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.

Which equation represents the line that is perpendicular to graph of 4x+3y=9 and passes through (-2,3)
goldfiish [28.3K]

4y = 3x + 18

Step-by-step explanation:

NOTE THAT A line that is perpendicular to another has a negative inverse of the slope of the other line. The products of their slopes, that is, is always -1

Therefore we can begin by finding the slope of this line defined by the function 4x+3y=9

3y = -4x + 9

y = -4/3 x + 9/3

y = -4/3 x + 3

The slope of the  perpendicular line is, therefore;

¾  - this is the negative inverse of -4/3

Now that we know the slope, we need to find the y-intercept. This is where x = 0 and the line meets the y-axis;

i.e (0, y)

The other given point, where the line crosses  is (-2, 3). Remember that to get the gradient we use the formula;

Gradient = Δ y / Δ x

¾ = (3 – y) / (-2 – 0)

¾ = (3 –y) / -2  

¾ * -2 = 3 – y

-3/2 = 3 – y

-3/2 – 3 = -y

9/2 = y           ←– This is the y-intercept

Remember the function of a straight line is given;

y = mx + c (m being slope and c being y-intercept)

y = 3/4 x + 9/2

4y = 3x + 18

Does anyone know how to do these maths question???
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

Part 1) f(g(x))=3(x^2)+2

Part 2) g(f(5))=289

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

A composite function is a function that depends on another function. A composite function is created when one function is substituted into another function

we have

f(x)=3x+2

g(x)=x^{2}

Part 1) Determine f(g(x))

To find f(g(x)) substitute the function g(x) as the variable in function f(x)

so

f(g(x))=3(x^2)+2

Part 2) Determine g(f(x))

To find g(f(x)) substitute the function f(x) as the variable in function g(x)

so

g(f(x))=(3x+2)^2

For x=5

g(f(5))=(3(5)+2)^2

g(f(5))=289
