Let x + 1.5 be length of segment above left hand
Let 2x be length of segment below left hand
15 = x + 1.5 + 2x
15 = 3x + 1.5
15 - 1.5 = 3x
13.5 = 3x
13.5/3= 3x/3
4.5 = x
x = 4.5
This is the length above the left hand.
2x must be then 4.5*2 = 9 foot
This is the length below the left hand.
Checking
4.5 + 9 + 1.5 = 15 foot
Adding length below left hand & length of left hand to right hand:
9 + 1.5 = 10.5
The right hand is hence 10.5 foot far up the pole.
Answer:
x^2 - 2x - 1.
Step-by-step explanation:
(g - f)(x)
= g(x) - f(x)
= x^2 - 2 - (2x - 1) (Note we put the 2x -1 in parentheses).
= x^2 - 2 - 2x + 1
= x^2 - 2x - 1.
Answer:
a) 
b) 
c) 
d) 
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that the circle is increasing its radio from an initial state of r=0 cm, at a rate of 5 cm/s.
This can be expressed as:

a) Radius of the circle, r (in cm), in terms of the number of seconds, t since the circle started growing:

b) Area of the circle, A (in square cm), in terms of the circle's radius, r (in cm):

c) Circle's area, A (in square cm), in terms of the number of seconds, t, since the circle started growing:

d) Expanded form for the area A:

Answer: 24cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Inradius = r
c = the hypothenuse
a & b = the other 2 sides of the triangle
Inradius formula: r = 1/2 * (a+b-c)
Plug in what we know.
2 = 1/2 * (a+b-10)
Multiply both sides by 2.
2*2 = 1/2 * (a+b-10) * 2
4 = a+b-10
Add 10 to both sides.
4+10 = a+b-10+10
14 = a+b
Perimeter formula: P=a+b+c
Plug in what we know
(remember a+b=14).
P=14 + 10
P = 24
Answer:
She will need to use 377 inches of glitter tape.
Step-by-step explanation:
Find the circumference of the circle by using the radius. The circumference of each clock is 37.7 inches. Multiply that by 10, because there are 10 clocks. That will give you your answer is 377 inches!
