Answer:

New length is 3 3/20 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

The total board is 2 5/8 feet long. And since 5/6 of a foot is trimmed off, that means each piece of wood is 5/6 feet.

We can now set up an equation like this ---> 5/6 ⋅ x = 2 5/8

Now we're going to simplify --->  5/6 ⋅ x = 2 5/8

                                                      5/6 ⋅ x = 21/8              

                                                      (multiply both sides by 6)

                                                      5x = 63/4

                                                      (divide both sides by 5)

                                                      x = 63/20

                                                      x= 3.15

So, the new length is 3.15 feet long, or 3 3/20 in mixed fraction.

Using factor theorem , show that (x -4) is a factor 2x3 + x2 -26x - 40 and hence factorize completely.
notka56 [123]

Step-by-step explanation:

if x-4 is a factor of 2x^3 + x^2- 26x - 40

then f(4) = 0

f(x) = 2x^3 + x^2- 26x - 40

f(4) = 2(4)^3 + (4)^2 - 26(4) - 40

f(4)= 2(64) + 16 - 104 - 40

f(4) = 128 + 16 - 104 - 40

f(4) = 0

hence factorize completely is the photo

Soloha48 [4]

Answer: Yes they could.

Step-by-step explanation:

The two pairs of sides given are proportional: 3/7 : 9/21

The two triangles have the side:side ratio, meaning they are similar

Because they are similar, their hypotenuses <em>could</em> lie along the same line, not guaranteed, but possible.

Ieda and Thanh both offer piano lessons. Ieda charges an initial fee of $8.50 and an hourly rate of $11.00. Thanh charges an ini
Trava [24]
The price for each instructor will be the same at 3 hours. How I determined this answer:

First off, you need to add the initial price and hourly price for each person together, so you already know how much it will cost for 1 hour, including the initial fee. Here's how you do it:

Ieda: $11.00 (hourly price) + $8.50 (initial fee) = $19.50 (for 1 hour)

Thanh: $10.50 (hourly price) + $10.00 (initial fee) = $20.50 (for 1 hour)

Now that you have the price for 1 hour including the initial fee, now you need to find the price for each hour after that. Here's how I did that:

I created a graph that looked like this:

Hours:       1                 2                  3               
Ieda:      19.50          30.50         41.50
Thanh:   20.50          31.00         41.50

Here's how I figured out the price for each hour:

Ieda:

Hour 1 (including initial price):
            $11.00 + $8.50 = $19.50
Hour 2 (excluding initial price): Only add the hourly price after Hour 1!
            $19.50 + $11.00 = $30.50 
Hour 3 (excluding initial price):
            $30.50 + $11.00 = $41.50

Thanh:

Hour 1 (including initial price):
            $10.50 + $10.00 = $20.50
Hour 2 (excluding initial price):
            $20.50 + $10.50 = $31.00
Hour 3 (excluding initial price):
            $31.00 + $10.50 = $41.50

So, looking at the graph, their prices are the same once each instruction reaches 3 hours. ($41.50)

I hope I was able to help you! :)
