Answer:

3 hours and 20 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Jack's rate is 1 puzzle for every 5 hours, so his rate per hour is 1/5 of a puzzle per hour.

We need to find the rate of his brother so here is our equation,

1/5 + 1/x = 1/2

1/2 - 1/5 =1/x

3/10 = 1/x

3/ 3x = 3/10

3x=10

x= 3 and 1/3 hours

3 hours and 20 minutes

<u>Verifying zeroes</u>

Q(-4) =

  • -4(-4)^3 + 7(-4)^2 - 24 =
  • 256 + 112 - 24 =
  • 344
  • Incorrect as 344 ≠ 0

Q(1) =

  • -4(1)^3 + 7(1)^2 - 24 =

The functions f(x) and g(x) are described below: f(x) = 7x + 9 g(x) = 7x −4 The graph of g(x) is obtained by shifting down the g
Slav-nsk [51]
Correct Answer:
Option A

Solution:

f(x) = 7x + 9
g(x) = 7x - 4

We can re-write g(x) as:

g(x) = 7x + 9 - 13

Since 7x+9 is equal to f(x), we can write:

g(x) = f(x) - 13

This relation shows that g(x) is obtained by shifting f(x) 13 units vertically down. So the correct answer is option A.

serg [7]
The fractions you're given can be simplified down, so you get (12 ÷ 3) 4 hours on Monday, (21 ÷ 3) 7 hours on Tuesday, and (22 ÷ 3) 7 1/3 hours on Wednesday. You can now add these up and get your answer as 18 1/3 hours, or 18.33.

I hope this helps!

Which is the angle of elevation from the submarine to the boat? &lt;1, &lt;2 ,&lt;4 &lt;3
grigory [225]

Answer:

<1

Step-by-step explanation:

When an observer is at the same level with the submarine, his line of sight above the horizontal upward to the boat would form an angle called the angle of elevation.

Thus, the angle of elevation from the submarine to the boat is marked as <1. <1 is the angle of elevation from the submarine.
