this is a conversion problem
First you must understand that 1 foot = 12inches
Given a ribbon that is 5 1/2 feet long
To convert to inches, you will simply multiply 5 1/2 by 12 as shown;
= 5 1/2 * 12
convert the mixed fraction to improper fraction
= 11/2 * 12
= 11 * 12/2
= 11 * 6
= 66 inches
Hence the ribbon is 66 inches long
Solving a trigonometric equation involving an angle multiplied by a constant
Answers
In these questions, we need to follow the steps:
1 - solve for the trigonometric function
2 - Use the unit circle or a calculator to find which angles between 0 and 2π gives that results.
3 - Complete these angles with the complete round repetition, by adding
[tex]2k\pi,k\in\Z[/tex]4 - these solutions are equal to the part inside the trigonometric function, so equalize the part inside with the expression and solve for x to get the solutions.
1 - To solve, we just use algebraic operations:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \sqrt[]{3}\tan (3x)+1=0 \\ \sqrt[]{3}\tan (3x)=-1 \\ \tan (3x)=-\frac{1}{\sqrt[]{3}} \\ \tan (3x)=-\frac{\sqrt[]{3}}{3} \end{gathered}[/tex]2 - From the unit circle, we can see that we will have one solution from the 2nd quadrant and one from the 4th quadrant:
The value for the angle that give positive
[tex]+\frac{\sqrt[]{3}}{3}[/tex]is known to be 30°, which is the same as π/6, so by symmetry, we can see that the angles that have a tangent of
[tex]-\frac{\sqrt[]{3}}{3}[/tex]Are:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \theta_1=\pi-\frac{\pi}{6}=\frac{5\pi}{6} \\ \theta_2=2\pi-\frac{\pi}{6}=\frac{11\pi}{6} \end{gathered}[/tex]3 - to consider all the solutions, we need to consider the possibility of more turn around the unit circle, so:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \theta=\frac{5\pi}{6}+2k\pi,k\in\Z \\ or \\ \theta=\frac{11\pi}{6}+2k\pi,k\in\Z \end{gathered}[/tex]Since 5π/6 and 11π/6 are π radians apart, we can put them together into one expression:
[tex]\theta=\frac{5\pi}{6}+k\pi,k\in\Z[/tex]4 - Now, we need to solve for x, because these solutions are for all the interior of the tangent function, so:
[tex]\begin{gathered} 3x=\theta \\ 3x=\frac{5\pi}{6}+k\pi,k\in\Z \\ x=\frac{5\pi}{18}+\frac{k\pi}{3},k\in\Z \end{gathered}[/tex]So, the solutions are:
[tex]x=\frac{5\pi}{18}+\frac{k\pi}{3},k\in\Z[/tex]If pp is inversely proportional to the square of qq, and pp is 22 when qq is 8, determine pp when qq is equal to 4.

[tex]22=\frac{k}{8^2}\Rightarrow k=22\times64=1408[/tex]Put k = 1408 and q = 4 in the equation to find the value of p:

a rectangle has the perimeter of 116 cm and its length is 1cm more than twice its width. I got 39L and 19w but I'm having problems setting up the problems
Answers
To answer this question, we can proceed as follows:
1. We have that the perimeter of the rectangle is equal to 116cm, then, we have:
[tex]w+l+w+l=116\Rightarrow2w+2l=116[/tex]We know that a rectangle is a parallelogram. Then, its opposite sides are congruent.
2. We have that the length of the rectangle is 1 cm more than twice its width. We can translate this, algebraically, as follows:
[tex]l=2w+1[/tex]Now, to find the measures of the length and the width of the rectangle, we can substitute this last formula into the first one, as follows:
[tex]2w+2(2w+1)=116[/tex]We need to apply the distributive property to find w:
[tex]2w+4w+2=116[/tex]Adding like terms:
[tex]6w+2=116[/tex]Subtracting 2 to both sides of the equation, and then dividing by 6:
[tex]6w+2-2=116-2\Rightarrow6w=114\Rightarrow\frac{6w}{6}=\frac{114}{6}\Rightarrow w=19[/tex]Then, the width of the rectangle is equal to 19cm. The measure of the length can be calculated using either equation above. Let us use the first equation:
[tex]2w+2l=116\Rightarrow2\cdot19+2l=116\Rightarrow38+2l=116[/tex]Then, using similar properties as before, we have:
[tex]38-38+2l=116-38\Rightarrow2l=78\Rightarrow\frac{2l}{2}=\frac{78}{2}\Rightarrow l=39[/tex]In summary, we have that the measures of the length and width of this rectangle are:
• Width, ,(w) =, 19cm
,• Legth (l) = ,39cm

