Two workers finished a job in 7.5 days.
How long would it take each worker to do the job by himself if one of the workers needs 8 more days to finish the job than the other worker?
let t = time required by one worker to complete the job alone
then
(t+8) = time required by the other worker (shirker)
let the completed job = 1
A typical shared work equation
7.5%2Ft + 7.5%2F%28%28t%2B8%29%29 = 1
multiply by t(t+8), cancel the denominators, and you have
7.5(t+8) + 7.5t = t(t+8)
7.5t + 60 + 7.5t = t^2 + 8t
15t + 60 = t^2 + 8t
form a quadratic equation on the right
0 = t^2 + 8t - 15t - 60
t^2 - 7t - 60 = 0
Factor easily to
(t-12) (t+5) = 0
the positive solution is all we want here
t = 12 days, the first guy working alone
then
the shirker would struggle thru the job in 20 days.
Answer:7 + 17 = 24÷2 (since there are 2 workers) =12. Also, ½(7) + ½17 = 3.5 + 8.5 = 12. So, we know that the faster worker will take 7 days and the slower worker will take 17 days. Hope this helps! jul15

1/6+4/18 in simplest form
Answer:
7/18
Step-by-step explanation:
1/6 x 3 = 3/18
3/18 + 4/18 = 7/18
Answer:
7/18
Step-by-step explanation:
Make the denominators the same!
You can turn 1/6 into 3/18 by multiplying the numerator and denominator by 3. Then you add the numerators of 3/18 and 4/18 together to get 7/18.

Find two consecutive even numbers whose sum is 758.
Answer:
378 and 380
Step-by-step explanation:
The two even consecutive numbers that add up to 758 are going to be very close to half of 758. This is because two half of 758 are going to be the most similar addends of 758. This is important because the answers will be consecutive and therefore, must also be very similar. To solve, first, divide 758 by 2. This is 379, which is not an even number. So, to find the needed addends subtract and add 1 to 379. Both of these will be even and consecutive. These two numbers are 378 and 380. Then, to check you, can add them and see that they do sum 758.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the first number = x
Let the second number = x + 2
x + x + 2 = 758 Collect like terms
2x + 2 = 758 Subtract 2
2x = 758 - 2 Combine
2x = 756 Divide by 2
2x/2 = 756/2
x = 378
The first number is 378
The second number 380
If your teacher is really fussy, you can do it this way.
Let the first number = 2x
Let the second number = 2x + 2
The reason for this is to guarantee that both numbers were even to start with.
2x + 2x+2 = 758 Combine like terms
4x + 2 = 758 Subtract 2
4x = 756 Divide by 4
x = 756/4
x = 189
Therefore 2x = 378
2x + 2 = 380 Just as before.

On January 2, 2008, the American Idol website (www .americanidol) conducted an online poll that asked respondents which contestant they liked best among six former contestants. To become part of the sample, respondents simply clicked on a response. Of the 941,434 responses to this poll, 55% voted for Clay Aiken. We can conclude that _________________________________ .
a. the sample is too small.
b. a fraction of the millions of people who watched the TV show to draw any conclusion.
c. most Americans prefer Clay Aiken out of those former contestants.
d. the poll uses voluntary response, so the results tell us little about the population of all adults.
Answer:
Online Poll
We can conclude that
c. most Americans prefer Clay Aiken out of those former contestants.
Step-by-step explanation:
Sample responses received from the poll = 941,434
Proportion of voters for Clay Aiken = 55%
Computed proportion of voters for the other 5 contestants = 45% (100% - 55%)
This gives an average of 7.5% (45%/5) for the other 5 contestants.
Therefore, the conclusion is that "most Americans prefer Clay Aiken out of those former contestants" in the American Idol contest.
According to the graph of the rational function y equals 4 over the quantity x squared minus 4 end quantity which of the following statements is/are true? The function is even. The function is increasing for all values in the domain. There is a horizontal asymptote along the x-axis. I only I and II only I and III only I, II, and III
Using function concepts, it is found that the correct options are:
I and III only
--------------------------------
The function is:
[tex]y = \frac{4}{x^2 - 4}[/tex]
--------------------------------
Statement 1:
A function is even if: [tex]f(x) = f(-x)[/tex]
We have that:
[tex]f(x) = \frac{4}{x^2 - 4}[/tex]
[tex]f(-x) = \frac{4}{(-x)^2 - 4} = \frac{4}{x^2 - 4} = f(x)[/tex]
Since [tex]f(x) = f(-x)[/tex], the function is even, and the statement is true.
--------------------------------
Statement 2:
The function increases when: [tex]f^{\prime}(x) > 0[/tex]
The derivative is:
[tex]f^{\prime}(x) = \frac{-8x}{(x^2-4)^2}[/tex]
The denominator is always positive, but the numerator can be both positive/negative, which means that when the numerator is negative(x > 0), the derivative will be negative, thus the function will decrease and the statement is false.
--------------------------------
Statement 3:
A horizontal asymptote is given by:
[tex]y = \lim_{x \rightarrow \infty} f(x)[/tex]
In this question:
[tex]y = \lim_{x \rightarrow \infty} \frac{4}{x^2 - 4} = \frac{4}{\infty - 4} = \frac{4}{\infty} = 0[/tex]
y = 0 is the x-axis, thus, the statement is true, and the correct option is:
I and III only

