11/56 inches or 0.196 inches must be removed.

The pipe measures 4/7 inches but needs to be reduced to 3/8 inches.

In order to find out the inches to be removed, you must subtract the length that the pipe should be from the length that it currently is.

Length to be removed = 4/7 - 3/8

You need a common denominator so find the lowest common factor of both denominators:

= 56

In the shared fraction, multiply the numerator by the number you get when you divide 56 by the denominator.

= 56/7 = 8 8 x 4 = 32

= 56 / 8 = 7 7 x 3 = 21

= (32 - 21) / 56

= 11 / 56 inches

= 0.196 inches

In conclusion, 11/56 inches must be removed to get the pipe to 3/8 inches

Which equation is the inverse of (x minus 4) squared minus two-thirds = 6y minus 12?

mario62 [17]

Answer:

The correct option is option B.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given function is

$(x - 4)^{2} - \frac{2}{3} = 6y - 12$

We can rearrange the function as

$(x - 4)^{2} - \frac{2}{3} = 6y - 12$

⇒ 3(x - 4)² - 2 = 18y - 36

⇒ 3(x - 4)² = 18y - 34

⇒ $(x - 4)^{2} = 6y - \frac{34}{3}$

⇒ $x - 4 = \pm \sqrt{6y - \frac{34}{3}}$

⇒ $x = 4 \pm \sqrt{6y - \frac{34}{3}}$

Therefore, the inverse function will be, $y = 4 \pm \sqrt{6x - \frac{34}{3}}$

Therefore, the correct option is option B. (Answer)

21. Given directed line segment WV , find the coordinates of R

Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

$R\left(\frac {4x_1+3x_2}{7} , \frac {4y_1+3y_2}{7}\right)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the coordinate of the points W, V and R are $(x_1,y_1), (x_2,y_2),$ and $(x_s,y_s)$ respectively.

The coordinate of the section point, $(x_s,y_s),$ which divides the line joining the two points $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$ in the ration $m:n$ is

$x_s=\frac {nx_1+mx_2}{m+n}$ and

$y_s=\frac {ny_1+my_2}{m+n}$ .

The given ration is, $m:n=3:4$

$R(x_s,y_s)=R\left(\frac {nx_1+mx_2}{m+n} , \frac {ny_1+my_2}{m+n}\right)$

$=R\left(\frac {4x_1+3x_2}{7} , \frac {4y_1+3y_2}{7}\right)$ .

The exact point can be determined by putting the value of the exact coordinate in the above-obtained formula.

pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

t = 0.53 hr

Step-by-step explanation:

We write expressions for the distances walked by these two people, sum them up and set the sum equal to 4 miles:

(3.5 mph)(t) + (4mph)(t) = 4 mi

Combining these terms:

(7.5 mph)(t) = 4 mi

4 mi

Solving for t: t = ---------------- = 0.53 hr

7.5 mph
