Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Two boys want to balance a seesaw perfectly. One boy weighs 240 pounds and is sitting four feet from the fulcrum. The other boy weighs 160 pounds. Where should the lighter boy sit to balance the seesaw?

We solve using the formula

Distance on the fulcrum × Weight of the boy

= 4 × 240 = x × 160

4 × 240 = 160x

x = 4 × 240/169

In the question, "35 is what percent of 40?" what is the 35?
schepotkina [342]

Answer:

35 is the 'is' and 40 is the 'of'

Step-by-step explanation:

is/of = %/100

35/40 = x/100

cross-multiply to get:

40x = 3500

x = 3500/40

x = 87.5

Help Me | It says: Multiply by the ones. Regroup if needed. Then It says: 2x6 ones = ? Ones or ? Ten and ? Ones | 2x4 tens = ? T
Marianna [84]
2×6 ones= 12 ones
2× 4 tens(40)=80(8 tens)
tens(10)+1 ten=20(2 tens)
2×3 hundreds(300)=600(6 hundreds)

Write the slope- intercept form of the equation of the line passing through the point (3,5) and parallel to the line y=3x+6.
seropon [69]

Answer: The gradient of the line passing through is 3, thus the equation of the line becomes y=3x-4.

Step-by-step explanation: The parallel lines gradients that have similar gradients, so now we have the gradient of 3 because its similar to the other gradient. To get the equation of the line we use this equation: y=mx+c, we have to substitute the x and y to get the constant c.

5=3(3)+c

c= -4

y=3x+c

Let f (x) = 3x − 1 and ε > 0. Find a δ > 0 such that 0 < ∣x − 5∣ < δ implies ∣f (x) − 14∣ < ε. (Find the largest
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

This proves that f is continous at x=5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Taking f(x) = 3x-1 and \varepsilon>0, we want to find a \delta such that |f(x)-14|

At first, we will assume that this delta exists and we will try to figure out its value.

Suppose that |x-5|. Then

|f(x)-14| = |3x-1-14| = |3x-15|=|3(x-5)| = 3|x-5|< 3\delta.

Then, if |x-5|, then |f(x)-14|. So, in this case, if 3\delta \leq \varepsilon we get that |f(x)-14|. The maximum value of delta is \frac{\varepsilon}{3}.

By definition, this procedure proves that \lim_{x\to 5}f(x) = 14. Note that f(5)=14, so this proves that f is continous at x=5.
