Answer:

shorter piece: 2 feet

longer piece: 8 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

let the shorter piece be x

then the longer piece will be 3x + 2

<u>if they join together</u>:

  • 3x + 2 + x = 10
  • 4x + 2 = 10
  • 4x = 10 -2
  • 4x = 8
  • x = 2

<u>Longer piece</u>:

  • 3x + 2
  • 3(2)+2
  • 8 feet

Answer:

x+3x+2=10

4x=10-2

4x=8

x=8/4

x=2 ft. for the shorter piece./

3*2+2=6+2=8 ft. for the longer piece.

Proof:

8+2=10

10=10

Answer:

a) f(2) = 4

b) g(3) = 3

c) g(1/3) = -1

d) f(3) = 1/2

e) g(-2) = 2

f) f(π) = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given:

f={(2,4),(-4,3),(3,1/2),(π,3)} and g={(3,3),(-2,2),(1/3,-1)}

We need to find the following values of f and g

a) f(2)

f(2) means when x=2, we need to find the value of y.

Looking at the given f={(2,4),(-4,3),(3,1/2),(π,3)} , when x =2 then y=4

So, f(2) = 4

b) g(3)

g(3) means when x=3, we need to find the value of y.

Looking at the given g={(3,3),(-2,2),(1/3,-1)}, when x =3 then y=3

So, g(3) = 3

c) g(1/3)

g(1/3) means when x=1/3, we need to find the value of y.

Looking at the given g={(3,3),(-2,2),(1/3,-1)}, when x =1/3 then y=-1

So, g(3) = -1

d) f(3)

f(3) means when x=3, we need to find the value of y.

Looking at the given f={(2,4),(-4,3),(3,1/2),(π,3)} , when x =3 then y=1/2

So, f(3) = 1/2

e) g(-2)

g(-2) means when x=-2, we need to find the value of y.

Looking at the given g={(3,3),(-2,2),(1/3,-1)}, when x =-2 then y=2

So, g(-2) = 2

f) f(π)

f(π) means when x=π, we need to find the value of y.

Looking at the given f={(2,4),(-4,3),(3,1/2),(π,3)} , when x =π then y=3

So, f(π) = 3

What is 4/5 of 20.5?
earnstyle [38]
To find 4/5 of 20.5 the first step is to convert 4/5 into a decimal. You can do that by dividing 4 by 5. 
4/5 is .8 so your equation would now be .8 of 20.5 
"of" states that you are multiplying, so .8 times 20.5 is 16.4
4/5 of 20.5 is 16.4

4. Here is a linear equation: y=1/4 x + 5/4
4vir4ik [10]

Step-by-step explanation:

"Solutions to the equation" just means that they are points on the line. To find out if these two points land on this line, plug each one in, like this:

1.5 = (1/4)(1) + (5/4)

1.5 = (1/4) + (5/4)

1.5 = (6/4)

1.5 = 1.5

Since the expression is true, this point is on the line.

Do the same process for the second point (remember a point is formatted (x,y)) and see if it is also a point on the line.

To find the x-intercept, simply plug in 0 for y and see what you get. It should look like (x,0).
