F=length of first piece=x; S=length of second piece=2x

T=length of third piece=3x

.

F+S+T=24 inches

x+2x+3x=24 inches

6x=24in

F=x=4in

ANSWER 1: The length of the first piece is 4 inches.

.

S=2x=2(4in)=8in

ANSWER 2: The length of the second piece is 8 inches.

.

T=3x=3(4in)=12 inches.

ANSWER 3: The length of the third piece is 12 inches.

.

CHECK:

F+S+T=24in

4in+8in+12in=24in

24in=24in

On a table what does quadratic, linear, and exponential mean?
salantis [7]
A quadratic equation is an equation with exponents and x's, for example 3x^2+4x+3 is a quadratic. and quadratics usually have two points it can cross the x axis. though that doesn't mean it always crosses twice. some quadratic equations can cross more then twice and some don't at all.

linear equations are simple. they always show a straight line on a graph.

And exponential are kind like quadratics, exponential always have an exponent but don't have multiple x intercepts. exponentials  are equations like the equation for compound interest rates (Initial Account Balance * (Interest Rates) ^ Time) it is exponentially growing using exponents.
