<h3>Answer:  40 inches</h3>

==========================================================

Explanation:

  • x = first piece
  • 2x = second piece, since its twice as long as the first
  • 5x = third piece, since its five time as long as the first

x is some positive real number, and the units of each are in inches.

Add up the smaller pieces and we should get 64 inches back again

x+2x+5x = 64

8x = 64

x = 64/8

x = 8

The first piece is 8 inches long.

2x = 2*8 = 16 is the length of the second piece (in inches)

The third piece is 40 inches because 5x = 5*8 = 40

--------

Summary:

first = 8 inches

second = 16 inches

third = 40 inches

Check: 8+16+40 = 64, which confirms the answer

blondinia [14]

Answer:

P(t)  =  27000 - 4*t

Step-by-step explanation:

Over a period of time, if we know the  population at certain time,  and the rate of change of the population, we can express the function describing such population by means of these two parameters  

Then:

P(t)  = P₀ + 4*t

In our case

P(t)  =  27000 - 4*t

Sign minus is for decreasing population t is in months, 4 is the rate of change and finally 27000 was population the first time Talulah counted the population

Which expression can be used to determine the length of segment ZY?
katrin2010 [14]

As we move from point Z to point Y, x increases by 8 and y increases by 3.  Thus the length of line segment ZY is sqrt(8^2 + 3^2) = sqrt(73), by the Pythagorean Theorem.  That's approx. 8.54.

You could also leave your answer in the form √(8^2 + 3^2).

Use a calculator to evaluate sec 85 degrees
faltersainse [42]

OK.  I used my calculator to evaluate sec(85 degrees).

My calculator doesn't have a "sec" button on it. 
But I remembered that

           sec of an angle = 1 / (cosine of the same angle) .

So I used my calculator to find cos(85), and then I hit the
" 1/x " key, and got 11.474, which I knew to be sec(85).
