Answer:

I'll setup the problem and you can do the calculations

Step-by-step explanation:

Total length of straw - L

Length of piece 1 - x

Length of piece 2 - y

Length of piece 3 - z

What's given and the answer to (i)

y = x - 3

z = 2x

(ii) L = x + y + z = x + x - 3 + 2x

L = 4x-3

(iii) x = (21+3)/4 = 24/4

leaving you to calculate x

then substitute x into expressions for y & z above and you will have the answer

ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

From the graph <em>f</em>(-2) = 0

g(-2) = -3(-2) + 2

= 6 + 2 = 8.

So f(-2) is less than g(-2).

2. From the graph the y-intercept of f(x) = 8.

To find the y-intercept of g(x) solve y = -3x +2 when x = 0:

y = -3(0) + 2 = 2.

So f(x) has a greater y-intercept than g().

What is the weight, in Newtons, of a person on Earth whose mass is 90 kilograms? Gravity near the Earth's surface is 9.8 m/s2.
valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

W = 882 N

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The weight of a person, W = 90 kg

The value of acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m/s²

We need to find the weight of the person on Earth. The formula for the weight of an object is given by :

W = mg

Substitute all the values,

W = 90 kg × 9.8 m/s²

W = 882 N

So, the weight of the person is equal to 882 N.

Find a and b. А E b B 409 с D​
babymother [125]

Answer:

a = 70°, b = 140°

Step-by-step explanation:

use alternate interior angles

The interior angles of a straight line are 180°

a = 180°-110° = 70°

b = 180°-40° = 140°

//I'm sorry, but I'm not very fluent in English.

For the real-valued functions f(x)=2x+1 and g(x)=sqrt(x-1), find the composition f o g and specify its domain using interval not
Anettt [7]

Answer:

fog = 2√(x-1) + 1

Domain = [1, \infty)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the functions  f(x)=2x+1 and g(x)=sqrt(x-1), we are to find the composite function fog

fog = f(g(x))

f(g(x)) = f(√(x-1))

f(√(x+1)) means that we are to replace variable x in f(x) with the function √(x-1)

f(√(x-1)) = 2(√(x-1))+1

f(√(x+1)) = 2√(x-1) + 1

fog = 2√(x-1) + 1

<em>For the function to exist on any real valued function, then the function inside square root i.e x-1 must be greater than or equal to zero (x-1≥0)</em>

If x-1≥0

x≥0+1

x≥1

This means the range of variable x must be values of x greater than or equal to 1.

Domain = [1, \infty)

Major league baseball salaries averaged $1.5 million with a standard deviation of $0.8 million in 1994. suppose a sample of 100
seropon [69]

Answer: The probability that the avg. salary of the 100 players exceeded $1 million is approximately 1.

Explanation:

Step 1: Estimate the standard error. Standard error can be calcualted by dividing the standard deviation by the square root of the sample size:

SE=\frac{0.8}{\sqrt{100}}=\frac{0.8}{10} = 0.08

So, Standard Error is 0.08 million or $80,000.

Step 2: Next, estimate the mean is how many standard errors below the population mean $1 million.

\frac{1 - 1.5}{0.08}

=-6.250

-6.250 means that $1 million is siz standard errors away from the mean. Since, the value is too far from the bell-shaped normal distribution curve that nearly 100% of the values are greater than it.

Therefore, we can say that because 100% values are greater than it, probability that the avg. salary of the 100 players exceeded $1 million is approximately 1.
