40 cm.

let the length of the first part be 3x, second part be 4x, third part be 5x.

where x is a positive length in cm.

why 3x,4x and 5x ?

so that the ratio of lengths of the 3 parts be 3:4:5.

total length of the stick = 3x + 4x + 5x = 12x=96cm

so x=96/12 = 8cm

therefore the largest part of the stick (5x)= 5*8 =40cm

Rzqust [24]

Answer:

1p = r

Step-by-step explanation:

You are asking how many 1-foot pieces you can make out of a 5 foot piece of ribbon. You are asking for an equation.

p = the # of pieces

r = the amount of ribbon

So lets try the equation:

1p   = r

1(4) = r

1*4 = 4

4    = r

If Y varies directly as X and Y= 79 when X= 49, Find Y if X = 9
ryzh [129]

Answer:

y = 14.5

Step-by-step explanation:

given that y varies directly as x

mathematically,

y ∝ x

y = kx .............................................. where k is the constant of proportionality.

k = y /x

given that

y = 79

x = 49

k = 79/49

k = 1.61

to find y when x = 9

from

y = kx

y = 1.61 × 9

y = 14.5

therefore the value of y when x = 9 in ths variation is evaluated to be equals to 14.5

if alpha and beta are the zeroes of the polynomial f(x) = 6x² + x - 2, find the value of 1/alpha + 1/beta - alphabeta​
finlep [7]

Answer:

let alpha be x and beta be y

Step-by-step explanation:

x+y= -b/a

x+y=-1/6

and xy= c/a

xy= -1/3

according to question

1/x+1/y -xy =(x+y)/xy-xy

(-1/6)/(-1/3)-(-1/3)

1/2+1/3

the answer is 5/6
