The answer is 18.
Work:
[i]The range is the gap between the smallest value and the largest value. [/i]
The smallest is 68.
The largest is 86.
The gap between them is 86-68=18.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Although you can start with 4x^2-2x-4=0, it's just slightly easier to reduce the coefficients. 4x^2-2x-4=0 becomes 2x^2 - x - 2 = 0.
The discriminant (part of the quadratic formula) is b^2 - 4ac. Using b = -1. a = 1 and c = -2, we get (-1)^2 - 4(2)(-2), or 17.
-b ± √(b^2 - 4ac)
Then the quadratic formula x = ---------------------------
2a
-(-1) ± √17 1 ± √17
takes on the values x = ----------------- = ---------------

Answer:
0.15kg
Step-by-step explanation:
Given data
We are told that
0.75 kg of cortos weights 5times the mas of the onion
We want to find the mass of 1 onion
Hence
0.75 kgcortos = 5 onions
x cortos = 1 onions
x= 0.75/5
x= 0.15kg
Hence 1 onion will weigh 0.15kg
Answer:
84 seconds
Step-by-step explanation:
Because if you divide all of that you would get that answer
Answer:
Bobby around 131 minutes and Billy around 111 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve the problem it is important to raise equations regarding what happens.
They tell us that Billy (Bi) and Bobby (Bo) can mow the lawn in 60 minutes. That is to say that what they prune in a minute is giving as follows:
1 / Bo + 1 / Bi = 1/60 (1)
They say Billy could mow the lawn only in 20 minutes less than it would take Bobby, therefore
1 / Bi = 1 / (Bo-20) (2)
Replacing (2) in (1) we have:
1 / Bo + 1 / (Bo-20) = 1/60
Resolving
(Bo - 20 + B0) / (Bo * (Bo-20) = 1/60
120 * Bo - 1200 = Bo ^ 2 - 20Bo
Rearranging:
Bo ^ 2 - 140Bo -1200 = 0
Now applying the general equation
Bo = 130.82 or Bo = 9.17, <em>this last value cannot be because Billy took 20 minutes less and neither can he prune faster than the two together</em>, therefore Bobby only takes around 131 minutes and Billy around 111 minutes
Checking with equation 1:
1/131 +1/111 = ~ 1/60
