1. So first of all we have to divide the 3 fractions into decimals to get a decimal to compare. So 5/6 is the same as 5 divided by 6 which is .83 bar and so on...

5/6= .83 bar
1/4= .25
2/3= .66 bar

So 5/6 and 2/3 are closer to one.




2. The two shortest pieces are 2/3 and 1/4 so you se 1/4 + 2/3. Let’s get a common denominator for these fractions. The common denominator is 12. So multiply 1/4 • 3 to get 3/12 and multiply 2/3 by • 4 to get 8/12. Add them together and you get 11/12. So he would need 1/12 more cable or 0.083 bar.


3. Now we have to find a common denominator for all of them. The common denominator is 12 again. Multiply 5/6•2 and then you get 10/12, then add 10/12 +2/12(from 1/4) and then you get leftover with 9/12 or 3/4 more wire.

If a room is 20 by 24 feet, how big is it on a floor plan where 1/2 inch represents 1 foot?
Naddik [55]
Well if you take the room being 20 x 24. Thats 480 feet. But you want how large in 1/2 inch. 1/2 inch is 1/24 of a foot. So if we take 480 feet being 1 and times it by 24. (480 x 24) You get 11,520 half inches. Brainliest would be much appreciated if you feel its deserved.

For all values of x
Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

A.) gf(x) = 3x^2 + 12x + 9

B.) g'(x) = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

A.) The two given functions are:

f(x) = (x + 2)^2 and g(x) = 3(x - 1)

Open the bracket of the two functions

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

f(x) = x^2 + 2x + 2x + 4

f(x) = x^2 + 4x + 4

and

g(x) = 3(x - 1)

g(x) = 3x - 3

To find gf(x), substitute f(x) for x in g(x)

gf(x) = 3( x^2 + 4x + 4 ) - 3

gf(x) = 3x^2 + 12x + 12 - 3

gf(x) = 3x^2 + 12x + 9

Where

a = 3, b = 12, c = 9

B.) To find g '(12), you must first find the inverse function of g(x) that is g'(x)

To find g'(x), let g(x) be equal to y. Then, interchange y and x for each other and make y the subject of formula

Y = 3x + 3

X = 3y + 3

Make y the subject of formula

3y = x - 3

Y = x/3 - 3/3

Y = x/3 - 1

Therefore, g'(x) = x/3 - 1

For g'(12), substitute 12 for x in g' (x)

g'(x) = 12/4 - 1

g'(x) = 3 - 1

g'(x) = 2.
