Answer:

Length of first piece = 1.7058823 ft

Length of second piece = 4(1.7058823) = 6.82352941 ft

Length of third piece = 12(1.7058823) = 20.47058823 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

As given, Total length of the board = 29 ft

Let the board is divided into 3 pieces

Suppose that the length of first piece = x ft

As given, the second piece is 4 times longer than the first

⇒Length of second piece = 4x ft

Also given, the third piece is 3 times longer than the second.

⇒Length of third piece = 3(4x) = 12x ft

Now,

As total length of board = 29

⇒ x + 4x + 12x = 29

⇒ 17x = 29

⇒ x = \frac{29}{17} = 1.7058823 ft

∴ we get

Length of first piece = 1.7058823 ft

Length of second piece = 4(1.7058823) = 6.82352941 ft

Length of third piece = 12(1.7058823) = 20.47058823 ft

Which of the following graphs shows the preimage P(x)=x^2 and the image I(x)=P(1/3x)?
Ksju [112]

Answer:

The picture with the widest graph in red

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph P(x) is the parent graph for all quadratic functions. It has a vertex of (0,0) and has the following points:

x      f(x)

-2      4

-1       1

0       0

1         1

2       4

The image of l(x) = P(1/3x) changes the points of the function to

x      f(x)

-2/3      4/9

-1/3        1/9

0       0

1/3        1/9

2/3       4/9

This makes the graph much wider. The graph with the widest red graph is the graph.

What is -3+5+6g=11-3g solve for g
vitfil [10]

Answer: g = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

-3 + 5 + 6g = 11 - 3g

First, we need to combine like terms

-3 + 5 = 2

2 + 6g = 11 - 3g

Add 3g to each side

2 + 9g = 11

Subtract 2 from each side

9g = 9

Divide each side by 1

g = 1
