Work in rates per hour. These rates can then be added to form an equation

1/13 + 1/10  = 1/x   where  x is the time for both working together

multiply thru by 130x:-

10 x+ 13 x =  130

x = 130/23 =  5.65 hours  or about  6 hours 39 minutes

Which of the following statements best describes the effect of replacing the graph of y = f(x) with the graph of y = f(x) - 13?
madam [21]

Answer: D) The graph of y = f(x) will shift down 13 units.​

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's define the transformations of translations.

If we start with a function f(x):

For A > 0.

An horizontal translation of A units to the right is written as g(x) = f(x - A)

An horizontal translation of A units to the right is written as g(x) = f(x + A).

A vertical translation of A units up is written as g(x) = f(x) + A

A vertical translation of A units down is written as g(x) = f(x) - A.

In this question we have the transformation:

y = f(x) - 13

This is a translation of 13 units down, then the correct option is:

D) The graph of y = f(x) will shift down 13 units.​

8 1/4 ÷d= 2/11 please give me the answer in fraction form
marusya05 [52]

Answer: 45 and 3/8

Step-by-step explanation:

8 and 1/4 = 8.25

8.25/d = 2/11

Multiply 2 x d and 8.25 x 11

2d = 90.75

Divide 90.75 by 2 = 45.375

.375 = 3/8

How can you check if two fractions are equivalent?
zimovet [89]

Step-by-step explanation:

Say you have these 2 fractions

\frac{a}{b} .........\frac{c}{d}

Cross multiply as following;

\frac{(b)(c)}{(a)(d)}=\frac{bc}{ad}

If in the end, both numerator and denominator are equal, then the fractions are equivalent.

Examples:

Example 1

\frac{20}{24}...........\frac{5}{6}

Cross multiply

\frac{(24)(5)}{(20)(6)}=\frac{120}{120}

They're equivalent.

Example 2

\frac{20}{24}........\frac{3}{4}

Cross multiply

\frac{(24)(3)}{(20)(4)} =\frac{72}{80}

They're not equivalent.

Neglecting air resistance and the weight of the propellant, determine the work done in propelling a four-ton satellite to the fo
balandron [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Work = force × distance

force = mass × acceleartion due to gravity

a four ton satellite will have a force of 4× 1000 ×10 = 40KN (1000Kg = 1 ton)

1 mile = 1609.34 metre

therefore (a) 100 miles above the earth

work = 40000 × 100×1609.34

= 6437360000J

=6.4GJ

(b) 300 miles above the earth

work = 40000×300×1609.34

= 1.93×10¹⁰ J
