So last week Paul worked 2.5x this week's hours, so he worked a total of 2.5x15= 37.5 hours last week.
Answer:
ring volume is 12cm3
Step-by-step explanation:
Lr ccm=volume of water and ring - Volume of water
ring cubic centimeters =x
x=9.2cm*4.5cm*7cm - 8.8cm*4.5cm*7cm
x=289.2cm3 - 277.2cm3
x=12cm3
This is the diference of 2 perfect squares. 4 is a perfect square, x^2 is a perfect square, and 25 is a perfect square. The pattern for this is (ax + b)(ax - b). Our a is 2 since 2*2 = 4, and our b is 5 since 5*5 = 25. So your factors are (2a+5)(2a-5), choice C.
the assumption being that "x" is a plain variable whilst "y" is a function, that matters because the chain rule would be needed for a function, not so for a plain variable.

now, we know that y(5) = -23, which is another way of saying that when x = 5, y = -23, but we already knew that, we can get that by simply plugging it into the equation hmmm y'(5), well
