Answer:

LM = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question given:

L is the midpoint of NM

NL = 3x + 1

LM = 8x - 24

LM =?

Next, we shall determine the value of x.

This can be obtained as follow:

Since L is the midpoint of NM, it means that NL and LM are equal i.e

NL = LM

Thus, we can obtain the value of x as follow:

NL = 3x + 1

LM = 8x - 24

NL = LM

3x + 1 = 8x - 24

Collect like terms

3x - 8x = - 24 - 1

-5x = - 25

Divide both side by - 5

x = -25/-5

x = 5

Finally, we shall determine the length of LM as follow:

LM = 8x - 24

x = 5

LM = 8(5) - 24

LM = 40 - 24

LM = 16

Therefore, the length of LM is 16

Which is the best estimate of 11 1/5 divided by 2 3/4? <br><br> . 4<br> .6<br> .22<br> .33
Tanzania [10]

Answer:

4.07

Step-by-step explanation:

11 1/5 divided by 2 3/4

= 11 1/5 ÷ 2 3/4

= 56/5 ÷ 11/4

= 56/5 × 4/11

= (56*4) / (5*11)

= 224/55

= 4.07

The best estimate of 11 1/5 divided by 2 3/4 is 4.07

Let F(s) 1.1s + 0.03s2 represent the stopping distance (in feet) of a car travelling at s miles per hour. Calculate F(60) and es
Alinara [238K]

Answer:

F(60) = 3666 feet

Estimated Increase in Stopping Distance: 123.1 feet

Actual Increase in Stopping Distance: 122.1 feet

The cost of producing 3000 bagels is $1036.5

The Estimated cost of the 3001st bagel is $1036.736.

The actual cost of the 3001 st bagel is  $1036.737.

Step-by-step explanation:

F(s) = 1.1s + s²

F(60) = 1.1(60) + (60)²

         = 66 + 3600

F(60) = 3666 feet

To find the estimate increase in stopping distance, differentiate the function  to get F'(s) and then find F'(61)

F'(s) = \frac{dF(s)}{ds} = 1.1 + 2s

F'(61) = 1.1 + 2(61)

F'(61) = 123.1 feet

If speed is increased from 60 to 61, we can find the actual increase by finding F(61) and then subtracting F(60) from it.

F(61) = 1.1(61) + (61)²

F(61) = 3788.1 feet

Increase = 3788.1 - 3666

Increase = 122.1 feet

F(60) = 3666 feet

Estimated Increase in Stopping Distance: 123.1 feet

Actual Increase in Stopping Distance: 122.1 feet

C(x) =  300 + 0.25x - 0.5 (\frac{x}{1000})³

C(3000) = 300 + 0.25(3000) - 0.5 (3000/1000)³

             = 300 + 750 - 13.5

C(3000) = $1036.5

The cost of producing 3000 bagels is $1036.5

To estimate the cost of the 3001st bagel, we need to differentiate the function and then find the increase in price at the 3001st bagel. The answer then needs to be added to C(3000). So,

C'(x) = 0.25 - 0.5*3 (x/1000)²/1000

C'(3001) = 0.25 - 0.5*3 (3001/1000)²/1000

C'(3001) = 0.236

C(3001) = C(3000) + C'(3001)

            = 1036.5 + 0.236

C(3001) = $1036.736

The Estimated cost of the 3001st bagel is $1036.736.

C(3001) = 300 + 0.25(3001) - 0.5(3001/1000)³

             = 300 + 750.25 - 13.5135

C(3001) = $1036.737

The actual cost of the 3001 st bagel is  $1036.737.

Which transformation would take figure a to figure b​
Korolek [52]

Answer:

C. A reflection over the line y = -x

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to reflect that over a line that goes between the two of them. That imaginary line has a rise of -1 (it goes down 1 unit) and a run of 1 (it goes one unit to the right). In other words, the slope is -1. The line should also have a y-intercept of 0 it starts at (0,0).

Put that information in slope-intercept form

y = -1x + 0

You can take out the 0 because it adds nothing to the equation, and you can remove the one because of the same reason, but leave the negative sign.

y = -x
