Answer:

Each of the twin beds: 5 decorative pillows

Each of the queen beds: 11 decorative pillows

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of pillows used for each twin bed be x

Let the number of pillows used for each queen bed be y

she decorated 1 twin bed and 2 queen beds and used a total of 27 pillows. Thus;

x + 2y = 27 - - - (eq 1)

Also, she used

37 pillows to spruce up 3 twin beds and 2 queen beds. Thus;

3x + 2y = 37 - - - (eq 2)

From eq 1, x = 27 - 2y

Thus;

3(27 - 2y) + 2y = 37

81 - 6y + 2y = 37

81 - 4y = 37

4y = 81 - 37

4y = 44

y = 44/4

y = 11

x = 27 - 2(11)

x = 27 - 22

x = 5

Thus, she used 5 decorative pillows for each of the twin beds and 11 decorative pillows for each of the queen bed

dsp73

The graph of the function f(x) = –x^2 – 4x +2 are true options 1 and 4 are correct.

We have the given,

The graph of the function f(x) = –x^2 – 4x+ 2

The statements that agree with the graph of the equation are as follows:

1. The domain is {x|x ≤ –2}.

<h3>What is the domain?</h3>

The set of points at which function is defined.

4. The function is decreasing over the interval (−4, ∞).

From the given graph,

We can say that the above statements are true.

makkiz [27]

Answer:

B. 40 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

— Estimating

The rectangle enclosing the path has sides of length 9 m and 14 m, so its perimeter is 2(9+14) = 46 m. The distance covered will be shorter than that.

The distance from A to C is longer than the distance from D to C, so we know the distance will be longer than 2·14+9 = 37 m.

Only one answer choice fits in the range 37 < d < 46.

____

— Detailed calculation

The distance from B to C is the hypotenuse of a right triangle with sides 9 and 12. You will recognize that these side lengths are 3 times the side lengths of a 3-4-5 right triangle, so the hypotenuse distance is 3·5 = 15 meters.

The circuit length is ...

AB +BC +CD +DA = 2 + 15 + 14 + 9 = 40 . . . . meters

rosijanka [135]
Taking the length of the string to be the hypothenuse and the vertical height above the ground to be the 'opposite' side,
the length of the string
= 70/sin(40°)
= 109 feet
