Rachel and her sister Fran together can paint the living room in \frac{10}{7} hours

Given that

Rachel can paint half of the living room in 1 hour

Fran can paint \frac{1}{5}th part of the living room in 1 hour

Let's assume together they paint the living room in x hours

⇒ together they can paint \frac{1}{x}th part of the living room in 1 hour

By proportions,

⇒\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{5}= \frac{1}{x} {using operation proportions and addition}

⇒\frac{7}{10}=\frac{1}{x}

⇒x=\frac{10}{7}        

⇒ together they can paint \frac{7}{10}th part of the living room in 1 hour

It means, Rachel and her sister Fran together can paint the living room in \frac{10}{7} hours

Find 9P9 and 9C9. Why do the answers differ?​
sveta [45]

We have been given two expressions 9P9\text{ and }9C9. We are asked to find the value of each.

To find 9P9, we will use permutations formula.

^nP_r=\frac{n!}{(n-r)!}, where

P = Number of permutations,

n = The total number of objects in the set,

r = Number of objects being chosen from the set.

9P9=\frac{9!}{(9-9)!}

9P9=\frac{9\cdot 8\cdot 7\cdot 6\cdot 5\cdot 4\cdot 3\cdot 2\cdot 1}{(0)!}

9P9=\frac{362880}{1}                   Using 0!=1

9P9=362880

To find 9C9, we will use combinations formula.

^nC_r=\frac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}, where

C = Number of combinations,

n = The total number of objects in the set,

r = Number of objects being chosen from the set.

9C9=\frac{9!}{9!(9-9)!}

9C9=\frac{9!}{9!(0)!}

9C9=\frac{9!}{9!\cdot 1}     Using 0!=1

Cancelling out 9!, we will get:

9C9=\frac{1}{1}

9C9=1

The answers differ because order. With permutations we care about the order of the elements, while with combinations we don't.

Write 3x^2-18x-6 in vertex form
Vedmedyk [2.9K]
The standard form of a quadratic equation is \displaystyle{ y=ax^2+bx+c, while the vertex form is:

                      y=a(x-h)^2+k, where (h, k) is the vertex of the parabola.

What we want is to write \displaystyle{ y=3x^2-18x-6 as y=a(x-h)^2+k

First, we note that all the three terms have a factor of 3, so we factorize it and write:

\displaystyle{ y=3(x^2-6x-2).


Second, we notice that x^2-6x are the terms produced by (x-3)^2=x^2-6x+9, without the 9. So we can write:

x^2-6x=(x-3)^2-9, and substituting in \displaystyle{ y=3(x^2-6x-2) we have:

\displaystyle{ y=3(x^2-6x-2)=3[(x-3)^2-9-2]=3[(x-3)^2-11].

Finally, distributing 3 over the two terms in the brackets we have:

y=3[x-3]^2-33.


Answer: y=3(x-3)^2-33
