Answer:

<em>It takes them 1.875 hours.</em>

<em></em>

<em>Step-by-step explanation:</em>

<em></em>

<em>Here, the job is cleaning the house.</em>

<em></em>

<em>Mom does 1 job in 3 hours.</em>

<em></em>

<em>In 1 hour, mom does 1/3 of the job.</em>

<em></em>

<em>Dad does 1 job in 5 hours.</em>

<em></em>

<em>In 1 hour, dad does 1/5 of the job.</em>

<em></em>

<em>Mom and dad working together do the job in x hours.</em>

<em></em>

<em>In 1 hour, mom and dad together do 1/x of the job.</em>

<em></em>

<em>1/3 + 1/5 = 1/x</em>

<em></em>

<em>5/15 + 3/15 = 1/x</em>

<em></em>

<em>8/15 = 1/x</em>

<em></em>

<em>8x = 15</em>

<em></em>

<em>x = 15/8 = 1.875</em>

<em></em>

<em>Answer: It takes them 1.875 hours.</em>

Given that f(a+b)= f(a) + f(b) and f(x) is always positive, what os the value of f(0)?
FrozenT [24]
This is a strange question, and f(x) may not even exist. Why do I say that? Well..

[1] We know that f(a+b) = f(a) + f(b). Therefore, f(0+0) = f(0) + f(0). In other words, f(0) = f(0) + f(0). Subtracting, we see, f(0) - f(0) = f(0) or 0 = f(0).

[2] So, what's the problem? We found the answer, f(0) = 0, right? Maybe, but the second rule says that f(x) is always positive. However, f(0) = 0 is not positive!

Since there is a contradiction, we must either conclude that the single value f(0) does not exist, or that the entire function f(x) does not exist.

To fix this, we could instead say that "f(x) is always nonnegative" and then we would be safe.
