Answer:

Option D. 20 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

It has been given in the question that distance between the shore of a lake is 3 miles.

Speed of Jim is 4 mph and speed of John is 5 mph.

Let they meet after time t hours.

Therefore distance traveled by Jim in t hours = 4×t miles

and distance traveled by John in t hours = 5×t miles

Total distance they cover = 3 miles.

Now 4t + 5t = 3

9t = 3

t = 3/9 hours.

t = (3×60)/9 minutes.

t = 20 minutes.

Answer is they will meet after 20 minutes.

Please please help 100 points

We're given

\displaystyle \int_4^{-10} g(x) \, dx = -3

which immediately tells us that

\displaystyle \int_{-10}^4 g(x) \, dx = 3

In other words, swapping the limits of the integral negates its value.

Also,

\displaystyle \int_4^6 g(x) \, dx = 5

The integral we want to compute is

\displaystyle \int_{-10}^6 g(x) \, dx

which we can do by splitting up the integral at x = 4 and using the known values above. Then the integral we want is

\displaystyle \int_{-10}^6 g(x) \, dx = \int_{-10}^4 g(x) \, dx + \int_4^6 g(x) \, dx = 3 + 5 = \boxed{8}
