Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

The shorter piece is 4 in. long.

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of the shorter piece can be represented using x.

Thus, you can say that the longer piece is 2x (since it is twice as long as the other piece).

Since, the length of both the pieces will, for sure, add up to 1 ft, then we can say:

x + 2x = 1 ft

Which will simplify into:

3x = 1 ft  (Divide both sides by 3)

x = 4 in. (Since 1 ft = 12 in., we can express it in different units unless you want a non-terminating decimal)

x = 4 in. is the length of the shorter piece since we established that x is the length of the shorter piece earlier on.

Ulleksa [173]

The two lines connect at (-4,-10)This means you would add 4 to x and then subtract 10 from the equation.

This means the answer is: B.g(x) = |x + 4| – 10.

1. Try It # 1 A company sells doughnuts. They incur a fixed cost of $25,000 for rent, insurance, and other expenses. It costs $0
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

The y-intercept is 25000 . The intercept is the fixed cost of the doughnut selling company.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the question, it is given that the fixed cost is $25000 and the expense to produce each doughnut is $0.25.

It is required to find and identify the y intercept.

To do so, use the equation derived in previous part of the exercise to interpret the slope. Compare the equation with standard equation of the line.

Step 1 of 1

The total cost of the company is the sum of fixed cost and the expenses for the doughnut, C=0.25x+25000.

Compare the equation with general linear equation y=mx+c.

The y-intercept is 25000 .

The intercept is the fixed cost of the doughnut selling company.
