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.

Solve the following equation on the interval [0, 2π). tan^2x sin x = tan^2x
Alenkasestr [34]
<h3>Given</h3>

tan(x)²·sin(x) = tan(x)²

<h3>Find</h3>

x on the interval [0, 2π)

<h3>Solution</h3>

Subtract the right side and factor. Then make use of the zero-product rule.

... tan(x)²·sin(x) -tan(x)² = 0

... tan(x)²·(sin(x) -1) = 0

This is an indeterminate form at x = π/2 and undefined at x = 3π/2. We can resolve the indeterminate form by using an identity for tan(x)²:

... tan(x)² = sin(x)²/cos(x)² = sin(x)²/(1 -sin(x)²)

Then our equation becomes

... sin(x)²·(sin(x) -1)/((1 -sin(x))(1 +sin(x))) = 0

... -sin(x)²/(1 +sin(x)) = 0

Now, we know the only solutions are found where sin(x) = 0, at ...

... x ∈ {0, π}
