A rope that is 168 ft long is to be cut into three pieces such that the second piece is 6 ft less than three times the first, and the third is 2 ft more than two-thirds of the second. Find the length of the longest piece.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Length of longest piece is 82 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the measure of the second piece be x

First piece be y

second piece is 6 ft less than 3 times the first

x = 3y - 6

y = (x + 6)/3

3rd piece = 2 + 2/3 * x

= 2 + 2x/3

Adding all equals 168

we only add in terms of x

so we have;

x + (x + 6)/3 + 2 + 2x/3 = 168

Multiply through by 3

3x + x + 6 + 6 + 2x = 504

6x + 12 = 504

6x = 492

x = 492/6

x = 82 ft

So the other pieces are

(x + 6)/3 = 82+6/3 = 88/3 ft

And lastly

2 + 2x/3

= 2 + 164/3 ft

in un rombo l'area e' di 234,95c2 , mentre l'altezza misura 12,7cm​

Answers

Answer:

la diagonale più lunga dovrebbe essere 37cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Se cerchi la diagonale più lunga la formula dovrebbe essere questa:

A=p*(q/2)

234,95 = 12,7*(x/2)

234,95/12,7 = x/2

18,5 = x/2

18,5*2 = x

6x⁴+5x³-10x+4 how to factorize this polynomial​

Answers

Yes, this is polynomial, and your answer will be:

(2x − 1) (3x − 2) (x^2 + 2x + 2)

Edit:

Factor 6x^4 + 5x^3 − 10x + 4 using the rational roots test.

(2x − 1) (3x^3 + 4x^2 + 2x − 4)

Factor 3x^3 + 4x^2 + 2x − 4 using the rational roots test.

(2x − 1) (3x − 2) (x2 + 2x + 2)

The factorized form of the given polynomial is (2x − 1)(3x − 2)(x² + 2x + 2).

What is a polynomial?

A polynomial is defined as a mathematical expression that has a minimum of two terms containing variables or numbers. A polynomial can have more than one term.

The polynomial is given in the question, as follows:

6x⁴ + 5x³ − 10x + 4

We have to factor using the rational roots test,

⇒ (2x − 1)(3x³ + 4x² + 2x − 4)

Similarly, factor 3x³ + 4x² + 2x − 4 operates the rational roots test.

⇒ (2x − 1)(3x − 2)(x² + 2x + 2)

Thus, the factorized form is (2x − 1)(3x − 2)(x² + 2x + 2).

what is the 7th term of the geometric sequence below? 7,-14,28,-56​

Answers

Answer:

The 7th term of given sequence is: 448

Step-by-step explanation:

Given sequence is:

7,-14,28,-56​

Here

a1 = 7

a2 = -14

a3 = 28

First of all we have to find the common ratio. The common ration is the ratio between two consecutive terms of a geometric sequence and is same for all consecutive terms of a geometric sequence.

So,

[tex]r = \frac{a_2}{a_1} = \frac{-14}{7} = -2\\r = \frac{a_3}{a_2} = \frac{28}{-14} = -2\\[/tex]

The common ratio is -2.

The general formula for geometric sequence is given as:

[tex]a_n = a_1r^{(n-1)}[/tex]

Putting values

[tex]a_n = 7.(-2)^{n-1}[/tex]

For 7th term, putting n=7

[tex]a_7 = 7*(-2)^{7-1}\\= 7 * (-2)^6\\= 7 *64\\= 448[/tex]

Hence,

The 7th term of given sequence is: 448

An industrial factory makes / yards of chain every minute. The cost of each yard of chain is $2.00. What is the total cost for all chain produced in 10 minutes?

Answers

Answer:

Cost = $86.67

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Yards = 4⅓ (missing part of the question)

Cost per yard = $2.00

Required

Determine cost of chains produced in 10 minutes

If 4⅓ yards is made in a minute, then

4⅓ * 10 yards are made in 10 minutes

Total = 4⅓ * 10

Total = 13/3 * 10

Total = 130/3 yards

Cost of a yard of chain is $2.00.

