What effect does "a" have on the parent function y=1/x

Mathematics

Y=1/x is a reciprocal function & its shape is a special hyperbola with one branch located in the 1st Quadrant and the second in the 3dr Quadrant and both are symmetric about the origin O.
If a> 1 → y=a/x  and the 2 branches are equally stretched upward & downward
about the center O.
If  0 < a < 1→y =a/x, the 2 branches are equally stretched downward and upward about the center O.
If a<0, then the 2 legs are in the 2nd and 4th Quadrant respectively

A welder requires 18 hours to do a job. After the welder and an apprentice work on a job for 6 hours, the welder moves to anothe
Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

the apprentice can complete the job in 30 hours by working alone.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Number of hours required to complete a job by welder = 18 hours

Number of hours welder work on job = 6 hours.

Number of hours required by apprentice to complete the job = 14 hours

We need to find Number of hours required to complete a job by apprentice alone.

Solution:

Let Number of hours required to complete a job by apprentice alone be 'a'.

Also let the job completed be = 1

Now we know that ;

Time required on job is equal to sum of Number of hours welder work on job and Number of hours required by apprentice to complete the job.

framing in equation form we get

Time required on job =  6+14 =20\ hrs

Now we can say that;

each has done a fraction of the work so we will add to two fraction as number of hours of work done by Total number of hours required to do the work to complete 1 job.

so we can frame the equation as;

\frac{6}{18}+\frac{20}{a}=1

By reducing the fraction we get;

\frac{1}{3}+\frac{20}{a}=1

Now we will make the denominator common to solve the fraction we get;

\frac{1\times a}{3\times a}+\frac{20\times3}{a\times3}=1\\\\\frac{a}{3a}+\frac{60}{3a}=1

Now denominators are same so we will solve the numerator we get;

\frac{a+60}{3a}=1

Multiplying both side by 3a we get;

\frac{a+60}{3a}\times3a=1\times 3a\\\\a+60=3a

Combining the like terms we get;

3a-a=60\\\\2a=60

Dividing both side by 2 we get;

\frac{2a}{2}=\frac{60}{2}\\\\a=30\ hrs

Hence the apprentice can complete the job in 30 hours by working alone.

<span>(A) Find the approximate length of the plank. Round to the nearest tenth of a foot.
Given that the distance of the ground is 3ft.
In order to get the length of the plank,
we can use the this one.

cos 49 = ground / plank
cos 49 = 3 / plank
plank = cos 49 / 3
plank = 0.10 ft

</span><span>(b) Find the height above the ground where the plank touches the wall. Round to the nearest tenth of a foot.
</span><span>
The remaining angle is equal to
angle = 180 - (90+49)
angle = 41

Finding the height.
tan 41 = height / ground
tan 41 = height / 3
height = tan 41 / 3
height = 0.05 ft.

(A) 0.10 feet
(B) 0.05 feet</span>
