a. The ratio between the lengths of two
pieces of lumber is 2:3. The longer piece is
21 ft long. How long is the shorter piece?




Help me please

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

14 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the shorter piece have length x.

Since the ratio is 2:3 and the longer piece is 21 feet long, we can write that as 2:3 = x:21.

Writing it as fractions, we get 2/3 = x/21 —(multiply by 21)—> x = 21*2/3 = 7*2 = 14 feet.

Thus, the shorter piece is 14 feet.

I hope this helps! :)

Answer 2

the shorter piece is 14ft long

Step-by-step explanation:

let the shorter piece be x

longer piece will be x:21

ratio of two pieces= 2:3

2:3=x:21

2/3=X/21

then cross multiply

21×2=3x

42/3=3x/3

X=14

2:3=14:21

hope it helps

Craig likes to collect video records last year he had 10 records his collection now has 12 records what is the percent increase of his collection

Answers

i believe the answer is a 20% increase because 12-10 equals 2. there is a 2 record difference so 2 out of 10 is 1/5 of the whole, but you have to convert the numbers and 1/5 of the whole of 100 is 20. sorry if that didn’t make much sense

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  20%

Step-by-step explanation:

The percentage change in a value is calculated from ...

  percent change = ((new value) -(old value))/(old value) × 100%

For your given numbers, this is ...

  percent change = (12 -10)/10 × 100% = (2/10)×100% = 20%

The rational numbers are √36, 7/16, and √81 = 9 the irrational numbers are √120, √48, and π.

What is an irrational number?

It is defined as the numbers in all real numbers which cannot be represented as rational numbers, in other words the irrational number cannot be expressed in the form of p/q form.

A rational number is a sort of real number that has the form p/q and does not equal zero.

From the definition of rational and irrational number, we can identify the rational and irrational numbers as below:

Rational numbers:

√36 = 6

7/16

√81 = 9

Irrational number:

√120

√48

At time t ≥ 0, the velocity of a body moving along the s-axis is v = t² -5t +4. When is the body moving backwards

Check comments for multiple choice answers

Answers

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

The velocity of a moving body is given by the equation:

[tex]v=t^2-5t+4 ,\, t\geq0[/tex]

Is the velocity is positive (v>0), then our object will be moving forwards.

And if the velocity is negative (v<0), then our object will be moving backwards.

We want to find between which interval(s) is the object moving backwards. Hence, the second condition. Therefore:

[tex]v<0[/tex]

By substitution:

[tex]t^2-5t+4<0[/tex]

Solve. To do so, we can first solve for t and then test values. By factoring:

[tex](t-4)(t-1)=0[/tex]

Zero Product Property:

[tex]t=1, \text{ and } t=4[/tex]

Now, by testing values for t<1, 1<t<4, and t>4, we see that:

[tex]v(0)=4>0,\, v(2)=-2<0,\,\text{ and } v(5)=4>0[/tex]

So, the (only) interval for which v is <0 is the second interval: 1<t<4.

Hence, our answer is A.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]P(-2<Z<2)=95\%[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

From question we are told that

Sample mean [tex]\=x= 47[/tex]

Standard deviation [tex]\sigma =7[/tex]

Generally the  X -Normal is given as

      [tex]Z=\frac{x-\=x}{\sigma}[/tex]

      [tex]Z=\frac{x-47}{9}[/tex]

Analyzing the range

    [tex]P(47<x<65) = P(0< z<2.00)[/tex]

    [tex]P(47<x<65) = 95/2[/tex]

   [tex]P(47<x<65) = 47.5\%[/tex]

Mathematically

[tex]Z_1 =\frac{47-47}{9} =0[/tex]

[tex]Z_2 =\frac{65-47}{9} =2[/tex]

Empirical rule shows that

[tex]P(-2<Z<2)=95\%[/tex]

A resistor utilized in a critical electronic component is required to have a resistance of 45 ohms /- 0.32 ohms. The current manufacturer of this resistor has found that its manufacturing process produces a mean value of 50 ohms and has a standard deviation of 0.16 ohms. What would be the C P of this process

Answers

Answer:

The value is  [tex]CP = 0.667[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The resistance is  [tex]R = 45 \pm 0.32\ \Omega[/tex]

   The mean is  [tex]\mu = 50 \Omega[/tex]

    The standard deviation is  [tex]\sigma = 0.16 \Omega[/tex]

Generally the upper  limit  of the resistance specified in the question(i.e  upper specification limit (USL )) is

        [tex]USL = 45 + 0.32 = 45.32 \ \Omega[/tex]  

Generally the lower  limit of the resistance specified in the question(i.e  lower specification limit (USL )) is

        [tex]LSL = 45 - 0.32 = 44.68 \ \Omega[/tex]

Generally the CP of the process of manufacturing the resistor is mathematically represented as  

         [tex]C P = \frac{ USL - LSL }{ 6 * \sigma }[/tex]

=>     [tex]CP = \frac{45.32 - 44.68 }{6 * 0.16}[/tex]

=>     [tex]CP = \frac{0.64 }{0.96}[/tex]

=>     [tex]CP = 0.667[/tex]

Let f(x) be a continuous function such that f(1)=2 and f(x)= x^3+6 and What is the value of f(5)?(A) 11.446 (B) 13.446 (C) 15.446 (D) 24.672 (E) 26.672 fx x f5

Answers

Answer:

the value of f(5) is 26.672

Option (E) 26.672 is the correct answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that;

f(1) = 2 and f(x) = √( x³ + 6 )

f(5) = ?

f(5) = f(1) + ₁∫⁵ f'(x) dx

we substitute

f(5) = 2 + ₁∫⁵ √( x³ + 6 ) dx

f(5) = 2 + ₁∫⁵ √( x³ + 6 ) dx

f(5) = 2 + 24.6719

f(5) = 26.672

Therefore the value of f(5) is 26.672

Option (E) 26.672 is the correct answer

The value of f(5) is 26.672

Continuous functions and drivatives

Given the following parameters

f(1) = 2

f(x) = √( x³ + 6 )

We need to calculate the value of f(5) as shown below

f(5) = f(1) + ₁∫⁵ f'(x) dx

Substitute the given parameters

f(5) = 2 + ₁∫⁵ √( x³ + 6 ) dx

f(5) = 2 + ₁∫⁵ √( x³ + 6 ) dx

f(5) = 2 + 24.6719

f(5) = 26.672

Hence the value of f(5) from the solution is 26.672

What is Linear Equation in 1 variable?

The linear equations in one variable is an equation which is expressed in the form of ax + b = 0, where a and b are two integers, and x is a variable and has only one solution

Given data ,

The equation is x + 7/2 = 5x/3

Subtracting 7/2 on both sides , we get

x = 5x/3 - 7/2

x = ( 10x - 21 ) / 6

Multiplying 6 on both sides , we get

6x = 10x - 21

Adding 21 on both sides , we get

6x + 21 = 10x

Subtracting 6x on both sides , we get

4x = 21

Divide by 4 on both sides , we get

x = 21/4

Hence , the solution for  x + 7/2 = 5x/3 is x = 21/4
