Answer:

To solve the above riddle, you just need to think creatively and not take the question literally. The answer to the above riddle is, "Four kids get an apple and the fifth kid gets an apple still in the basket." This way, everyone gets an apple and the last apple still stays inside the basket.

Julius has a garden that has dimensions of 12 ft by 20 ft. Julius needs more room to plant some peppers, and determines the gard

alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

C. 3.4 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let, the amount of increase be 'x' feet.

As, the length and width of the garden are 20 ft and 12 ft respectively.

It is given that the area of the new garden is 360 ft²

Since, the length and width are increased by 'x'.

The new length and width are (x+20) ft and (x+12) ft respectively.

So, we get,

New area, $A_{G}$ = length × breadth = (x+20) × (x+12)

i.e. 360 = $x^{2}+32x+240$

i.e. $x^{2}+32x-120=0$

i.e. (x+35.4)(x-3.4)=0

i.e. x = -35.4 and x= 3.4

Since, the value of x cannot be negative.

Thus, x = 3.4 feet.

Use the definition of continuity to determine whether f is continuous at a. f(x) = 5x+5 a = -5 Question

Andrej [43]

ANSWER

$lim_{x \to - 5}(f(x)) = f( - 5)$

EXPLANATION

If f(x) is continuous at

$x = a$

Then,

$lim_{x \to a}(f(x)) = f(a)$

The given function is

$f(x) = 5x + 5$

$f( - 5) = 5( - 5) + 5$

$f( - 5) = - 25 + 5 = - 20$

$lim_{x \to - 5}(f(x)) = 5( - 5) + 5$

$lim_{x \to - 5}(f(x)) = - 20$

Since,

$lim_{x \to - 5}(f(x)) = f( - 5)$

The function is continuous at

$x = - 5$

The function f(x) = 2x 26 represents the distance a flock of birds travels in in miles. The function g(x) = x − 1 represents the

nydimaria [60]

Speed is the ratio of distance and time. When we divide f(x) by g(x) we will get the speed of the flock that is 9 miles/hour.

<h3>What is speed?</h3>

Speed can be defined as the rate of change in the position of an object. It is given as,

$Speed = \dfrac{Distance}{Time}$

Given to us

Distance traveled, f(x) = 2x+26

Time, g(x) = x − 1

As we know that the ratio of distance and time is equal to the speed of the object. Since the distance traveled by the flock of birds is given also, the time needed for them to travel the distance is also given.

We need to find f divided by g of 5, which is the speed of the flock,

$Speed = \dfrac{Distance}{Time} = \dfrac{f(x)}{g(x)}$

$Speed = \dfrac{f(x)}{g(x)} = \dfrac{2x +26}{x-1}$

$Speed = \dfrac{f(5)}{g(5)} = \dfrac{2(5) +26}{(5)-1}\\\\Speed = 9 \rm\ miles/ hour$

Hence, when we divide f(x) by g(x) we will get the speed of the flock that is 9 miles/hour.

Solve the inequality algebraically. Write the solution in interval notation.<br> |9x + 10| < 15

viva [34]

The given inequality is

$| 9x+ 10 |$

First we need to remove the absolute sign , and when we do so , we will get a compound inequality, that is

$-15< 9x+10 < 15$

To solve for x, first we need to get rid of 10. and for that, we have to do subtraction

$-15-10$

Now we need to get rid of 9, and for that, we do division

$\frac{-25}{9}< x< \frac{5}{9}$

So the required solution is

$( \frac{-25}{9} , \frac{5}{9})$
