Answer:

Sheet metal remaining = 4.1x

cost per square​ foot of sheet metal = $30

Step-by-step explanation:

Total sheet metal bought = 7.6 ft2

Total sheet metal used = 3.5 ft2

Given equation:

7.6x − 3.5x = 123

Where,

x = cost per square​ foot

7.6x − 3.5x

Sheet metal remaining = 4.1x

7.6x − 3.5x = 123

4.1x = 123

x = 123 / 4.1

x = $30

Cost per square​ foot = $30

which function grows at fastest rate for increasing values of x? h(x) = 6x^2+1 , f(x) = 9x +14, g(x)= 4^x
mezya [45]
Hi there! The answer is g(x) = 4^x.

The function g(x) is an exponential function, and these functions grow faster than linear or quadratic formulas.

Consider the proof. Given: In △ABC, BD ⊥ AC Prove: the formula for the law of cosines, a2 = b2 + c2 – 2bccos(A) Statement Reason
loris [4]

Solution: The missing reason in Step 8 is substitution of x=c\cos (A).

Explanation:

The given steps are used to prove the formula for law of cosines.

From step 5 it is noticed that our equation is

a^2=b^2-2bx+c^2      ..... (1)

From step 7 it is noticed that the value of x is c\cos (A).

So by substituting c\cos (A) for x in equation (1) we get the equation of step 8, i.e.,

a^2=b^2-2bc\cos (A)+c^2

Hence, the missing reason in Step 8 is substitution of x=c\cos (A).

Answer:

Well assuming you don’t need to simplify

44/100

0.44

44%

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay so fraction is easy, theres a 100 cubes in total, 44 are shaded in, 44/100 are shaded in which is the area in this scenario.

Decimal is basically moving the place area by a specific amount, in this case theres no whole number since the whole number is 1 or 100/100 and its 44/100 right now so it can’t be a whole number. Decimals go by tenths, hundreths, thousandths, etc. so in this case 44/100 is n the hundreth place since its over a hundred so its 0.44. Or you can move it twice to the right by the times of 0 that appears.

Percent basically means out of 100. So in this case its 44 out of a hundred or 44%
