Answer:

  48

Step-by-step explanation:

(264 in)/(5.5 in/piece) = (264/5.5) pieces = 48 pieces

_____

Division is the usual shortcut for repeated subtraction. You could subtract 5.5 from 264 until you get to zero. You would have to do 48 subtractions. It is easier to divide 264 by 5.5 to see how many times it goes.

Subtract- a(b-5) from b(5-a)
TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

5b - 5a

Step-by-step explanation:

b(5 - a) = 5b - ab

- a(b - 5) = - ab + 5a

Subtracting gives

5b - ab - (- ab + 5a) ← distribute parenthesis by - 1

= 5b - ab + ab - 5a ← collect like terms

= 5b - 5a

Find d for the arithmetic series with S17=-170 and a1=2
Irina18 [472]
So, we know the sum of the first 17 terms is -170, thus S₁₇ = -170, and we also know the first term is 2, well

\bf \textit{ sum of a finite arithmetic sequence}\\\\
S_n=\cfrac{n(a_1+a_n)}{2}\qquad 
\begin{cases}
n=n^{th}\ term\\
a_1=\textit{first term's value}\\
----------\\
n=17\\
S_{17}=-170\\
a_1=2
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
-170=\cfrac{17(2+a_{17})}{2}\implies \cfrac{-170}{17}=\cfrac{(2+a_{17})}{2}
\\\\\\
-10=\cfrac{(2+a_{17})}{2}\implies -20=2+a_{17}\implies -22=a_{17}

well, since the 17th term is that much, let's check what "d" is then anyway,

\bf n^{th}\textit{ term of an arithmetic sequence}\\\\
a_n=a_1+(n-1)d\qquad 
\begin{cases}
n=n^{th}\ term\\
a_1=\textit{first term's value}\\
d=\textit{common difference}\\
----------\\
n=17\\
a_{17}=-22\\
a_1=2
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
-22=2+(17-1)d\implies -22=2+16d\implies -24=16d
\\\\\\
\cfrac{-24}{16}=d\implies -\cfrac{3}{2}=d

EVALUATE THE FUNCTION REQUESTED. WRITE YOUR ANSWER AS A FRACTION IN LOWEST TERMS
Kryger [21]

Answer:

• From trigonometry ratios:

{ \boxed{ \rm{ \sin(A)  =  \frac{opposite}{hypotenuse} }}} \\

  • opposite → 28
  • hypotenuse → 35

{ \rm{ \sin(A)  =  \frac{28}{35} }} \\  \\ { \boxed{ \boxed{ \rm{ \:  \sin(A) =  \frac{4}{5}  \:  }}}}
