Answer:

They will take 6 minutes to do the job together.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

It is given that the time taken by one person to do a job is 15 minutes.

The time taken by another person to do the same job is 10 minutes.

Let T represent the time taken when they both work together.

Therefore the required equation is:

$\frac{1}{T}=\frac{1}{15}+\frac{1}{10}$

$\Rightarrow\frac{1}{T}=\frac{2+3}{30}$

$\Rightarrow\frac{1}{T}=\frac{5}{30}$

$\Rightarrow\frac{1}{T}=\frac{1}{6}$

$\Rightarrow T=6$

Hence, they will take 6 minutes to do the job together.

Simplify the expression. 12x^-6 y^10 times 3x^7 y

Vlada [557]

We need to simplify the expression:

$12x^{-6}y^{10} \times (3x^{7}y)$

Now, we know that we can resolve the exponents of the variables with the like terms only and we can multiply the coefficients independently:

Now,

$12x^{-6}y^{10} \times 3x^{7}y=(12 \times 3)\times (x^{-6}\times x^{7})\times (y^{10}\times y)$

On simplifying the above expression we get:

$36\times x^{(-6+7)}\times y^{(10+1)}$

$=36 \times x^{1}\times y^{11}$

$=36 \times x \times y^{11}$

$=36xy^{11}$

So the simplified form of the expression $12x^{-6}y^{10} \times 3x^{7}y=36xy^{11}$ .

Find which term in the geometric sequence 1,3,9,27,... is the first to exceed 7,000.

Zielflug [23.3K]

The common ratio between terms is 3, so the sequence has general $n$ -th term

$a_n=3^{n-1}$

for $n\ge1$ . The term exceeds 7000 when

$3^{n-1}>7000\implies n-1>\log_37000\implies n>1+\log_37000\approx9.06$

which means the first time $a_n$ exceeds 7000 occurs when $n=10$ . Indeed,

$a_{10}=3^{10-1}=19,683$

while the previous term would have been

$a_9=3^{9-1}=6561$

Solve step by step solution then only i can do it plxx

Answer:

<h3><u>Let's</u><u> </u><u>understand the concept</u><u>:</u><u>-</u></h3>

Here angle B is 90°

So $\triangle ABC$ and $\triangle ABD$ Are right angled triangle

So we use Pythagoras thereon for solution

<h3><u>Required Answer</u><u>:</u><u>-</u></h3>

First in triangle ABC

perpendicular=p=8cm

Hypontenuse =h =10cm

We need to find base=b

According to Pythagoras thereon

${\boxed{\sf b^2=h^2-p^2}}$

Substitutethe values

$\longrightarrow$ $\sf b^2=10^2-p^2$

$\longrightarrow$ $\sf b={\sqrt {10^2-8^2}}$

$\longrightarrow$ $\sf b={\sqrt{100-64}}$

$\longrightarrow$ $\bf b={\sqrt {36}}$

$\longrightarrow$ $\sf b=6$

$\therefore$ $\overline{BC}=6cm$

BD=BC+CD

$\longrightarrow$ $BD=9+6$

$\longrightarrow$ $BD=15cm$

Now in $\triangle ABD$

Perpendicular=p=8cm

Base =b=15cm

We need to find Hypontenuse =AD(x)

According to Pythagoras thereon

${\boxed {\sf h^2=p^2+b^2}}$

Substitute the values

$\longrightarrow$ $\sf h^2=8^2+15^2$

$\longrightarrow$ $\sf h={\sqrt {8^2+15^2}}$

$\longrightarrow$ $\sf h={\sqrt {64+225}}$

$\longrightarrow$ $\sf h={\sqrt {289}}$

$\longrightarrow$ $\sf h=17cm$

$\therefore$ ${\underline{\boxed{\bf x=17cm}}}$
