Answer:

6/5

Step-by-step explanation:

The average time you spent per problem for the first 20 problems is 25/20 = 5/4 minutes. There are 40 - 25 = 15 minutes remaining, and 30 - 20 = 10 problems remaining, so the average time per remaining problem is 15/10 = 3/2 minutes. Hence, you can spend

(3/2)/(5/4) = 6/5

times longer on the remaining problems.

The number of remaining problems is:
 30-20 = 10 problems.
 The amount of time remaining is:
 40-25 = 15minutes
 For the first 20 problems the time per problem is:
 t1 = 25/20 = 5/4 minutes
 For the remaining problems the time per problem is:
 t2 = 15/10 = 3/2 minutes
  Answer:
 
you will be able to spend about 3/2 minutes on each remaining problem

Can someone please help me work out this question i really don't understand ​
nadya68 [22]

Answer:

108 cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

rectangle   + 2  triangle = total area

L x W          + 2    *  1/2 base * height   = total area

(5x12)          + 2    *  1/2 * 12 * 4    = total area

  60              +   48    = 108 cm^2

Linear function am a little slow
Blababa [14]

Answer:

M= the slope. ( it would be the first one)

Step-by-step explanation:

In the equation y = mx + b for a straight line, the number m is called the slope of the line. Let x = 0, then y = m • 0 + b, so y = b. The number b is the coordinate on the y-axis where the graph crosses the y-axis. What is the coordinate on the y-axis where the graph of y = 2x + 3 crosses y-axis?

Let f be strictly convex. If f has a minimum, show that it is unique. (Hint: assume there are two minima x1, x2 and derive a con
IrinaK [193]

Answer: Ok, i will use the hint provided.

We call x1 and x2 to te two mínima of f, that is \frac{df}{dx} (x1) = 0, \frac{df}{dx} (x2) = 0.

The convexity condition says that, if f is differentiable, then the graph of f(x) lays above all the tangents between X and Y, if Y>X then

f(Y) \geq  f(X) + f'(X)*(Y-X) where f'(x) = \frac{df}{dx} (x).

then, if we took Y = x1 and X = x2, we have f(x1) \geq  f(x2) because f'(x2) = 0.

now if we took Y = x2 and X = x1,  we have f(x2) \geq  f(x1) because f'(x1) = 0.

Then, x1 = x2. Which implies that we only have one minima.
