a rope 25 feet long is cut into 3 pieces. the first piece is 2x feet long, the second piece is 5x feet long, and the third piece is 4 feet long.
a.) write and solve an equation to find x
b.) find lengths of the first and second pieces.

Lassify the function as linear or quadratic and identify the quadratic, linear, and constant terms. f(x) = (3x + 2)(−6x − 3) linear function; linear term: −21x; constant term: −6 linear function; linear term: −18x2; constant term: −6 quadratic function; quadratic term: 6x2; linear term: 24x; constant term: −6 quadratic function; quadratic term: −18x2; linear term: −21x; constant term: −6

Arestaurant gives out a scratch-off card to every customer. the probability that a customer will win a prize from a scratch-off card is 25%. design and conduct a simulation using random numbers to find the experimental probability that a customer will need more than 3 cards in order to win a prize. justify the model for your simulation, and conduct at least 10 trials.

Triangle xyz, with vertices x(-2, 0), y(-2, -1), and z(-5, -2), undergoes a transformation to form triangle x′y′z′, with vertices x′(4, -2), y′(4, -3), and z′(1, -4). the type of transformation that triangle xyz undergoes is a . triangle x′y′z′ then undergoes a transformation to form triangle x′y′z′, with vertices x″(4, 2), y″(4, 3), and z″(1, 4). the type of transformation that triangle x′y′z′ undergoes is a .
