Briana figures it would take her 12 hours to complete the task working alone, and that it would take Henry 18 hours if he completed the task by himself. How long will it take Briana and Henry to complete the task together?
a. 6.7 hours
b. 7.2 hours
c. 5.6 hours

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is B. It will take them 7.2 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that to collect data on the signal strengths in a neighborhood, Briana must drive from house to house and take readings, and she has a graduate student, Henry, to assist her, and Briana figures it would take her 12 hours to complete the task working alone, and that it would take Henry 18 hours if he completed the task by himself, to determine how long will it take Briana and Henry to complete the task together the following calculation must be performed:

1/12 + 1/18 = X

18 / (12 x 18) + 12 / (18 x 12) = X

30/216 = X

5/36 = X

36/5 = 7.2

Therefore, they will be able to finish the task in 7.2 hours.

f(x) = x - 1. Find the inverse of f(x).

Answers

Answer:

f^-1 (x) = x+1

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = x-1

y = x-1

Exchange x and y

x = y-1

Solve for y

Add 1 to each side

x+1 = y-1+1

x+1 = y

The inverse is x+1

Expand (2+x)^-3







....

Answers

Answer:

1/(x^3 + 6x^2 + 12x + 8)

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing we do is rationalize this expression. (2+x)^-3 is written as

1/(2+x)^3

Then from there we can foil out the denominator. It is easiest to foil (2+x)(2+x) first and then multiply that product by (2+x).

(2+x)(2+x) = 4 + 4x + x^2

(4+4x+x^2)(2+x) = 8+8x+2x^2+4x+4x^2+x^3.

Then we combine like terms and put them in order to get:

x^3 + 6x^2 + 12x + 8

And of course we can't forget that this was raised to the negative third power, so our answer is 1/(x^3 + 6x^2 + 12x + 8)

What sum of money, invested at 9%
interest per year, is needed to provide an
income of $45 per year?

Answers

Answer:

$500

Step-by-step explanation:

Intrest = P. A * Intrest Rate * Time

Time = 1 year, Intrest Rate = 9%, P. A. is what we need to find, Intrest is 45

45=x*9/100*1, x=500

Answer:

500

Step-by-step explanation:

I = PRT  where I is the interest, P is the amount invested, R is the rate and T is the time

We want 1 year at 9% to get 45 dollars in interest

45 = P ( .09) (1)

45 = .09P

Divide each side by .09

45/ .09 = P

500 =P

Answers

Answer:

4y+x-3=0

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation is y=mx+b

1) Use the coordinates from the first point

(-1,1)

1= -m+b

2) Use the coordinates frm the second point

(-5,2) (y=mx+b, use x=-5, y=2)

2=-5m+b

You have the system of equations

1=-m+b (multiply by -1)  -1= m-b

2=-5m+b

Add the first equation (multiplied by -1) and the second one

-1+2= m-b-5m+b

1= -4m

m=-0.25

2=1.25+b

b=0.75

y=-0.25x+0.75

4y= -x+3

Which of the following is a quadratic function

Answers

A quadratic a function has a form of,

[tex]f(x)=ax^2+bx+c,a\neq0[/tex]

The first function has a term [tex]x^3[/tex] which doesn't fit the profile of a quadratic function. The highest exponent on x inside a quadratic function can be 2, but here we have 3 so this is not a quadratic function, but rather a cubic function.

The second function fits the form of a quadratic function perfectly.

The third function is a bit tricky. While technically the third function could be considered quadratic if the leading term would be something like [tex]0x^2[/tex] and we did't even see it written out because multiplying with 0. But when we specified the form of a quadratic function, we strictly said that the number before [tex]x^2[/tex] aka [tex]a[/tex] cannot equal to zero. So the last function is not a quadratic function but rather a linear function.

Hope this helps :)

Probability is the ratio of the number of possible outcome to the number of total outcome.

Given that two marbles are drawn without replacement from a box with 1 blue, 3 white, 2 green, and 2 red marbles.

The total number of marbles in the box

What is the perimeter of CDE?
A. 37.8 units
B. 39 units
C. 32.5 units
D. 35.6 units

Answers

Answer: 32.5 units (choice C)

This value is approximate.

=============================================================

Explanation:

To find the perimeter, we simply add up the lengths of the three external sides.

The horizontal side from D to E is 16 units long since |-10-6| = 16. I subtracted the x coordinates of the points and applied absolute value. You could also count out the spaces and you should count 16 spaces from D to E.

Unfortunately, the diagonal lengths aren't as straight forward. We have two options here: The pythagorean theorem, or the distance formula.

I'll go with the distance formula.

Let's find the distance from C to D, aka the length of side CD

[tex]C = (x1,y1) = (-1,-2)\\\\D = (x2,y2) = (-10,0)\\\\d = \sqrt{(x_1 - x_2)^2 + (y_1 - y_2)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{(-1-(-10))^2 + (-2-0)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{(-1+10)^2 + (-2-0)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{(9)^2 + (-2)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{81 + 4}\\\\d = \sqrt{85}\\\\d \approx 9.2195\\\\[/tex]

Side CD is roughly 9.2195 units long.

Repeat this idea to find the length of CE

[tex]C = (x1,y1) = (-1,-2)\\\\E = (x2,y2) = (6,0)\\\\d = \sqrt{(x_1 - x_2)^2 + (y_1 - y_2)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{(-1-6)^2 + (-2-0)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{(-7)^2 + (-2)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{49 + 4}\\\\d = \sqrt{53}\\\\d \approx 7.2801\\\\[/tex]

Side CE is roughly 7.2801 units long

The perimeter of triangle CDE is approximately...

P = DE+CD+CE

P = 16 + 9.2195 + 7.2801

P = 32.4996

This then rounds to 32.5 units. The answer is choice C.

Answers

Answer:

machine fed copies = 25, hand fed copies = 55

Step-by-step explanation:

let machine fed = x, hand fed = y

0.08x+0.2y = 13 (1)

x+y = 80

x= 80-y (2)

sub (2) into (1)

0.08(80-y)+0.2y=13

6.4-0.08y+0.2y=13

0.12y=6.6

y = 55

sub y=55 into eqn 2

x = 80-55 = 25

14. The area of 10 square plots is 160 ares. Find the length in metres of the side of each plot (3mks)​

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1 are = 100 m²

Assuming the ten squares are congruent, the area of each square is 160/10 = 16 are

16 are × 100 m²/are = 1600 m²

each side is √1600 = 40 m

The length of side of plot is 40 meters.

What is area?

The total space occupied by a flat (2-D) surface or shape of an object is known as area.

Draw a square on a piece of paper with a pencil. It has two dimensions. The term "area" refers to the area that the shape occupies on the paper.

Now picture your square as being comprised of smaller unit squares. The number of unit squares required to cover a 2-D shape's total surface area is used to calculate its area.

Given the area of 10 square plot is 160 are,

here 1 are = 100 m²

area of 10 square plot = 160 x 100 = 16,000 m²

area of 1 square plot = 16000/10 = 1600 m²

area of square is "a²"

where a is side of square

area = a² = 1600 m²

a = √1600

a = 40 m

Hence the length of side of each plot is 40 meters.
