Answer:

12:00 am midnight

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

I can read a 336-page book in 6 hours.

My rate r1 = 336/6 pages per hour = 56 pages per hour

Jayne can read a 144-page book in 3 hours.

Jayne rate r2 = 144/3 = 48 pages per hour

If I start reading a 5000-page book at noon and Jayne starts reading the same book at 10 AM

Taking 10 am as the reference time.

Let x represent the time from 10 am at which they would both be on the same page.

For me;

Since i started by noon; 2 hours after 10 am

Time t1 = x-2

For Jayne;

She started by 10 am

Time t2 = x

For them to be on the same page they must have read the same number of pages;

Number of pages read = rate × time

r1(t1) = r2(t2)

Substituting the values;

56(x-2) = 48(x)

56x - 112 = 48x

x(56-48) = 112

x = 112/(56-48)

x = 14 hours

Since 10 am is the reference, the time would be;

=10 am + x = 10 am + 14 hours

= 24:00

= 12:00 am midnight

Serjik [45]

Answer:

<h2>(h + k)(2) = 5</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

(h+k)(x)=h(x)+k(x)\\\\\bold{METHOD\ 1:}\\\\k(x)=x-2,\ h(x)=x^2+1\\\\(k+h)(2)=h(2)+k(2)\\\\\text{Calculate}\ h(2)\ \text{and}\ k(2).\\\text{Put}\ x=2\ \text{to the equations of the functions}\\\\h(2)=2^2+1=4+1=5\\k(2)=2-2=0\\\\\text\\\\\text{Substitute:}\\\\(h+k)(2)=5+0=5

\bold{METHOD\ 2:}\\\\k(x)=x-2,\ h(x)=x^2+1\\\\(h+k)(x)=h(x)+k(x)=(x^2+1)+(x-2)=x^2+x-1\\\\(h+k)(2)-\text{put}\ x=2\\\\(h+k)(2)=2^2+2-1=4+2-1=6-1=5

A pyramid has a square base with sides of length s. The height of the pyramid is equal to - of the length of a side on the base.
Vera_Pavlovna [14]
<h3><u>Question:</u></h3>

A pyramid has a square base with sides of length s. The height of the pyramid is equal to 1/2 of the length of a side on the base. Which formula represents the volume of the pyramid?

<h3><u>Answer:</u></h3>

<em><u>The formula represents the volume of the pyramid is:</u></em>

V=\frac{1}{6}s^3

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

<em><u>The volume of square pyramid is given by formula:</u></em>

V = \frac{1}{3} a^2h

Where, "h" is the height of pyramid

"a" is the length of side of base

Here given that, pyramid has a square base with sides of length s

Therefore,

a = s

The height of the pyramid is equal to 1/2 of the length of a side on the base

h = \frac{1}{2} \times s\\\\h = \frac{s}{2}

<em><u>Thus the volume of pyramid becomes:</u></em>

V = \frac{1}{3} \times s^2 \times \frac{s}{2}\\\\V = \frac{s^3}{6}

\boxed{V=\frac{1}{6}s^3}

Thus the  formula  represents the volume of the pyramid is \frac{s^3}{6}
