We can solve this problem by calculating the individual rate of working and equate it to their total rate of working.

If Dave can complete a sales route in 4 hours, then his working rate is

\frac{1}{4}

Also, if James can do it in 5 hours, then his working rate is

\frac{1}{5}

Let
x
be the hours that both will use to complete the sales route,

Then rate at which both completes this task is
\frac{1}{x}


Meaning if we add their individual rates we should get

\frac{1}{x}

That is;

\frac{1}{4} + \frac{1}{5} = \frac{1}{x}

The LCM is
20x

So let us multiply through with the LCM.

20x \times \frac{1}{4} + 20x \times \frac{1}{5} =20x \times \frac{1}{x}

5x + 4x = 20

We simplify to get,

9x = 20

Dividing through by 9 gives;

x = \frac{20}{9}

x = 2\frac{1}{9}

Therefore the two will complete sales route in
2 \frac{1}{9}
hours.

Can someone help me with B? I’m really bad at this kind of stuff. I need help ASAP
Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

D = .44P

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the slope of the line

m = (y2-y1)/ (x2-x1)

Using two points

m = (22-4.4) /(50-10)

   = 17.6/40

   = .44 lb/ in^2 ft

We can use the point slope form of the equation

y-y1 = m(x-x1)  where y=D and x=P

D-4.4 = .44 (P-10)

Distribute

D-4.4 = .44P - 4.4

Add 4.4 to each side

D -4.4+4.4 = .44P -4.4+4.4

D = .44P

Writing an equation of a probably given the vertex and focus
White raven [17]

The equation of the vertical parabola in vertex form is written as

y=\frac{1}{4p}(x-h)^2+k

Where (h, k) are the coordinates of the vertex and p is the focal distance.

The directrix of a parabola is a line which every point of the parabola is equally distant to this line and the focus of the parabola. The vertex is located between the focus and the directrix, therefore, the distance between the y-coordinate of the vertex and the directrix represents the focal distance.

p=1-6=-5

Using this value for p and (3, 1) as the vertex, we have our equation

y=-\frac{1}{20}(x-3)^2+1

EASY, answer this simple question :) *What kind of angles are 2 and 3?
IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

∠2   =  ∠3 is a pair of  Vertical Angles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Whenever two lines intersect with each other, the angle formed between them is called Vertically Opposite Angle.

Here, line l intersects the traversal so,

the angle formed between them  ∠1 and ∠4 are vertically opposite.

So, ∠1 =  ∠4

Also, as ∠1 +  ∠3 =  ∠2  + ∠4 = 180°  (LINEAR PAIRS)

So,  ∠3   =  ∠2 are also vertical angles.
