Answer:

Imagine an easier version of this problem:  You have a board 5 feet long that you must cut (divide, right?) into two equal parts.  It is probably clear to you that you simply divide the length (5) by the number of parts you're dividing it into (2) to obtain the length of each piece (2.5 feet).

Use the same method for your problem 5 feet divided by 6 is 0.83 feet per piece.

We do not ordinarily divide feet into decimal portions, but instead into inches.  Since an inch is 1/12 of a foot, you could simply say 5/6 = how many twelfths?  or 5/6 = n/12  Solve this by inspection or by cross multiplying 5 times 12 equals n times 6.  So n must equal 10, and your pieces of board are each 10 inches long.

Lily has a stamp collection .she has 54 more U.S stamps than foreign stamps . she has 652 stamps in all.
NISA [10]

Answer:

foreign stamps = 299

US stamps = 353

Step-by-step explanation:

Let number of foreign stamps be x.

Given she has 54 more U.S stamps than foreign , US stamps = x +54

Total stamps = US + Foreign

652 = x + 54 + x

652 - 54 = 2x

598 = 2x

x = 299

if f is a differentiable function and f(0)=-1 and f(4)-3 then which of the following must be true there exists a c in [0,4] wher
iragen [17]

Answer:

True, see proof below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember two theorems about continuity:

  1. If f is differentiable at the point p, then f is continuous at p. This also applies to intervals instead of points.
  2. (Bolzano) If f is continuous in an interval [a,b] and there exists x,y∈[a,b] such that f(x)<0<f(y), then there exists some c∈[a,b] such that f(c)=0.

If f is differentiable in [0,4], then f is continuous in [0,4] (by 1). Now, f(0)=-1<0 and f(4)=3>0. Thus, we have the inequality f(0)<0<f(4). By Bolzano's theorem, there exists some c∈[0,4] such that f(c)=0.
