-------------------------------------------
Define x:
-------------------------------------------
Let the shorter piece be x.
Shorter piece = x
Longer piece = 6x

-------------------------------------------
Construct equation:
-------------------------------------------
x +6x =35
7x = 35
x =5

-------------------------------------------
Find the length:
-------------------------------------------
Shorter length = x = 5 feet
Larger length = 6x = 6(5) = 30 feet

-------------------------------------------
Answer: The shorter piece is 5 feet.
-------------------------------------------

ERROR ANALYSIS Describe and correct the error in
valkas [14]

Answer:

The graph should be stretched rather than become narrower.

Step-by-step explanation:

To figure this out, just create some example points.

At x = 0, your y-value will always be 0. But if you were to plug in the value 1, you would get a y-value of 1 in y=x^2, but a value of 0.5 in y=0.5x^2. If you were to plug in a value of 2, you would get a value of 4 in y=x^2, but a value of 2 in y=0.5x^2.

If you continue this pattern for a few more points, then plot them, you will see that adding a coefficient of 0.5 simply stretches the graph

Answer:

Upper left corner

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide the distance D over the time T. If you travel D = 325 miles for T = 5 hours, then your speed or rate R is

R = D/T = 325/5 = 65

So you're traveling at 65 miles an hour if you travel 325 miles in 5 hours, which is what the upper left corner diagram is showing.
