Answer: approximately 26.66667  minutes

This converts to 26 minutes, 40 seconds

=================================================

Explanation:

Let's say there are 360 newspapers that need to be delivered.

The two brothers can get the job done in 40 minutes if they work together. Their rate is 360/40 = 9 newspapers per minute.

Richie can do the full job alone in 90 minutes. So his rate would be 360/90 = 4 newspapers per minute. In 30 minutes, he delivers 30*4 = 120 newspapers. This leaves 360 - 120 = 240 left over.

Divide this over the rate of 9 papers per minute to get 240/9 = 26.66667 approximately. It takes about 26.66667 minutes to finish up delivering the 240 remaining newspapers if the brothers work together.

The portion 0.66667 multiplies with 60 to get 0.66667*60 = 40.0002 which rounds to 40 (we have rounding error going on). This means

26.66667 minutes = 26 minutes, 40 seconds

For a given data group, simple exponential smoothing is being used to forecast demand. The forecast of a given period is 110, wh
motikmotik

Answer:

The smoothing constant alpha is 0.20 (Option a)

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, first we write the succession of the simple exponential smoothing:

s_t=\alpha x_t+(1-\alpha)s_{t-1}

Where s(t) is the forecast for period t, s(t-1) is the forecast for period (t-1), xt is the real demand for period t, and alpha is the smoothing constant.

All but the alpha constant are known

s(t)=109.2

s(t-2)=110

xt=110-4=106

Then, we can calculate alpha as:

s_t=\alpha x_t+(1-\alpha)s_{t-1}\\\\109.2=\alpha*106+(1-\alpha)*110\\\\109.2=(106-110)\alpha+110\\\\(110-106)\alpha=110-109.2=0.8\\\\4\alpha=0.8\\\\\alpha=0.2

Find the measures of the supplementary angles that satisfy each case.
seropon [69]

Answer:

67.5°, 107.5°

Step-by-step explanation:

For supplementary angles, their sum equals 180°.

Let x be the first angle and y be the second angle, then

x + y = 180°.

It is given that x = y + 45°.

So x + y = 180°

substituting x into the equation, we have

y + 45° + y = 180°

simplifying, we have

2y + 45° = 180°

collecting like terms, we have

2y = 180° - 45°

2y = 135°

dividing through by 2, we have

y = 135°/2

y = 67.5°

Since y = 67.5°

then x = y + 45°

x = 67.5° + 45°

x = 107.5°

Can somebody help me with this ?? :)
Alex777 [14]

Answer:

Your answer would be D, the equation is a function because it is a polynomial and all polynomials are functions.

Step-by-step explanation:

I like to remember that polynomials have no negative , fraction exponents and no division. In this case everything is positive so I knew it was a polynomial , and like the answer says all polynomials are functions !

Hope this helped
