The piecewise function tells us specific rules he should execute based on the input x we put in. For example for answer A is true since we use the top function f(x) = -x + 1 since the input is -1 which is less than 0 (x < 0). We check to make sure the equation comes out true:
f(-1) = -(-1) + 1
f(-1) = 2 ✓
Answer:
25 cm.
Step-by-step explanation:
If the hypotenuse is x cm long the 2 legs are x-5 and x-10 cm long.
So by the Pythagoras theorem:
x^2 = (x - 5)^2 + (x - 10)^2
x^2 = x^2 - 10x + 25 + x^2 - 20x + 100
x^2 - 30x + 125 = 0
(x - 5)(x - 25) = 0
x = 5, 25
We can discard x = 5 because that would make the lengths of the legs negative so the hypotenuse = 25 cm long.
Answer in fraction form = 9/8
Answer in decimal form = 1.125
note: the improper fraction 9/8 converts to the mixed number 1 & 1/8
To get this answer, we divide both sides by 8 to isolate n. The expression 8n really means "8 times n". We divide to undo the multiplication.
Answer:
70 white and 42 striped
Step-by-step explanation:
To find this make a tee chart and do the multiples of 10 and 6 into they add up to 112. Hopefully this is correct. Have a nice day.
Liters would be the best metric unit.
