<u>Answer:</u>

The length of a paper clip chain is directly proportional to the number of paper clips. If a chain with 65 paper clips has a length of 97.5 inches then the length of chain with 14 paper clips is 21 inches.

<u>Solution:</u>

Given that the length of a paper clip chain is directly proportional to the number of paper clips. Directly propotional means when the length of paper clip increases, then the number of paper clips also increases in same ratio.

Hence, by above definition, we get  

\frac{l_{1}}{l_{2}} = \frac{n_{1}}{n_{2}}  ------- eqn 1

From question, for a chain with 65 paper clips has a length of 97.5 inches, we get  

l_{1} = 97.5 \text { and } n_{1} = 65

Similarly, for a chain with 14 paper clips with length to be found, we get  

n_{2}=14 \text { and } l_{2} = ?

Now by using eqn 1, we can calculate the length of 14 paper clips  is,

\frac{97.5}{65}=\frac{l_{2}}{14}

Rearranging the terms we get,

l_{2 }= \frac{97.5 \times 14}{65}

l_{2}=21 \text { inches }

Hence the length of chain with 14 paper clips is 21 inches.

You are told to you will have to wait 5 hours in a line with a group of other people. Determine it. 1.You know the number of min
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

for\ five\ hours = 300\ min

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Waiting time = 5 hours.

We need to find the number of minutes for 5 hours.

Solution:

We know that 60 minutes for each hour, so one hour is equal to 60 minutes.

For one hour = 60\ minutes

For five hours = 5\times 60

for\ five\ hours = 300\ min

Therefore, you will have to wait 300 minutes in a line.

Consider the following sets: R = {x | x is the set of rectangles} P = {x | x is the set of parallelograms} T = {x | x is the set
Liula [17]
"T is a subset of P"

Not true since triangle has three sides but parallelogram has four sides.

"E is a subset of I"

True since equilateral triangles are isosceles triangles with all angles equal.

"S is a subset of T"

True since scalene triangles are still triangle.

"I ⊂ E"

False since there are isosceles triangles those are not equilateral triangles. Namely triangle with angles 20°, 20°, 140°

"T ⊂ E"

False since not all triangles are equilateral. Scalene triangle is one of counterexamples.

"R ⊂ P"

True since rectangles are parallelograms with right angles.

Final answer: <span>E is a subset of I, </span>S is a subset of T, and R ⊂ P.

Hope this helps.

Suppose g (x) is increasing and concave up everywhere and g(A)=7, gprime(A)=13, h=.01
rewona [7]
First we need a point (x,y) : (A, 7) 
<span>Now slope (from f'(A)) = 15 </span>
<span>Next, the equation (using point slope formula) </span>

<span>y - 7 = 15 (x -A) </span>
<span>y = 15 (x - A) + 7 </span>

<span>Now in the x spot we put 'A-.01' </span>
<span>y = 15 ( A - .01 - A) +7= 15(-.01) +7 = -.15+ 7 = 6.85
