Since you mentioned the fundamental counting principle, I assume you are looking for the total number of possibilities.
If you are picking a month, there are 12 options.
If you are selecting a day of the week, there are 7 options.
If you are doing both, you multiply the two numbers together.
12 x 7 = 84
Do you see -8x?
Take half of -8 and square it.
So, (-8)/2 = -4.
(-4)^2 = 16
Now add 16 to both sides.
Answer:
The length of the sailboat is 80 feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
The function
................ (1)
models the maximum speed s in knots for a sailboat with length l in feet at the waterline.
So, using this model we have to find the length of a sailboat with a maximum speed of 12 knots.
Now, from equation (1) we get
⇒
⇒ feet (Answer)
{The value is round to the nearest foot}