Rules for multiplying exponents
Answer and Step-by-step explanation:
When multiplying exponents:
- Product of Powers: When the base of the exponents are the same, and the bases are being multiplied to each other, the exponents are added together.
Example: [tex]a^x + a^y = a^{x+y}[/tex]
- Different bases Same Exponents: When the bases of the exponents are different, but the exponents are the same, the bases multiply together (within a parenthesis) with the exponent on the parenthesis.
Example: [tex]a^x*b^x = (a*b)^x[/tex]
- Quotient of Powers: When the base of the exponents are the same, and they are being divided by each other, the exponents will subtract from each other.
Example: [tex]\frac{a^x}{a^y}= a^{x-y}[/tex]
- Power of a Power: When a base has an exponent, and that entire term has and exponent, the exponents multiply together.
Example: [tex](a^x)^y = a^{x*y}[/tex]
- Power of a Product: The opposite of Different bases Same Exponents. Distribute the exponent onto the different bases.
Example: [tex](ab)^x = a^x*b^x[/tex]
- Power of a Quotient: The opposite of Quotient of Powers. Distribute the exponent to the dividing bases.
Example: [tex](\frac{a}{b} )^x = \frac{a^x}{b^x}[/tex]
- Zero Power: Any number raised to the 0 power equals 1.
Example: [tex]a^0 = 1\\999999^0=1[/tex]
- Negative Exponent: Any number raised by a negative number goes to the denominator of a fraction (if not already in the denominator), and vise versa (goes to the numerator if not already in the numerator).
Example: [tex]a^-2 = \frac{1}{a^2} \\\\\frac{1}{b^-3} = b^3[/tex]
- Power of One: Any number raised to the power of 1 is the same number.
Example: [tex]a^1 = a\\\\999^1 = 999[/tex]

Find the value of x round to the nearest tenth.
9514 1404 393
Answer:
117.9°
Step-by-step explanation:
Solving the Law of Cosines equation for C, we get ...
C = arccos((a² +b² -c²)/(2ab))
Filling in the values from the figure, we find the angle X to be ...
X = arccos((y² +z² -x²)/(2yz)) = arccos((55² +50² -90²)/(2·55·50))
X = arccos(-2575/5500) ≈ 117.9°

Answer:
25 cm.
Step-by-step explaination:
Given,
Two sides of a triangle:
a = 7cm
b = 24 cm
To find,
Third side:
c = ?
By Pythagorean Theorem;
a² + b² = c²
[where c is the longest side,hypotenuse]
Putting the value of a and b;
we get,
7² + 24² = c²
49 + 576 = c²
625 = c²
25² = c² (square root)
25 = c
c = 25
Therefore, the length of the third side will be equal to 25 cm.

Answer:
(8x - 21) / (2x + 7)(2x - 7)
Step-by-step explanation:
7 / (4x^2 - 49)+ 4 / (2x + 7)
= 7 / (2x + 7)(2x - 7) + 4 / (2x + 7)
LCM = (2x + 7)(2x - 7) so we have
(7 + 4(2x - 7) / (2x + 7)(2x - 7)
= (8x - 21) / (2x + 7)(2x - 7).
Decompose -6x/(x+2)(x+8) into partial fractions.
The partial fraction expansion takes the form
-6x/((x + 2) (x + 8)) = a/(x + 2) + b/(x + 8)
Both factors in the denominator are linear, so the numerators in the corresponding partial fractions have degree 1 - 1 = 0 and are thus constants.
Combine the fractions on the right side into one with a common denominator, then set the numerators on both sides of the equation equal to each other:
-6x = a (x + 8) + b (x + 2)
Expand the right side and collect terms by powers of x :
-6x = (a + b) x + (8a + 2b)
It follows that
a + b = -6 and 8a + 2b = 0
==> a = -2 and b = 8
So we end up with
-6x/((x + 2) (x + 8)) = -2/(x + 2) + 8/(x + 8)

Assume that the mean hecaht of soldiers is 166cm
with a standard deration of 8. cm.
soldeers in a regiment of 1000 would you expect to
be over 177 cm tall.
Answer:
85
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that :
Mean height , μ = 166
Standard deviation, σ = 8
Sample size, n = 1000
Using the Zscore formula :
Zscore = (x - μ) / σ
x = 177
Z = (177 - 166) / 8
Z = 1.375
P(Z > 1.375) = 0.084566(Area to the right of Z)
P(Z > 1.375) * n
0.084566 * 1000 = 84.566 = 85 soldiers
The graph of [tex]y = ax^2 + bx + c[/tex] is a parabola. The axis of symmetry is [tex]x = -b/2a[/tex]. What are the coordinates of the vertex?
The vertex can be written as:
(-b/2a, b^2/(4*a) - b^2/2a + c)
For a general parabola:
y = a*x^2 + b*x + c
We can write the vertex as:
(h, k)
The x-value of the vertex is the value of the axis of symmetry.
Then we have:
h = x = -b/2a
Now we need to find the y-value of the vertex.
To do that, we just replace the variable "x" by the x-value of the vertex in our equation, so we get:
k = y = a*(-b/2a)^2 + b*(-b/2a) + c
k = b^2/(4*a) - b^2/2a + c
Then the coordinates of the vertex are:
(h, k) = (-b/2a, b^2/(4*a) - b^2/2a + c)

Answer:
5/33
Step-by-step explanation:
The probability of selecting a white marble is 4/12 = 1/3(because we have 4 white marbles and 12 marbles in total )
The probability of selecting a blue marble is 5/11 (because we have 5 blue marbles and 11 marbles left(1 has been drawn already) )
Probability of selecting a white and then blue marble equals 1/3*5/11 = 5/33
