The length of the shorter wire that the electrician cuts so that the difference between those two is of 5 m is 22.5.

Given to us

An electrician needs to cut a 49 m piece of wire into two pieces so that one piece is 5 m longer than the other piece.

<h3>What are the two equal parts of the wire?</h3>

We know that the length of the wire is 49 m, therefore, to cut the wire in two equal parts divide the total length of the wire by two,

\dfrac{49}{2} = 24.5

Thus, the length of each side will be 24.5.

<h3>What is the length of the shorter piece of wire?</h3>

Since we need to cut the wire such that one side of the wire is 5 less than the other, we already know the length of the equal sides deduct (5/2) from both sides to create a difference between the length of the wire.

Length of the shorter wire = 24.5 -2.5 = 22.5

Length of the longer wire = 22.5 + 5 = 27.5

Hence, the length of the shorter wire that the electrician cuts so that the difference between those two is of 5 m is 22.5.

The diameter of a circle is 10 meters. What is the area of the circle? (Use 3.14 for Pi and round to the nearest tenth.)
Butoxors [25]

Answer:

Area of a circle=pi*(radius)^2

Diameter=2*radius

=> radius=5 m

Area=3.14*(5)^2=3.14*25=78.5 m^2

Graph each absolute value function. State the domain, range, and y-intercept.
Paraphin [41]

Answer:

i)D:x\in R

ii)R: y\ge-3

iii) Y-int:(0,-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

i) The given absolute value function is;

f(x)=|x+2|-3.

The absolute value function is defined for all real values of x.

The domain is all real numbers.

ii) The range is all y-values that will make x defined.

The given function,

f(x)=|x+2|-3.

has vertex at, (-2,-3) and opens upwards.

This implies that, the minimum y-value is -3.

The range is y\ge-3

iii) To find the y-intercept substitute x=0 in to the function.

f(0)=|0+2|-3.

f(0)=|2|-3.

f(0)=2-3.

f(0)=-1.

The y-intercept is (0,-1)

See attachment for graph.
