<span>The long piece should measure 7.5 feet or 7'6" (7 foot 6 inches).
If x is the length of the short piece then the length of the long piece must be 3x. The total length of the uncut beam is 10 foot.
This can be represented by :
x + 3x = 10
4x = 10
x = 2.5
As x = 2.5 = length of short piece, then the long piece measures 3x = 3(2.5) = 7.5 feet.
There are 12 inches in a foot so 7.5 feet = 7'6"</span>
Answer:
Below in bold.
Step-by-step explanation:
A. −16x2 + 24x + 16 = 0
-8(2x2 - 3x - 2) = 0
-8(2x + 1 )(x - 2) = 0
x = -0.5, 2.
So the x-intercepts are (-0/5, 0) and (2, 0).
B. As the leading coefficients is negative (-16) the vertex of the graph will be a Maximum.
To find its coordinates we convert the function to vertex form:
f(x) = −16x2 + 24x + 16
= -16(x^2 - 1.5x) + 16
Completing the square on contents of the parentheses:
= -16 [(x - 0.75)^2 - 0.75^2] + 16
= -16(x - 0.75)^2 - 16 * -0.75^2 + 16
= -16(x - 0.75)^2 + 9 + 16
= -16(x - 0.75)^2 + 25.
So the coordinates of the vertex are (0.75, 25)
I think the answer is 4x - 15 = 6 + 1/2x
Answer:93
Step-by-step explanation:75+105+127=307
307-250=57
150-57=93
Answer:
25 + x = 44
Step-by-step explanation:
Substitute the words with the math symbols.
25 more than a number x is the same as 44
more than means to +
is the same as means =
25 more than a number x is the same as 44
25 + x = 44
25 + x = 44
