1. Start with 1 uncut rope.
2. To create 13 pieces, you need to make cuts: x + 1 = 13, where x is the number of cuts.
3. Solve for x: x = 13 - 1.
4. Therefore, x = 12.

The answer is 12 cuts.

Considering this information, determine the value of the third quartile of the ages of the animals treated at this veterinary clinic. ATTENTION: Provide the answer to exactly FOUR decimal places
User One of the applications of the derivative of a function is its use in Physics, where a function that at every instant t associates the number s(t), this function s is called the clockwise function of the movement. By deriving the time function we obtain the velocity function at time t, denoted by v(t). A body has a time function that determines its position in meters at time t as S(t)=t.³√t+2.t . Present the speed of this body at time t = 8 s.
Let v be the set of all ordered pairs of real numbers and consider the scalar addition and multiplication operations defined by: u+v=(x,y)+(s,t)=(x+s+1,y+t -two) au=a.(x,y)=(ax+a-1,ay-2a+2) It is known that this set with the operations defined above is a vector space.
