Eleanor and Max used two rectangular pieces of plywood, placed end-to-end, to make a long rectangular stage for the school play.

One board was 6 feet long, and the other was 6 1/2
feet long. The two pieces of plywood had equal widths. The total area of the stage was 59 3/8
square feet. What was the width of the plywood?

The area is the product of length and width.

.. area = length * width

.. 61 5/8 = (7 +7 1/2) * width

.. (61 5/8)/(14 1/2) = width = 4 1/4 . . . . feet

The plywood was 4 feet 3 inches wide.

_____

A calculator that works with fractions figures this nicely. By hand, you might compute it as

.. 61 5/8 = (8*61 +5)/8 = 493/8

.. 14 1/2 = (2*14 +1)/2 = 29/2

.. (61 5/8)/(14 1/2) = (493/8)/(29/2) = (493/8)*(2/29) = 493/(4*29) = 493/116

.. 493/116 = 4 +29/116 = 4 +29/(4*29) = 4 1/4

26.   2x^2 +4x -10 = 0       (-4 + - (root(4^2 - 4*2*-10)))/2*2   =  
(-4 + - (root(96)))/4
(-4 + (root(96)))/4  ≈  1.45
(-4 -  (root(96)))/4  ≈  -3.45

27. f(x) = 0 when any of the components that multiply together equal 0 for this function therefore   x -2 = 0    x +3 = 0    x -5 = 0   so   f(x) = 0 when x = 2, -3 or 5

What is the exponential function modeled by the following table?
Ksivusya [100]

we have given the values of x and f(x) in the table we have x=2 and f(x)=5 for this if we plug x=2 in option f(2)=2^2+1=4+1=5.

for f(3)=2^3+1=8+1=9.

f(4)=2^4+1=16+1=17 .so the exponential function modelled by the table is option B)f(x)=2^x+1.
