Answer:

5.2 Minutes, or 5 minutes and 12 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

You can solve this problem by working backward.  Since our number gets smaller by a 1/10 or 0.1, in order to work backward we must multiply 3.60 by 10/9, since one tenth has been taken away already.  When we do this, we get 4.0.  When we add 1.2 minutes to that, we get a final answer of 5.2 minutes, or 5 minutes and 12 seconds.

A pile of newspaper was 17 3/4 inches high. Each consecutive week for the next 5 weeks the height of pile increase by 8 7/12 inc
Murljashka [212]

Answer: the height in inches, of the pile after 3 weeks is 34 11/12 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Each consecutive week for the next 5 weeks the height of pile increase by 8 7/12 inches. Converting 8 7/12 inches to improper fraction, it becomes 103/12 inches. The height is increasing in an arithmetic progression. The formula for determining the nth term of an arithmetic sequence is expressed as

Tn = a + (n - 1)d

Where

a represents the first term of the sequence.

d represents the common difference.

n represents the number of terms in the sequence.

From the information given,

a = 17 3/4= 71/4 inches

d = 103/12 inches

n = 3 weeks

the height in inches, of the pile after 3 weeks, T3. Therefore,

T3 = 71/4 + (3 - 1)103/12

T3 = 71/4 + 2 × 103/12 = 71/4 + 103/6

T3 = 419/12 inches = 34 11/12 inches

Given f(x) = x^2 - 5x, find f(x-3)
Hoochie [10]

Answer:

f(x-3)= x^2 -11x +24

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find an equivalent expression for f(x-3)

To do this, we can simply substitute every 'x' variable in f(x) by 'x-3'

Therefore f(x-3)= (x-3)^2 -5*(x-3)

Lets re arrange the expression by grouping terms.

f(x-3)=x^2 - 6x +9 -5x + 15

f(x-3)= x^2 -11x +24
