The first two pieces are the same, let each of those equal x, so you have x + x = 2x

The 3rd piece is the sum of the first two + 4, so this would be 2x + 4

Now you have 2x + 2x + 4 = 100 cm

Combine like terms:

4x +4 = 100

Subtract 4 from both sides

4x = 96

Divide both sides by 4

X = 24

First piece is 24 cm

Second piece is 24 cm

Third piece is 52 cm

Find the values of y which makes the expression (2y + 7) /(y2 - 2y - 15) undefined?
sammy [17]

The  given expression becomes undefined when y=5 or y = -3. The answer is option D.

Step-by-step explanation:

The value of the given expression becomes undefined when the denominator equals 0.

Hence to find the value of y which makes the expression undefined, we can equate the value of the denominator to zero and solve it .

Step 1

  Equate the denominator to 0.

  y^{2}  - 2y -15 = 0

Step 2

   Solve the above equation to get the value of y.

     y^{2}  - 2y -15 = 0

    => (y-5)(y+3) =0 [ Roots of the quadratic equation]

   => y = 5 or y = -3.

Hence when y = 5 or y = -3 the denominator becomes 0, which makes the expression (2y+7)/0  and hence it is undefined.

Chapter 7, Section 7.2, Question P9 The process for manufacturing a ball bearing results in weights that have an approximately n
bogdanovich [222]

a. Let X be a random variable representing the weight of a ball bearing selected at random. We're told that X\sim\mathcal N(0.15,0.005^2), so

\mathrm P(X

where Z\sim\mathcal N(0,1). This probability is approximately

\mathrm P(Z

b. Let X_i be a random variable representing the weight of the i-th ball that is selected, and let Y be the mean of these 4 weights,

Y=\dfrac{X_1+X_2+X_3+X_4}4

The sum of normally distributed random variables is a random variable that also follows a normal distribution,

X_1+X_2+X_3+X_4\sim\mathcal N(4\cdot0.15,4\cdot0.005^2)

so that

Y\sim\mathcal N(0.15,0.005^2)

Then

\mathrm P(Y

c. Same as (b).

The square of the sum of 7 times x and 3 divided by 4 times the difference of x and 1
4vir4ik [10]
I believe the 3rd answer down if the information you provided is correct

Squaring the sum on the top, rules out 1 and 2 (not squaring the 7 only)
then 4 times the difference.  so I believe 4 (x-1) on the bottom.