Answers
From the statement of the question, we know that 1 ounce and 30ccs are equivalent, we represent that with the following equation:
[tex]1\text{ounce}=30\text{ccs.}[/tex]Now, 2 ounces is double of 1 ounce, because 1 ounce is 30 ccs, 2 ounces must be 60ccs, the double of 30ccs.
[tex]2\text{ounces}=2\cdot1\text{ounce}=2\cdot30\text{ccs}=60\text{ccs.}[/tex]So if we want to ensure that the resident will receive 2 ounces of liquid, we must give him 60ccs.
Answer: we must give him 60ccs of liquid.

How many miles did lebron walk on the return trip?
Answers
Answer:
5 miles
Explanation:
First, we need to transform the mixed number into decimal numbers using as follows:
[tex]\begin{gathered} 4\frac{1}{2}=4+\frac{1}{2}=4+0.5=4.5\text{ miles} \\ 2\frac{1}{4}=2+\frac{1}{4}=2+0.25=2.25\text{ hours} \\ 2\frac{1}{2}=2+\frac{1}{2}=2+0.5=2.5\text{ hours} \end{gathered}[/tex]Now, the average rate was the same, so the ratio of the miles to the hours is always the same. Therefore, we can write the following equation:
[tex]\frac{\text{Miles}}{\text{Hours}}=\frac{4.5\text{ Miles}}{2.25\text{ Hours}}=\frac{x}{2.5\text{ Hours}}[/tex]Where x is the number of miles that Lebron walked on the return trip. So, solving for x, we get:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{4.5}{2.25}=\frac{x}{2.5} \\ \frac{4.5}{2.25}\times2.5=\frac{x}{2.5}\times2.5 \\ 5=x \end{gathered}[/tex]Therefore, Lebron walked 5 miles on the return trip.

ANSWER and EXPLANATION
We are given a function and its inverse function:
[tex]\begin{gathered} f(x)=\frac{1}{2}x \\ f^{-1}(x)=2x \end{gathered}[/tex]To solve the problems, we have to substitute the values of x in the brackets into the appropriate function (or inverse function).
Therefore, we have that the value of the function for x = 2:
[tex]\begin{gathered} f(2)=\frac{1}{2}\cdot2 \\ f(2)=1 \end{gathered}[/tex]For x = 1, we have that the value of the inverse function is:
[tex]\begin{gathered} f^{-1}(1)=2(1) \\ f^{-1}(1)=2 \end{gathered}[/tex]For x = -2, we have that the value of the inverse function is:
[tex]\begin{gathered} f^{-1}(-2)=2\cdot-2 \\ f^{-1}(-2)=-4 \end{gathered}[/tex]For x = -4, we have that the value of the function is:
[tex]\begin{gathered} f(-4)=\frac{1}{2}\cdot-4 \\ f(-4)=-2 \end{gathered}[/tex]For the fifth option, substitute the value of the function at x = 2 into the inverse function.
That is:
[tex]\begin{gathered} f^{-1}(f(2))=f^{-1}(1)=2\cdot1 \\ f^{-1}(f(2))=2 \end{gathered}[/tex]For the sixth option, substitute the value of the inverse function at x = -2 into the function.
That is:
[tex]\begin{gathered} f(f^{-1}(-2))=f(-4)=\frac{1}{2}\cdot-4 \\ f(f^{-1}(-2))=-2 \end{gathered}[/tex]To find the general form of the function:
[tex]f^{-1}(f(x))=f(f^{-1}(x))[/tex]either substitute the function for x in the inverse function or substitute the inverse function for x in the function.
Therefore:
[tex]\begin{gathered} f^{-1}(f(x))=2(\frac{1}{2}x)) \\ f^{-1}(f(x))=x \end{gathered}[/tex]That is the answer.
