Answer:

There is a formula for this:

[Worker 1 Time * Worker 2 Time] / [Worker 1 Time + Worker 2 Time]

[2 * 1.5] / [2 + 1.5] = 3.0 / 3.5

= 0.8571428571 Hours =

51.43 minutes

Both Jenna and Juan are INCORRECT.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1 job / 2 hours + 1 job / 1.5 hours = 1 job / x  When they work together.

1/2 + 1/1.5 = 1/x                Basic Equation. Change to decimal form

0.5 + 0.6666 = 1/x          Add like terms on the left

1.1666666 = 1/x              Multiply by x on both sides.

1.1666667 x = 1               Divide by 1.16666667

x = 1 / 1.166667               Do the division.

x = 0.8571428              

x = 6/7 of an hour.

This kind of question will <em>always</em> produce an answer that is less than the smallest number.

So the answer must be smaller than 2 hours or 1.5 hours.

Use limits to find the area of the region bounded by the graph f(x)=4-2x^3 , the x-axis , and the vertical lines x=0 and x=1
gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

\frac{7}{2} square units.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to use limits to find the area of the region bounded by the graph f(x) = 4 - 2x^{3} , the x-axis, and the vertical lines x=0 and x=1.

So, the area will be

A = \int\limits^1_0 {(4 - 2x^{3})} \, dx

= [4x - \frac{x^{4}}{2} ]^{1} _{0}

= 4 - \frac{1}{2}

= \frac{7}{2} square units. (Answer)

Savings account with 200$ and receive 4% interest for 7 years, how much would be in the account?
Fantom [35]

Answer:

256

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate these kinds of things, I multiply the principal (200), the interest rate (0.04) and the time (7). This results in 56. However, since the question is how much would be in the account, it would be 200+56 which is 256.
