The correct option is A which is Yixing should clean out the kennels, and Olivia should move the food bags.

<h3>What is an expression?</h3>

Numbers (constants), variables, operations, functions, brackets, punctuation, and grouping can all be represented by mathematical symbols, which can also be used to indicate the logical syntax's order of operations and other features.

All the parts will be solved below:-

a. Olivia has an absolute advantage as she takes less time for completing both the tasks

b. Olivia's opportunity cost of cleaning a kennel is

= 6 ÷ 6

= 1 bag of food moved.

c. Olivia's opportunity cost of moving one bag of food is

= 6 ÷ 6

= 1 kennel cleaned

d. Yixing's opportunity cost of cleaning a kennel is

= 10 ÷ 12

= 0.83 bags of food moved.

e. Yixing's opportunity cost of moving one bag of food is

= 12 ÷ 10

= 1.2 kennels cleaned

f. From the above calculations, we can see that the opportunity cost of kennel cleaning would be less sin Yixing so here Yixing should have a comparative advantage and Olivia should have moved the food bags

The complete question is given below:-

Olivia and Yixing are volunteering at a cat rescue shelter. The shelter supervisor asks them to clean out kennels and haul bags of cat food from the donation area into storage. It takes Olivia 6 minutes to clean out a kennel and 6 minutes to move a bag of food. It takes Yixing 10 minutes to clean out a kennel and 12 minutes to move a bag of food.

A. ____has an absolute advantage in completing both tasks.

B. Olivia's opportunity cost of cleaning a kennel:___bags of food moved.

C. Olivia's opportunity cost of moving one bag of food:_____kennels cleaned.

D. Yixing's opportunity cost of cleaning a kennel:____bags of food moved.

E. Yixing's opportunity cost of moving one bag of food:____kennels cleaned.

F. Yixing says it does not matter which task each of them performs because Olivia is faster at both tasks. Is she correct?

A) No, Yixing should clean out the kennels, and Olivia should move the food bags.

What should the next number be? 100 96 104 88 120 56
riadik2000 [5.3K]

100 ---> 96 is -4

96 ---> 104 is +8

104 ---> 88 is -16

88 ---> 120 is +32

120 ---> 56 is -64  

So first we go down by 4, then up by 8, then down 16, then up 32, then finally down 64.  

The pattern of numbers is: -4, +8, -16, +32, -64  

Notice it's the powers of 2:  

2^2 = 4

2^3 = 8

2^4 = 16

2^5 = 32

2^6 = 64

each term doubles. Also each term alternates in sign. One is positive, then the next is negative and so on.  

The last difference is -64, which doubles to -128. Change the sign to positive to get +128  

Add 128 to the last term of 56 to get

128+56 = 184  

Therefore, the final answer is 184

Which of the following expressions is a factor of the polynomial x 2 +3/2x-1
Elodia [21]

Answer:

\large \boxed{\sf \ \ \ (x+2)(x-\dfrac{1}{2}) \ \ \ }

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello,

let's solve

x^2+\dfrac{3}{2}x-1=0\\\\ 2x^2+3x-2=0 \ \text{multiply by 2}\\\\\\

\Delta=b^2-4ac=9+4*2*2=9+16=25

There are two solutions

x_1=\dfrac{-3-\sqrt{25}}{4}\\\\x_1=\dfrac{-3-5}{4}\\\\x_1=\dfrac{-8}{4}\\\\\boxed{x_1=-2}

And

x_2=\dfrac{-3+\sqrt{25}}{4}\\\\x_2=\dfrac{-3+5}{4}\\\\x_2=\dfrac{2}{4}\\\\\boxed{x_2=\dfrac{1}{2}}

So we can write

x^2+\dfrac{3}{2}x-1\\\\=(x-x_1)(x-x_2)\\\\=(x+2)(x-\dfrac{1}{2})

Hope this helps.

Do not hesitate if you need further explanation.

Thank you