Cost of 130/3 yards would be:

Cost = $2.00 * 130/3

Cost = $260.00/3

Cost = $86.67 (approximated)

Hence, the required cost is approximately $86.67

Determine the remaining sides and angles of the triangle ABC

what is the measure of angle B

what is the length of side a

what is the length of side b​

Answers

Answer:

The measure of angle B is 41.5°

The length of side a is 30.6 feet ⇒ to the nearest tenth

The length of side b is 32.9 feet ⇒ to the nearest tenth

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the measures of the interior angles in a triangle is 180°

In the given Δ ABC

∵ m∠A = 38.1°

∵ m∠C = 100.4°

→ By using the fact above

∵ m∠A + m∠B + m∠C = 180°

∴ 38.1 + m∠B + 100.4 = 180

→ Add the like terms in the left side

∴ 138.5 + m∠B = 180

→ Subtract 138.5 from both sides

∴ m∠B = 41.5°

The measure of angle B is 41.5°

∵ a is the opposite side of ∠A

∵ b is the opposite side of ∠B

∵ c is the opposite side of ∠C

→ By using the sine rule

∴ [tex]\frac{a}{sinA}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{b}{sinB}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{c}{sinC}[/tex]

∵ c = 48.4 ft, m∠A = 38.1°, m∠B = 41.5°, and m∠C = 100.4

→ Substitute them in the sine rule above

∴ [tex]\frac{a}{sin38.1}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{b}{sin41.5}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{48.4}{sin100.4}[/tex]

→ By using cross multiplication between the 1st and the 3rd fractions

∴ a × sin 100.4 = 48.8 × sin 38.1

→ Divide both sides by sin 100.4

∴ a = 30.61429861

The length of side a is 30.6 feet ⇒ to the nearest tenth

→ By using cross multiplication between the 2nd and the 3rd fractions

∴ b × sin 100.4 = 48.8 × sin 41.5

→ Divide both sides by sin 100.4

∴ b = 32.87596206

The length of side b is 32.9 feet ⇒ to the nearest tenth

Avni designs a game in which a player either wins or loses 4 points during each turn. Which equation represents all numbers of points, p, a player may have after his or her first turn of the game? A. p = 4 B. p = –4 C. |p| = 4 D. |p| = –4

Answers

Answer:

C |p| = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

If a player wins 4points during each turn, then, the total points will be +4points

If the player looses 4points, total points lost will be -4points

The total number of point p the player can have will be represented as;

|p| = 4 (since is both positive and negative 4 )

Note that the nodulus of a variable will return both positive and negative value of that variable

foot?
Sheet metal costs $
per square foot.
-need help ASAP- please and thank you

Answers

Answer:

$16

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the cost per square foot we have to solve the given equation for x:

6.4x - 3.7x = 43.2

2.7x = 43.2

Divide both sides of the equation by 2.7 to isolate the x:

2.7x/2.7 = 43.2/2.7

x = 16

The sheet metal costs $16 per square foot.

X = 16

First, you cancel out the x by moving the one in the right to the left. You subtract the 6 from the left to the one in the right, giving you 2x. Then you cancel out the number on the left to the right (same thing as the x, remember by cancelling a number out you make it the opposite of what it is so if it’s negative it turns to positive to cancel out). Final step is to cancel out the x so you can divide it by the number that’s left to get the x by itself !

Step-by-step explanation:

First, distribute the 3 to the x and 5.

3x + 15 = 5x + 7

Now, subtract 3x from both sides and 7 from both sides.

8 = 2x

Now, divide by 2 on both sides.

4 = x

#teamtrees #WAP (Water And Plant)

The answer is 4=X

3 times X and 5 is 3X+15=5x+7

From there you subtract 3x from both sides and end up with 15= 2x+7

And then you subtract 7 from the 15. Which is 8

Then divide the 8 by 2 which is 4
