There are two cameras that take pictures of a traffic intersection. Camera A starts taking pictures at 6 AM and takes a picture

every 11 minutes. Camera B starts taking pictures at 7 AM and takes pictures every 7 minutes. Camera A and Camera B take a picture at the same time at four different times before noon. When Camera A and Camera B take their last picture together, how many minutes before noon is it?

Answer:

41 minutes before noon

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

The time camera A starts taking pictures = 6 AM

The frequency of picture taking by camera A = Once every 11 minutes

The time camera B starts taking pictures = 7 AM

The frequency of picture taking by camera B = Once every 7 minutes

The number of times both cameras take a picture at the same time before noon = 4 times

Let the time the two cameras first take a picture the same time be x, we have;

11·y - 60 = x

7·z = x

Taking the number of times after 7 camera A snaps and noting that the first snap is 6 minutes after 7, we have

11·b + 6 = x

7·z = x

x is a factor of 7 and 11·b + 6 and x is some minutes after 7

By using Excel, to create a series of values for Camera A based, on 11·b + 6, and dividing the results by 7 we have the factors of 7 at;

28, 105, 182, and 259 minutes after 7

Given that there are 60 minutes in one hour, we have;

259/60 = 4 hours 19 minutes, which is 11:19 a.m. or 41 minutes before noon.

1) 3 (x - y)² - 10 (x-y) + 8

katovenus [111]

Answer:

$(3x-3y-4)(x-y-2)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given expression:

$3(x-y)^2-10(x-y)+8$

Let u = (x - y):

$\implies 3u^2-10u+8$

To factor a quadratic in the form $ax^2+bx+c$ find two numbers that multiply to $ac$ and sum to $b$ :

$\implies ac=3 \cdot 8=24$

$\implies b=-10$

Therefore, the numbers are: -6 and -4.

Rewrite $b$ as the sum of these two numbers:

$\implies 3u^2-6u-4u+8$

Factor the first two terms and the last two terms separately:

$\implies 3u(u-2)-4(u-2)$

Factor out the common term (u - 2):

$\implies (3u-4)(u-2)$

Substitute back in u = (x - y):

$\implies (3(x-y)-4)((x-y)-2)$

Simplify:

$\implies (3x-3y-4)(x-y-2)$

3. Angles X and Y have a sum of 159 degrees. Angle X is 43 degrees smaller than angle Y.

Lesechka [4]

$\underline{\underline{\large\bf{Solution:-}}}\\$

$\longrightarrow$ Since angle X and Y have a sum of 159

$\implies \bf Y + X= 159 \_\_\_\_(1)$

$\longrightarrow$ Since X is 43 degrees smaller than Y , so subtracting X from Y would give 43 , therefore equation will be written as -

$\implies \bf Y - X = 43 \_\_\_\_(2)$

<u>Adding Equation (1) and (2) </u>

$\begin{gathered}\\\implies\quad \sf Y+X+Y-X = 159+43 \\\end{gathered}$

$\begin{gathered}\\\implies\quad \sf Y+Y + X-X = 202 \\\end{gathered}$

$\begin{gathered}\\\implies\quad \sf 2Y = 202 \\\end{gathered}$

$\begin{gathered}\\\implies\quad \sf Y = \frac{202}{2} \\\end{gathered}$

$\begin{gathered}\\\implies\quad \boxed{\sf {Y = 101 }} \\\end{gathered}$

<u>Putting Y in eq (1)</u>

$\begin{gathered}\\\implies\quad \sf X + 101 = 153 \\\end{gathered}$

$\begin{gathered}\\\implies\quad \sf X = 153-101 \\\end{gathered}$

$\begin{gathered}\\\implies\quad \boxed{\sf{ X = 52 }}\\\end{gathered}$
