Answer:
The shorter piece x = 8.4 in
The longer one y = 15.6 in
Step-by-step explanation:
If we cut a string length L in to unequal pieces we get two pieces
first one with length x and the other one with length y
Let call x the smaller piece, then y = L - x will be the longer one
If x = 35 % then
x = 0,35* L and
y = L - x = L - 0,35*L ⇒ y = 0,65 L ⇒ y = 0.65*24
Now if L = 24 in
x = 0,35*24 ⇒ x = 8.4 in
and
L - x = 0.65*L ⇒ L - x = 0.65*24 y = L - x = 15.6 in
as way of verification you can add the length of the two pieces and find:
8.4 + 15.6 = 24 in
The function will simply get reflected about the y-axis.
Let's approach this through what we know. Since we know that the x values are mirrored, we know that the points in Quadrant I and IV will be reflected over to the negative side, Quadrants II and III, because they simply change in signs.
However, we also know that the function y-values do not change. This is because whatever the x values are don't change the range and y-values of an even function.
To be more specific, if we have an even function, we are most likely dealing with quadratics or variants/transformations of the quadratic function.
If we were to have 2, and -2, and we wanted to plug them into the equation:

, the signs do not change the y-values of the function.
Hence, we know that it ONLY gets reflected across the y-axis.
Answer:
27% and 37%
Step-by-step explanation:
Percentage of students who oppose the year-round school = 68%
Percentage of students who support the year-round school = 32%
Margin of error = ± 5%
We have to set up the absolute valued equation to find the range(least and greatest) percentages of students who could be in favor of year-round school.
Since, the percentage of students who support the year-round school is 32% and the margin of error is 5%, this means, the difference between 32% and the least and greatest possible percentages is 5%. It can be either +5% or -5%
This thing can be expressed as absolute valued equation as:
| x - 32 | = 5
Here x represents the least and greatest percentages.
Expanding the equation, we can write:
x - 32 = -5 or x - 32 = 5
x = -5 + 32 or x = 5 + 32
x = 27% x= 37%
This means the least percentage of students who be in favor is 27% and the greatest percentage of students is 37%.
