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

Anna71 [15]

Tank A capacity = 550 gallons       66% x 550 gallons = 363 gallons in Tank A

How about the water in tank B?

ratio of  11: 15      11/15 = 550/x          550 * 15/11 = cap B = 750 gal       53% 0f 750 = .53 x 750 = 397.5 gal in tank B

Can somebody tell me how to solve these kind of problems?
Ugo [173]

Answer: 918km^2

Step-by-step explanation:

area(a): 1700km^2\\percentage(p): 5.75 = \frac{5.75}{100}=0.0575\\years(y): 8

Let x be the new dimension of the area;

x=a-(a*p*y)

x=(1700km^2)-(1700km^2*0.0575*8)\\x=1700km^2-782km^2\\x=918km^2

Answer:

  h, j2, f, g, j1, i, k, l (ell)

Step-by-step explanation:

The horizontal asymptote is the constant term of the quotient of the numerator and denominator functions. Generally, it it is the coefficient of the ratio of the highest-degree terms (when they have the same degree). It is zero if the denominator has a higher degree (as for function f(x)).

We note there are two functions named j(x). The one appearing second from the top of the list we'll call j1(x); the one third from the bottom we'll call j2(x).

The horizontal asymptotes are ...

  • h(x): 16x/(-4x) = -4
  • j1(x): 2x^2/x^2 = 2
  • i(x): 3x/x = 3
  • l(x): 15x/(2x) = 7.5
  • g(x): x^2/x^2 = 1
  • j2(x): 3x^2/-x^2 = -3
  • f(x): 0x^2/(12x^2) = 0
  • k(x): 5x^2/x^2 = 5

So, the ordering least-to-greatest is ...

  h (-4), j2 (-3), f (0), g (1), j1 (2), i (3), k (5), l (7.5)
