The smallest is 1/(5+1) = 1/6 of the total length, so is (276 in)/6 = 46 in.
The largest is 5*46 in = 230 in.
The two pieces are 46 in and 230 in.
Answer:

<em>- the coefficient of the second term is -5</em>
<em>- the coefficient of the fourth term is -10</em>
Explanation:
The coefficient of an expression is simply the number placed before and multiplying the variable (e.g. 10x ; the coefficient is 10, the variable is x)
Hope this makes sense. Feel free to inquire further if need be!

Y= 3(3)–2(3)2+5(3)3
y= 9–2*3*2+5*9
y=9–12+5*9
y=9–12+45
y=42
