieved by adding a whole-number as a coefficient to the " $x^{2} \\$ " formula. Adding a coefficient of "5" would result in coordinates like (1,5), just like adding a coefficient of "2" for example would result in coordinates like (1,2).
