Two splice plates are cut from a piece of sheet steel that has an overall length of 17 1/2 in. the plates are 9 3/8 in. and 6 15/16 in. long. how much material remains from the original piece if each saw cut removes 1/16 in.? in. of material remains from the original piece. (type a whole number, proper fraction, or mixed number.)

of material remains from the original piece.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Overall length of steel sheet is given by

Size of first plate is given by

Size of second plate is given by

Wastage of material from first plate is given by

Wastage of material from second plate is given by

According to question, Amount remains from the original piece is given by

Hence, of material remains from the original piece.

let f (x ) is a function and c be a positive real number,   the graph of the function g (x ) = f (cx ) is represented as follows.

when, c > 1,   the function compresses it in the x - direction.

when, 0 < c < 1, the function stretches it.

the function is g ( x ) = (9x )2.

the heighest power of x in g ( x ) = (9x )2 is 2, so the parent function is square function.

the equation of parent function is f ( x ) = x 2 .

the function is g ( x ) = (9x )2 and the parent function is f ( x ) = x 2 .

so, the functions f and g have the following relationship.

g ( x ) = f ( 9x ).

compare the function g ( x ) = f ( 9x ) with g (x ) = f (cx ).

c = 9 ( > 1 ).

so, the function g (x ) = (9x )2 compresses it in the x - direction.
