Answer:

4.8 smaller pieces

Step-by-step explanation:

Total length of wood = 3.6 feet

Length of each piece = 0.75 feet

How many smaller pieces will they be able to make?

Number of smaller pieces of wood = Total length of wood / Length of each piece

= 3.6 feet / 0.75 feet

= 4.8 smaller pieces

Number of smaller pieces of wood = 4.8

Let f(x) = (5)^x+1 .Evaluate f (-3) without using a calculator
rewona [7]

Answer:

f\left(-3\right)=\frac{126}{125}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

f\left(x\right)\:=\:\left(5\right)^x+1

Putting x = -3 to find f(-3)

f\left(-3\right)\:=\:\left(5\right)^{\left(-3\right)}+1

as

5^{-3}=\frac{1}{125}       ∵  \mathrm{Apply\:exponent\:rule}:\quad \:a^{-b}=\frac{1}{a^b}

so

f\left(-3\right)=\frac{1}{125}+1

\mathrm{Convert\:element\:to\:fraction}:\quad \:1=\frac{1\cdot \:125}{125}

f\left(-3\right)=\frac{1\cdot \:\:125}{125}+\frac{1}{125}

\mathrm{Since\:the\:denominators\:are\:equal,\:combine\:the\:fractions}:\quad \frac{a}{c}\pm \frac{b}{c}=\frac{a\pm \:b}{c}

f\left(-3\right)=\frac{1\cdot \:\:125+1}{125}

f\left(-3\right)=\frac{126}{125}      ∵ 1\cdot \:125+1=126

Thus,

f\left(-3\right)=\frac{126}{125}

Answers

1) 1

2) 11

3) 4

4) D) Yes, the constant of variation is 3

Explanation

Q1

The slope of a line is given by

Slope = (change in y)/(change in x)

= (0 - -2)/(-4 - -6)

= 2/2

= 1

Q2

Slope = Δy/Δx

= (8 - -3)/(2 - 1)

= 11/1

= 11

Q3

Y varies directly as X. This is written as,

Y ∞ X

Put and equal sign then introduce the constant of proportionality, K.

Y = KX

K = Y/X

K = 6/18 = 1/3

∴ Y = (1/3)X

Y = (1/3) × 12

Y = 4

Q4

32Y = 96X

Dividing both sides by 32,

Y = 96/32 X

Y = 3X

3 been the constant, Y varies directly as X.

So, the equation 32y = 96x is a direct variation.

Constant of variation = 3

Answer:

<h3>perpendicular line:    y = -¹/₆ x + 4¹/₃ </h3><h3>  parallel line:              y = 6x - 45 </h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

y=m₁x+b₁   ⊥   y=m₂x+b₂   ⇔    m₁×m₂ = -1

{Two lines are perpendicular if the product of theirs slopes is equal -1}

y = 6x - 7   ⇒   m₁=6

6×m₂ = -1        ⇒    m₂ = -¹/₆

 

The line y=-¹/₆ x+b passes through point (8, 3) so the equation:

3 = -¹/₆ ×8 + b must be true

3 = -⁴/₃ + b

b = 4¹/₃

Therefore equation in  slope-intercept form:

                                                     y = -¹/₆ x + 4¹/₃

y=m₁x+b₁   ║   y=m₂x+b₂   ⇔    m₁ = m₂

{Two lines are parallel if  their slopes are equal}

y = 6x - 7   ⇒   m₁=6   ⇒   m₂=6

The line y=6x+b passes through point (8, 3) so the equation:

3 = 6×8 + b must be true

3 = 48 + b

b = -45

Therefore equation in  slope-intercept form:

                                                     y = 6x - 45

A tire company finds that the lifespan for one brand of its tires is normally distributed with a mean of 47,500 miles and a stan
Illusion [34]

Answer:

42580 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean = \mu = 47500

\sigma = 3000

The manufacturer does not want to replace more than 5% of the tires

P(X\leq x)=5\%

P(\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}\leq \frac{x-47500}{3000})=0.05

By using normal table values :

\frac{x-47500}{3000}=-1.64

x=(-1.64 \times 3000)+47500

x=42580

Hence the approximate number of miles for the warranty is 42580 miles

Use the expression 9(7 + 2x) to answer the following:
oksian1 [2.3K]

Part A: Describe the two factors in this expression. (4 points) The factors are (1) the constant coefficient 9 and (2) the binomial (7+2x).

Part B: How many terms are in each factor of this expression? (4 points) The first factor (multiplicand), 9, has one term. The second factor (multiplicand), (7+2x), has two terms (and is thus called a binomial).

Part C: What is the coefficient of the variable term? (2 points) The only such coefficient is 2.
