Answer:
9 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x = number of hours it would take Seth to work by himself
He would paint 1/x in 1 hour
x + 2 = number of hours it would take Ted to work by himself
He would paint 1/(x + 2) in 1 hour
Seth and Ted = 5 hours
They would paint 1/5 in 1 hour
The equation is this:
1/x + 1/(x + 2) = 1/5
(x + 2)+x/x(x+2) = 1/5
x+2+x / x(x+2) = 1/5
2x + 2 / x(x+2) = 1/5
2x + 2 = x(x + 2)1/5
2x + 2 = (x² + 2x)1/5
5(2x + 2) = x² + 2x
10x + 10 = x² + 2x
x² + 2x - 10x - 10 = 0
x² - 8x - 10 = 0
x = -b ± √b² - 4ac/2a
= -(-8) ± √(-8)² - 4(1)(-10) / 2(1)
= 8 ± √64 - (-40) / 2
= 8 ± √64 + 40) / 2
= 8 ± √104 / 2
= 8 ± 2√26 / 2
= 8/2 ± 2√26/2
= 4 ± √26
= 4 ± 5.0990195135927
= 4 + 5.0990195135927 or 4 - 5.0990195135927
= 9.0990195135927 or -1.Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let

x + 2 = number of hours it would take Ted to work by himself
He would paint 1/(x + 2) in 1 hour
Seth and Ted = 5 hours
They would paint 1/5 in 1 hour
The equation is this:
1/x + 1/(x + 2) = 1/5
(x + 2)+x / x(x+2) = 1/5
x+2+x / x(x+2) = 1/5
2x + 2 / x(x+2) = 1/5
Cross product
2x + 2 = x(x + 2)1/5
2x + 2 = (x² + 2x)1/5
Cross product
5(2x + 2) = x² + 2x
10x + 10 = x² + 2x
x² + 2x - 10x - 10 = 0
x² - 8x - 10 = 0
x = -b ± √b² - 4ac/2a
= -(-8) ± √(-8)² - 4(1)(-10) / 2(1)
= 8 ± √64 - (-40) / 2
= 8 ± √64 + 40) / 2
= 8 ± √104 / 2
= 8 ± 2√26 / 2
= 8/2 ± 2√26/2
= 4 ± √26
= 4 ± 5.0990195135927
= 4 + 5.0990195135927 or 4 - 5.0990195135927
= 9.0990195135927 or -1.0990195135927
Approximately,
x = 9 hours or -1 hour
It can't take Seth negative hours to work
Therefore,
x = number of hours it would take Seth to work by himself = 9 hours

SCALCET8 3.10.025. Use a linear approximation (or differentials) to estimate the given number. (Round your answer to five decimal places.) 3 126
Answer:
[tex]f(126) \approx 5.01333[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]\sqrt[3]{126}[/tex]
Required
Solve using differentials
In differentiation:
[tex]f(x+\triangle x) \approx f(x) + \triangle x \cdot f'(x)[/tex]
Express 126 as 125 + 1;
i.e.
[tex]x = 125; \triangle x = 1[/tex]
So, we have:
[tex]f(125+1) \approx f(125) + 1 \cdot f'(125)[/tex]
[tex]f(126) \approx f(125) + 1 \cdot f'(125)[/tex]
To calculate f(125), we have:
[tex]f(x) = \sqrt[3]{x}[/tex]
[tex]f(125) = \sqrt[3]{125}[/tex]
[tex]f(125) = 5[/tex]
So:
[tex]f(126) \approx f(125) + 1 \cdot f'(125)[/tex]
[tex]f(126) \approx 5 + 1 \cdot f'(125)[/tex]
[tex]f(126) \approx 5 + f'(125)[/tex]
Also:
[tex]f(x) = \sqrt[3]{x}[/tex]
Rewrite as:
[tex]f(x) = x^\frac{1}{3}[/tex]
Differentiate
[tex]f'(x) = \frac{1}{3}x^{\frac{1}{3} - 1}\\[/tex]
Using law of indices, we have:
[tex]f'(x) = \frac{x^\frac{1}{3}}{3x}[/tex]
So:
[tex]f'(125) = \frac{125^\frac{1}{3}}{3*125}[/tex]
[tex]f'(125) = \frac{5}{375}[/tex]
[tex]f'(125) = \frac{1}{75}[/tex]
So, we have:
[tex]f(126) \approx 5 + f'(125)[/tex]
[tex]f(126) \approx 5 + \frac{1}{75}[/tex]
[tex]f(126) \approx 5 + 0.01333[/tex]
[tex]f(126) \approx 5.01333[/tex]

Answer:

really?! :|
would someone mind looking over my answers to geometry!!
Answer:
Question 1: x = 6
Question 2: Correct!
Question 3: x = 11
Question 4: Correct!
Step-by-step explanation:
Question 1:
Angle 22x - 2 DOESN'T equal 50 degrees. Only Alternate Interior Angles will equal each other. These two angles are Same Side Interior Angles, meaning if you added them together, they would equal 180 degrees.
Knowing that adding 22x - 2 and 50 will equals 180 degrees, here's how we solve for x:
First, subtract 50 from 180 to find what angle 22x - 2 will equal:
180 - 50 = 130
130 = 22x - 2
Now use basic algebra to solve for x:
130 = 22x - 2
(add 2 to both sides)
132 = 22x
(divide both sides by 22)
x = 6
Question 3:
Angle 5x + 15 DOESN'T equal 9x + 11. They make up a line, which is 180 degrees, so they are supplementary angles.
With that in mind, to solve for x, add the two equations and set it equal to 180:
5x + 15 + (9x + 11) = 180
Now use basic algebra to solve for x:
5x + 15 + 9x + 11 = 180
(add like terms)
14x + 26 = 180
(subtract 26 from both sides)
14x = 154
(divide 14 from both sides)
x = 11

