Answer:

13 and 65

Step-by-step explanation:

x + 5x = 78

(because u want a piece (x) and a piece that's five times longer than x- so 5x. and they should come from a 78 inch piece)

6x = 78

x = 78 / 6

x= 13

(to counter check:  13 * 5 = 65.  

                               65 + 13 = 78  )

One piece is 13, the bigger piece is 65!

we know this because if one piece is 13, the piece 5 times bigger is (65), and 65+ 13 is 78.

A. Use composition to prove whether or not the functions are inverses of each other. B. Express the domain of the compositions u
Kryger [21]

Given: f(x) = \frac{1}{x-2}

           g(x) = \frac{2x+1}{x}

A.)Consider

f(g(x))= f(\frac{2x+1}{x} )

f(\frac{2x+1}{x} )=\frac{1}{(\frac{2x+1}{x})-2}

f(\frac{2x+1}{x} )=\frac{1}{\frac{2x+1-2x}{x}}

f(\frac{2x+1}{x} )=\frac{x}{1}

f(\frac{2x+1}{x} )=1

Also,

g(f(x))= g(\frac{1}{x-2} )

g(\frac{1}{x-2} )= \frac{2(\frac{1}{x-2}) +1 }{\frac{1}{x-2}}

g(\frac{1}{x-2} )= \frac{\frac{2+x-2}{x-2} }{\frac{1}{x-2}}

g(\frac{1}{x-2} )= \frac{x }{1}

g(\frac{1}{x-2} )= x


Since, f(g(x))=g(f(x))=x

Therefore, both functions are inverses of each other.


B.

For the Composition function f(g(x)) = f(\frac{2x+1}{x} )=x

Since, the function f(g(x)) is not defined for x=0.

Therefore, the domain is (-\infty,0)\cup(0,\infty)


For the Composition function g(f(x)) =g(\frac{1}{x-2} )=x

Since, the function g(f(x)) is not defined for x=2.

Therefore, the domain is (-\infty,2)\cup(2,\infty)

A. Evaluate the polynomial
sdas [7]

Answer:

a) y = x³− 5x² + 6x + 0.55 at x = 1.37.

Use 3-digit arithmetic with chopping. Evaluate the percent relative round-off error.

-1.183%

b. Express y as y = ((x − 5)x + 6)x + 0.55 (this is the same equation). Use again 3-digit arithmetic with chopping. Evaluate the percent relative round-off error and compare with part (a). Make the conclusion about which form of the polynomial is superior.

-0.161%

Comparing part a and b together, part b is more superior because the percent(%) error is smaller when compared to part a

Step-by-step explanation:

a) y = x³− 5x² + 6x + 0.55 at x = 1.37.

Use 3-digit arithmetic with chopping. Evaluate the percent relative round-off error.

Let's evaluate before applying the 3 digit arithmetic chopping rule

y = 1.37³ - 5 × 1.37² + 6 × 1.37 + 0.55

y = 1.956853

Let evaluate each components of the polynomial one by one

Note that: 3-digit arithmetic chopping means to approximate chop off or remove number after the 3 significant figures.

y = x³− 5x² + 6x + 0.55 at x = 1.37.

x³ = 1.37³ = 2.571353

≈ 2.57

x² = 1.37² = 1.8769

≈ 1.88

5x² = 1.87 × 5

= 9.35

x = 1.37

6x = 1.37 × 6

6x = 8.22

Evaluating the polynomial

y = 2.57 - 9.38 + 8.22 + 0.55

y = 1.98

The percent relative round-off error =

1.956853 - 1.98/1.956853 × 100

= -1.183%

b. Express y as y = ((x − 5)x + 6)x + 0.55 (this is the same equation). Use again 3-digit arithmetic with chopping. Evaluate the percent relative round-off error and compare with part (a). Make the conclusion about which form of the polynomial is superior.

y = ((x − 5)x + 6)x + 0.55

Evaluating with the 3 digit chop off rule is applied

= ((1.37 - 5)1.37 + 6)1.37 + 0.55

=( 1.8769 - 6.85) + 6) 1.37 + 0.55

= (- 4.9731 + 6 )1.37 + 0.55

= 1.0269 × 1.37 + 0.55

= 1.406853

= 1.956853.

≈ 1.96

Note in: evaluating before applying the 3 digit arithmetic chopping rule

y = 1.37³ - 5 × 1.37² + 6 × 1.37 + 0.55

y = 1.956853

The percent relative round-off error

1.956853 - 1.96/1.956853 × 100

= -0.161%

Comparing part a and b together, part b is more superior because the percent(%) error is smaller when compared to part a

qaws [65]
P = 2(L + W)
P = 192
L = 2W

192 = 2(2W + W)
192 = 2(3W)
192 = 6W
192/6 = W
32 = W <=== the width is 32 yards

L = 2W
L = 2(32)
L = 64 <=== the length is 64 yards
