Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us represent:

Short pieces = x

Middle pieces = y

Long pieces = z

A three foot long deli sandwich must be split into three pieces

x + y + z = 3

The middle piece is twice as long as the shortest piece

y = 2x

The shortest piece is 8 inches shorter than the longest piece.

x = z - 8

z = x + 8

We substitute

x + y + z = 3

x + 2x + x + 8 = 3

5x = 8 - 3

5x = 5

x = 5/5

x = 1

y = 2x

y = 2 × 1

y = 2

z = x + 8

z = 1 + 8

z = 7

How long should the three pieces be?

I need help with number 9
ch4aika [34]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

We can safely assume we are dealing with an arithmetic scale because the type of scale isn't mentioned anywhere. The more right a point is on the scale, the higher its value is. We are given two points of the scale: 3 and 4. Because the scale is arithmetic, we know that 3.8 must lie on 4/5s of the length between 3 and 4 to the right of 3, which is exactly where point D is.

Which ordered pair is a solution to the equation y= 6x - 2?
Dmitry [639]

Answer:

  • (5, 28)

Step-by-step explanation:

  • y= 6x - 2

Verifying pairs:

(1,0)

  • 0 = 6*1 - 2
  • 0 = 4 - incorrect

(5, 28)

  • 28 = 6*5 - 2
  • 28 = 30 -2
  • 28 = 28 - correct

(6, 20)

  • 20 = 6*6 - 2
  • 20 = 36 - 2
  • 20 = 34 - incorrect

(3, 19)

  • 19 = 6*3 - 2
  • 19 = 18 - 2
  • 19 = 16 - incorrect

suppose you have 76 feet of fencing to enclose a rectangular dog pen. The function A=38x-x^2, where x= width, gives you the area
yan [13]
If A=38x-x^2 then

dA/dx=38-2x

d2A/dx2=-2

Since the acceleration, d2A/dx2 is a constant negative, when velocity, dA/dx=0, it will be an absolute maximum for A(x)

dA/dx=0 only when 38=2x, x=19

A(19)=38(19)-19^2

A(19)=722-361

A(19)=361 ft^2

So the maximum possible area is 361 ft^2

(This will always be true as the maximum possible area enclosed by a given amount of material will always be a perfect square...)