what is defination of equation? And why is it called a equation.
An equation can be defined as a mathematical statement in which two expressions are set equal to each other. In simple words, equations mean equality i.e. the equal sign. Since equations are all about “equating one quantity with another”,they are simply known as equation
Answer:
In algebra, an equation can be defined as a mathematical statement consisting of an equal symbol between two algebraic expressions that have the same value. ... For instance, 3x + 5 = 14 is an equation, in which 3x + 5 and 14 are two expressions separated by an 'equal' sign.

Which ratios are less than 8 to 10? Check all that apply.
6/20
3:5
50/100
13:15
9514 1404 393
Answer:
6/20, 3:5, 50/100 are all less than 8/10
Step-by-step explanation:
It can help to give all the ratios a common denominator. (We'll use 100, and fudge the last one a bit.)
8/10 = 80/100 . . . . our reference value
__
6/20 = 30/100 . . . less than 8/10
3/5 = 60/100 . . . . less than 8/10
50/100 . . . . . . . . . less than 8/10
13/15 ≈ 86.7/100 . . . more than 8/10

less than four.
(a) P(5) =

Part B is not clear and the clear one is;
P(X ≥ 6)
Answer:
A) 0.238
B) 0.478
C) 0.114
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this, we will make use of binomial probability formula;
P(X = x) = nCx × p^(x)•(1 - p) ^(n - x)
A) 54% of U.S. adults have very little confidence in newspapers. Thus;
p = 0.54
10 random adults are selected. Thus;
P(X = 5) = 10C5 × 0.54^(5) × (1 - 0.54)^(10 - 5)
P(X = 5) = 0.238
B) P(X ≥ 6) = P(6) + P(7) + P(8) + P(9) + P(10)
From online binomial probability calculator, we have;
P(X ≥ 6) = 0.2331 + 0.1564 + 0.0688 + 0.01796 + 0.0021 = 0.47836 ≈ 0.478
C) P(x<4) = P(3) + P(2) + P(1) + P(0)
Again with online binomial probability calculations, we have;
P(x<4) = 0.1141 ≈ 0.114

The probability that a certain hockey team will win any given game is 0.3669 based on their 13 year win history of 379 wins out of 1033 games played (as of a certain date). Their schedule for November contains 12 games. Let X = number of games won in November.
Required:
What is the expected number of wins for the month of November?
Answer:
4.4028
Step-by-step explanation:
Probability of game (p) = 0.3669
Number of wins in November (n) = 12
Expected number of wins = p*n
Expected number of wins = 0.3669 * 12
Expected number of wins = 4.4028
So, the expected number of wins for the month of November is 4.4028.

What are the values of x for which the denominator is equal to zero for y=(x+3)/(x^2+4x)
9514 1404 393
Answer:
-4, 0
Step-by-step explanation:
The denominator is x^2+4x. This is zero when ...
x^2 +4x = 0
x(x +4) = 0
The zero product rule tells you the product is zero when the factors are zero.
x = 0
x +4 = 0 ⇒ x = -4
The denominator is zero for x=0 and x=-4.
Use the probability distribution for the random variable x to answer the question. x 0 1 2 3 4 p(x) 0.12 0.2 0.2 0.36 0.12 Calculate the population mean, variance, and standard deviation. (Round your standard deviation to three decimal places.)
Answer:
[tex]\mu =2.16[/tex] --- Mean
[tex]\sigma^2 = 1.4944[/tex] -- Variance
[tex]\sigma = 1.222[/tex] --- Standard deviation
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]\begin{array}{cccccc}x & {0} & {1} & {2} & {3} & {4} \ \\ P(x) & {0.12} & {0.2} & {0.2} & {0.36} & {0.12} \ \end{array}[/tex]
Solving (a): The population mean
This is calculated as:
[tex]\mu = \sum x * P(x)[/tex]
So, we have:
[tex]\mu =0*0.12 + 1 * 0.2 + 2 * 0.2 + 3 * 0.36 + 4 * 0.12[/tex]
[tex]\mu =2.16[/tex]
Solving (b): The population variance
First, calculate:
[tex]E(x^2)[/tex] using:
[tex]E(x^2) = \sum x^2 * P(x)[/tex]
So, we have:
[tex]E(x^2) = 0^2*0.12 + 1^2 * 0.2 + 2^2 * 0.2 + 3^2 * 0.36 + 4^2 * 0.12[/tex]
[tex]E(x^2) =6.160[/tex]
So, the population variance is:
[tex]\sigma^2 = E(x^2) - \mu^2[/tex]
[tex]\sigma^2 = 6.16 - 2.160^2[/tex]
[tex]\sigma^2 = 6.160 - 4.6656[/tex]
[tex]\sigma^2 = 1.4944[/tex]
Solving (c): The population standard deviation
This is calculated as:
[tex]\sigma = \sqrt{\sigma^2}[/tex]
[tex]\sigma = \sqrt{1.4944}[/tex]
[tex]\sigma = 1.222[/tex]
