Answer: Time = 1.5hours or 1 hour 30minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

Carrie can inspect a case of watch in 5 hours

if n represent the task,

Carrie's rate C = n/5

James' rate J = n/3

Their combined rate is=n/5 + n/3 = 8n/15

Carrie After working one hour, he would have completed n/5 of the task.

Therefore, the remaining fraction of task is 4n/5

To complete the remaining fraction of task by the two of them, the time taken can be given as;

Work done = rate × time

Time = workdone/rate

Workdone = amount of task remaining = 4n/5

rate combined= 8n/15

Time = (4n/5)/(8n/15)

Time = 1.5hours or 1 hour 30minutes

Average rate of change help!!
frez [133]

Given that the function is f(x)=x^{3}-6 x^{2}+4 x+7

We need to determine the average rate of change over the interval 0 \leq x \leq 5

<u>Value of f(x) when x = 0:</u>

Substituting x = 0 in the function f(x)=x^{3}-6 x^{2}+4 x+7, we have;

f(0)=(0)^{3}-6 (0)^{2}+4 (0)+7

f(0)=0-0+0+7

f(0)=7

Thus, the value of f(0) is 7.

<u>Value of f(x) when x = 5:</u>

Substituting x = 5 in the function f(x)=x^{3}-6 x^{2}+4 x+7, we have;

f(5)=(5)^{3}-6 (5)^{2}+4 (5)+7

f(5)=125-150+20+7

f(5)=2

Thus, the value of f(5) is 2.

<u>Average rate of change:</u>

The average rate of change can be determined using the formula,

Rate \ of \ change=\frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}

where a=0 and b=5

Thus, we have;

Rate \ of \ change=\frac{f(5)-f(0)}{5-0}

Rate \ of \ change=\frac{2-7}{5-0}

Rate \ of \ change=\frac{-5}{5}

Rate \ of \ change=-1

Thus, the average rate of change over the interval 0 \leq x \leq 5 is -1.

Find the value of X and explanation please
worty [1.4K]
150 and the unknown angle next to it equal 180.

180 - 150= unknown angle
30 degrees= unknown angle

Then the triangle also equals 180 so we add the angles and solve for x

3x + 2x + 30= 180
5x + 30= 180
5x= 150
x= 30

3x= 3(30)= 90 degrees
2x= 2(30)= 60 degrees
