Well, their speeds are (

is Jack's speed, and

is Richard's.

They, together, can paint 12 houses in 35 days. To get a single house, we only have to calculate

which is very close to 3 (a bit below)
Answer:
x= -11/4 is a maximum.
Step-by-step explanation:
Remember that a function has its critical points where the derivative equal zero. Therefore we need to compute the derivative of this function and find the points where the derivative is zero. Using the chain rule and the product rule we get that

And then we get that if
then
. So it has a critical point at
.
Now, if the second derivative evaluated at that point is less than 0 then the point is a maximum and if is greater than zero the point is a minimum.
Since
x= -11/4 is a maximum.
Answer:
111 m²
Step-by-step explanation:
A rectangle is a quadrilateral (has four sides and four angle) with two pairs of parallel sides. Opposite sides of a rectangle are equal to each other. Also all the angles of a rectangle are 90° each.
The area of a rectangle = length * width
For rectangle 1, length = 12 m, width = 3 m
Therefore area of rectangle 1 = length * width = 12 m * 3 m = 36 m²
For rectangle 2, length =(12 m - 3 m - 3 m) = 6 m, width =(15 m - 10 m) =5 m
Therefore area of rectangle 2 = length * width = 6 m * 5 m = 30 m²
For rectangle 3, length = 15 m, width = 3 m
Therefore area of rectangle 3 = length * width = 15 m * 3 m = 45 m²
Area of composite shape = Area of rectangle 1 + Area of rectangle 2 + Area of rectangle 3
Area of composite shape = 36 m² + 30 m² + 45 m² = 111 m²
A. 35 because of you look at the line plot it explains how long student are in there for and how many times a day. So you just need to figure out how many students do hw for how long and then multiply that by 10.
