Answer:

12 pieces each:

S_1 = 3\ in

S_2= 4\ in

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

S_1 = 36\ in -- first string

S_2 = 48\ in --- second string

Required

Determine the number of equal pieces

To do this, we first calculate the HCF of the length of both pieces (36\ and\ 48)

36 = 2 * 2 * 3 * 3

48 = 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 3

Common\ prime\ factors = 2, 2\ and\ 3

The HCF is:

HCF = 2 * 2 * 3

HCF = 12

<em>Hence, he can cut both strings to 12 pieces each</em>

<em></em>

<em>Recall that </em>

S_1 = 36\ in

<em>The first string can then be cut in to 3 inches each (i.e. 36/12)</em>

S_2 = 48\ in

<em>The first string can then be cut in to 4 inches each (i.e. 48/12)</em>

(2x4+x3−4x2+3)+(4x4−2x3−x2+10x+2)
solniwko [45]
Im assuming there is exponents so if im assuming correctly, then the answer would be 6x^4 - x^3 - 5x^2 + 10x + 5 because you would combine like terms.

What is the slope of the line ? ( question 1/4 )
yanalaym [24]

\huge \rm༆ Answer ༄

First Consider two points ~ (0 , -3) and (-1 , 0)

Now, use the given formula to calculate slope :

  • \sf \dfrac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1}

  • \sf \dfrac{0 - ( - 3)}{ - 1 - 0}

  • \sf \dfrac{ 0 + 3 }{ - 1}

  • \sf \dfrac{3}{ - 1}

  • \sf - 3

Therefore, the slope of the graph is -3

A drilling crew dug to a depth of 26 ½ feet during their first day of drilling. On the second day, the crew dug down 9½ feet mor
Neporo4naja [7]

The depth of the bottom of the hole after the second day is 36 feet using addition operation.

<h3>What is addition?</h3>

In math, addition is the process of adding two or more integers together. Addends are the numbers that are added, while the sum refers to the outcome of the operation.

Given the depth on the first day is 26 ½ feet.

Depth on the second day = 9½ feet more than on the first day i.e. 9½ feet + depth on the first day

This implies, depth on the second day = 9½ + 26 ½

= 36 feet

Therefore, the depth of the bottom of the hole after the second day is 36 feet.
