Answer: 4.5 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Weight of original pipe =45 pounds

Weight of first piece = 18 pounds

Then, Weight of  other piece = 45- 18 =  27 pounds

Length of first piece = 3 feet

Let x be the length of other piece.

As length is directly proportional to weight.

Then, \dfrac{x}{27}=\dfrac{3}{18}

\Rightarrow\ \dfrac{x}{27}=\dfrac{1}{6}\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=\dfrac{1}{6}\times27 =4.5

Hence, the he length of the other piece = 4.5 pounds.

Tammy has planted a small, young tree in her yard. To allow for the tree’s growth, she needs 15 feet in all directions around th
astraxan [27]

Answer:

First, remember that a circle of radius R centered in the point (a, b) can be written as:

(x - a)^2 + (y - b)^2  = R^2

Suppose that we can model the yard as a rectangular coordinate axis.

And the tree is planted in the point (a, b)

If we want to have 15 feet in all directions around the base of the tree (15 ft around the point (a, b))

The section that must remain unplanted is:

(x - a)^2 + (y - b)^2   ≤ R^2

Where the ≤ symbol is used because all the interior of the circle must remain unplanted (border included)

If it is known that a+b/a-b=c, find the following: 2a-2b/5a+5b
sergiy2304 [10]
If (a+b)/(a-b)=c, then (a-b)/(a+b)=1/c
(2a-2b)/(5a+5b)=2(a-b)/5(a+b)=2/5 *1/c=2/(5c)

Johann fits a linear model to a set of data. The line of best fit has the equation y=0.331986x+5.33286. The scatter plot with th
Rasek [7]

Answer:

6.33

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we are asked to give a residual value at x = 3

This mean we are to predict the value of y at the point x= 3

To do this, what we need to do is to input the value x = 3 into the line of best fit equation.

The line of best fit equation according to the question is;

y=0.331986x+5.33286

Substituting x here, we have

y = 0.331986(3) + 5.33286

y = 0.995958 + 5.33286 = 6.328818

Question asks to give answer to the nearest hundredth and that is 6.33
