Answer:

The shorter piece is 10 in. and the longer one is 50 in.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's set the shorter piece to be length x. Then the longer piece is 5x, or 5 times longer than the shorter piece.

Since both pieces combined equals to the length of the entire board, we can set these two lengths equal to it:

x + 5x = 60

And now solve for x:

6x = 60

x = 10 in (length of shorter piece)

Now let's find the length of the longer piece:

Longer = 5x = 5(10) = 50 in.

Look at the right triangle ABC:
prisoha [69]

Answer:

The first incorrect justification is in step 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 2</u>. BC2 = AC • DC  

2. BC ÷ DC = BC ÷ AC because triangle ABC is similar to triangle BDC

It's supposed to be AC ÷ BC not BC ÷ AC.

Two functions are shown in the table below.
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

(d)\ x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

f(x) = -x^2 + 4x + 12

g(x) = x + 8

Required

Find x such that: f(x) = g(x)

This gives:

-x^2 + 4x + 12 = x+8

Collect like terms

-x^2 + 4x -x + 12 -8=0

-x^2 + 3x +4 =0

Expand

-x^2 + 4x - x+4 =0

Factorize

x(x - 4) - 1(x-4) = 0

Factor out x - 1

(x- 1)(x - 4)=0

Solve:

x =1\ or\ x = 4
