Answer:

It would take the clerical worker 6 hr to finish the job working alone.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the time taken( in hours ) by executive to finish the job when he works alone,

⇒ One hour work of the executive = \frac{1}{x}

According to the question,

Time taken by clerical worker to finish the job alone = 2x hours,

⇒ One hour work of the clerical worker = \frac{1}{2x}

Total work in one hour when they work together = \frac{1}{x}+\frac{1}{2x}

Now, it takes them 2 hr to finish the job together,

So, total work in one hour when they work together = \frac{1}{2}

\implies \frac{1}{x}+\frac{1}{2x}=\frac{1}{2}

\frac{2+1}{2x}=\frac{1}{2}

\frac{3}{x}=1

\implies x = 3

Hence, time taken by clerical worker to finish the job alone = 2(3) = 6 hours

The range of the function f(k) = k2 + 2k + 1 is {25, 64}. What is the function’s domain?
MAXImum [283]
<span>f(k) = k2 + 2k + 1 = (k+1)^2
The range is what the function gives to you f(k)=25=5^2 or (-5)^2
f(k)=64=8^2 or (-8)^2

You need to find the k values for these boundary values to find the domain. 
Good luck :)</span>

Step-by-step explanation:

formula:

y=k(x)

direct variation^^^

y=7, x=2

substitute it in the formula

7=(k)2 or 7=2k

7/2 or 3.5= k, k is the constant

now substitute k to the problem

y=5k

y=5(3.5)

y=17.5

Each year a car is worth 8% less than it was the year before. After 3 years, the car is worth $19,311.46. What was the original
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

$24,800

Step-by-step explanation:

If a car is worth 8% less after one year, then it is worth 92% of the original value.

original value = x

after 1 year: 0.92x

after 2 years: 0.92(0.92x)

after 3 years: 0.92(0.92(0.92x))

0.92³x = $19,311.46

x = $19,311.46/0.92³

x = $24,800
