Answer:

<em>24 children</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

If the length of time, y hours, it takes to put a jigsaw puzzle together is inversely proportional to the number of children, x, this is represented as;

y  \alpha \frac{1}{x}\\y =\frac{k}{x}

k is the constant of proportionality

If it takes 16 children 6 hours to put the jigsaw puzzle together, this means at x = 16, y = 6

Substitute:

6 = k/16

k = 6*16

k = 96

W are to find number of children needed to put the same jigsaw puzzle together in 4 hours, this is done by substituting k = 96 and y = 4 into the expression y = k/x

y = 96/4

y = 24

<em>Hence it will take 24 children to put the same jigsaw puzzle together in 4 hours</em>

Given the lengths of two sides of a triangle, find the range for the length of the third side. (Range means find between which t
Sidana [21]
<h3>Answer:  5 < x < 21</h3>

Explanation:

Let x be the length of the third side. We can't find the exact value of x, as we don't have enough info, but we can find possible values for x.

The lower boundary for x is 13-8 = 5. It must be larger than this value.

At the same time, x must be smaller than 13+8 = 21 as well.

So x > 5 and x < 21 becomes 5 < x < 21

In short, x is between 5 and 21. It cannot equal either endpoint.

What is the value for f(x)= 3^2x+1 when x =1/2
Papessa [141]
Taking 2x is power of 3.

So it will be like 3^(2*1/2) + 1
You are replacing 'x' with 1/2
and the equation becomes 3^1+1
So, f(1/2) = 4
Answer is 4.

If its like
<span>3^(2x+1)
Then its like 3^[(2*1/2) +1]
It becomes 3^(1+1) = 3^2 = 9
So, the answer is 9
