Answer:

L_2 = 2\frac{2}{15}\ ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Original

Length(L_1) = 8\ in

Height (H_1) = 15\ in

New

Height (H_2) = 4\ ft

Required

Determine the new length (L2)

Since the original photographs was blown up; the original and the new photographs would have the same ratio

i.e.

Ratio = L_1 : H_1

and

Ratio = L_2 : H_2

Equate both ratios

L_1 : H_1 = L_2 : H_2

Rewrite as fraction

\frac{L_1}{H_1} = \frac{L_2}{H_2}

Substitute values for L1, H1 and H2

\frac{8}{15} = \frac{L_2}{4}

Multiply both sides by 4

4 * \frac{8}{15} = \frac{L_2}{4} * 4

4 * \frac{8}{15} = L_2

\frac{4 * 8}{15} = L_2

\frac{32}{15} = L_2

2\frac{2}{15} = L_2

L_2 = 2\frac{2}{15}\ ft

The new length must be 2\frac{2}{15}\ ft

Evaluate: x(y – z) for x = 3, y = 9, and z = 2<br> O 33<br> O 45<br> O-21<br> O 21
ad-work [718]

Answer:

21

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

We are given the expression x(y-z), and we want to evaluate it if x=3, y=9, and z=2

As we're given the values of the variables, we can substitute those values into the expression to find out what the value of the expression is.

So substitute 3 as x, 9 as y, and 2 as z in the expression above

x(y-z)

3(9-2)

Now we must follow the order of operations; start by subtracting 2 from 9 (do the stuff inside the parentheses first)

3(7)

Now multiply 3 and 7 together

<u>21</u>

Hope this helps!

Solve x2 + 1/2x +1/16=4/9
kolezko [41]

<u>Answer:</u>

x = 0.417 or x = -0.917

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

We are given the following expression and we are to solve it for the variable x:

x ^2 + \frac { 1 } { 2 } x + \frac { 1 } { 1 6 } = \frac { 4 } { 9 }

We will find the least common multiple of 2. 6 and 9:

x^2 \times 144 +\frac{1}{2}x \times 144 +\frac{1}{16} \times 144 = \frac{4}{9} \times 144

Simplifying it to get:

144x^2+72x+9=64

144x^2+72x+9-64=0

144x^2+72x-55=0

Using the quadratic formula to solve for x:

x=\frac{-b \pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}

x=\frac{-72 \pm\sqrt{72^2-4(144)(-55)} }{2a}

x=\frac{5}{12} or 0.417

x=-\frac{11}{12} or -0.917
