Answer:

x=4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

5/15=x/ x+8

Step 1: Cross-multiply.

5/15=x/ x+8

5*(x+8)=x*(15)

5x+40=15x

Step 2: Subtract 15x from both sides.

5x+40−15x=15x−15x

−10x+40=0

Step 3: Subtract 40 from both sides.

−10x+40−40=0−40

−10x=−40

Step 4: Divide both sides by -10.

−10x−10=−40−10

Then your answer will be x=4.

john's dad gave him 8 3/4 pieces of wood. he used 4 2/3 pieces to make a bird house. his friend david then asked for 1 1/2 piece

Serjik [45]

Ok so this all about subtracting fractions this is what you want to do:

you can change 8 3/4 and 4 2/3 to have the same value and deominator
8 3/4 = 8 9/12(multiply both sides by 3)
4 2/3 = 4 8/12(multiply both sides by 4)
you do this because 12 is divisible by 3 and 4

then, subtract 4 8/12 from 8 9/12 because John is using some of the wood his dad gave him.
then subtract once again, taking 11/2 away from your difference.
again match the deominator of 11/2 to the deominator of your difference which should be 12. another divisible of 12 is 2 and 6.
11/2 = 66/12 = 5 6/12(multiply both the top and bottom by 6)
and start subtracting.

so John should have -1 5/12(?) wood left

Answer: A compound inequality contains at least two inequalities that are separated by either "and" or "or". The graph of a compound inequality with an "and" represents the intersection of the graph of the inequalities. A number is a solution to the compound inequality if the number is a solution to both inequalities.

1..A message in a bottle is floating on top of the ocean in a periodic manner. The time between periods of maximum heights is 26

statuscvo [17]

Answer:

See below for answers and explanations (along with a graph attached)

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A

The amplitude of a sinusoidal function is half the distance between the maximum and the minimum. It is given to us that the distance from the highest and lowest point is 6 feet, so our amplitude is 6/2 = 3 feet

Part B

The graph's function would be in the form of $y=acos(bx+c)+d$ where $a$ is the amplitude, $\frac{2\pi}{b}$ is the period, $-\frac{c}{b}$ is the phase/horizontal shift, and $d$ is the average/midline.

We already know our amplitude of $a=3$ from part A.

Since our period is given to us as 26 seconds, then we can use the equation $\frac{2\pi}{b}=26$ to find $b$ , which happens to be $b=\frac{\pi}{13}$ .

Since the cosine function starts at its maximum and we want it to start at the average where the bottle travels up, we would need to use the cofunction identity $sin(x)=cos(x-\frac{\pi}{2})$ which shifts the cosine graph $\frac{\pi}{2}$ units to the right. This means that $c=-\frac{\pi}{2}$ , making our phase shift $-\frac{c}{b}=-\frac{-\frac{\pi}{2}}{\frac{\pi}{13}}=6.5$ , or 6.5 feet to the right

Our average/midline would be $d=12$ as given as the average height by the problem.

Therefore, the function is $f(x)=3cos(\frac{\pi}{13}x-\frac{\pi}{2})+12$

Part C

Using our determined function from Part B, by looking at its graph, we see that the bottle will reach its lowest height of 9 feet after 19.5 seconds (see attached graph).
