So, we are given the y intercept, and since we know c is the same as the y value of the y intercept, we know that c=15.

From there we can pick any two of the points given to us to find our a and b.

Let's use (4,17) and (8,23) becase they are whole numbers.

17=16a+4b+15\\ 23=64a+8b+15 \implies \\ 2=16a+4b\\ 8=64a+8b \implies\\ 8=64+16b \\ 8=64+8b \implies \\ 0=8b \implies\\ b=0

So, with b=0, we can plug it back into the first equation to get:17=16a+4b+15 \implies\\ 2=16a \implies\\ a=\frac{1}{8}

So our quadratic is \frac{1}{8}x^2+15

A company has two types of machines, type R and type S. Operating at a constant rate, a machine of type R does a certain job in
SashulF [63]

Answer:

The number of machines to complete job in 2 hours is 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the relation of the rate of each one machine and knowing that adding up both rates.

  1. Rate R +Rate S= Rate total

Rate R = \frac{x}{36}  'x' is the job

Rate S = \frac{x}{18}  'x' is the job

So, using the equation of rates

        Rate total =\frac{x}{36} + \frac{x}{18}

Rate total is going to be a job in 2 hours so = \frac{1}{2}

\frac{1}{2} = \frac{x}{36}+\frac{x}{18} <em>adding up</em>

\frac{1}{2}= x*\frac{3}{36}  <em>factoring the x</em>

\frac{1}{2}= x*\frac{1}{12}  <em>simplifying</em>

x= \frac{12}{2} \\

x= 6

Can someone help me please​

Answer:

7/10

Step-by-step explanation:

I've attached an image on how you can use the diagram they gave you.

If you color in 7/10s and 7/12s you'll notice that 7/10s is greater.

This is because 1/10 of the whole is greater than 1/12 of the whole.

For 1/10, the whole is being divided into 10, so it equals 0.1.

On the other hand, in 1/12, the whole is being divided by 12, so a part equals 0.083

0.1 is greater than 0.083, so 7 of 0.1 is greater than 7 of 0.083

If x&lt;0 and y&gt;0, determine the sign of the real number x-y/xy ...?
Ludmilka [50]
If x<0 and y>0, then the sign of the real number x-y/xy would be positive. <span>If x is negative and y is positive then x-y is negative and xy is negative. A negative number  divided by another negative number would be positive. Hope this answers the question.</span>
