6. Jay has a rope that is 31 ft long. He
needs 3 pieces that are 10.42 ft long
each to make a tire swing. Does he
have enough rope?

No, he does not have enough rope. 0.26 ft short.

Step-by-step explanation:

3 x 10.42 = 31.26

31.26 - 31 = 0.26

(f - g)(x) = 5x^3 - 3

step-by-step explanation:

rearrange these functions vertically, with like terms in separate columns:

f(x) = 5x^3 - 2

g(x) =         +1

now subtract, column by column:

(f - g)(x) = 5x^3 - 3
