Byron can fill a drying rack with dishes in 15 minutes. While Byron fills the drying rack, Emmitt takes dishes out of the drying

rack and puts them in bins. With Emmitt taking dishes out of the drying rack, it takes 35 minutes for Byron to fill the drying rack.
Which of the following can be used to determine the amount of time it takes for Emmitt to empty the drying rack if Byron is not adding dishes?

Choices -

1 over 15 minus 1 over 35 equals 1 over x
1 over 15 minus 1 over x equals 1 over 35
1 over 35 minus 1 over x equals 1 over 15
1 over 15 minus 1 over x equals x over 35

Answer:

Hi!

The correct answer is d) 1 over 15 minus 1 over x equals x over 35.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know the amount of time that Byron can fill a drying rack with dishes: 15 minutes.

We know the amount of time that Byron can fill a drying rack with dishes while Emmitt is taking dishes out of the drying rack: 35 minutes.

We don't know the amount of time that Emmitt can take dishes out of the drying rack: x minutes.

So, if Byron is filling the drying rack in 15 minutes and Emmitt is taking out the dishes at x minutes, it takes 35 minutes to fill the drying rack.

\frac{1}{15}-\frac{1}{x} = \frac{1}{35} <em>// multiply by 105x both sides.</em>

105x\frac{1}{15}-105x\frac{1}{x} =105x \frac{1}{35} <em>// simplifly</em>

7x - 105 = 3x<em> //substract 3x and add 105 in both sides</em>

7x - 3x - 105 + 105 = 3x - 3x + 105 <em>// solve</em>

4x =  105 <em>//</em> <em>divide by 4 in both sides</em>

\frac{4x}{4} =  \frac{105}{4} <em>// solve</em>

x =  26.25

It makes sense that Byron fills the rack faster than Emmitt empties the rack.

Suppose f(x) = x^2 and
SpyIntel [72]

Given:

The two functions are:

f(x)=x^2

g(x)=\left(\dfrac{1}{3}x\right)^2

To find:

The statement that best compares the graph of g(x) with the graph of f(x).

Solution:

The horizontal stretch is defined as:

g(x)=f(kx)            ...(i)

If 0, the function f(x) is horizontally stretched by factor \dfrac{1}{k}.

If k>1, the function f(x) is horizontally compressed by factor \dfrac{1}{k}.

We have,

f(x)=x^2

g(x)=\left(\dfrac{1}{3}x\right)^2

Using these functions, we get

g(x)=f\left(\dfrac{1}{3}x\right)         ...(ii)

On comparing (i) and (ii), we get

k=\dfrac{1}{3}

Since 0, the function f(x) is horizontally stretched by factor \dfrac{1}{\frac{1}{3}}=3.

Hence, the correct option is D.

3x² - 3x - 2× -2

3x² - 5× - 2

3x² + × - 6× - 2

× (3x + 1) -2 (3× + 1)

​ △BCD ​ is a right triangle. The length of the hypotenuse is 19 centimeters. The length of one of the legs is 13 centimeters.
zheka24 [161]
<span>here we can use Pythogoras' theorem.
in right angled triangles the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other 2 sides.
hypotenuse is 19 cm. One side is 13 cm and we need to find the length of the third side.
                                                                         
19</span>²<span> = 13</span>²<span> + X</span>²<span> 
X - length of the third side
                                                           
361 = 169 + X</span>²<span> 
X</span>²<span> = 361 - 169
                                                                     
X</span>²<span> = 192
                                                                             
X = 13.85 the length of third side rounded off to the nearest tenth is 13.9 cm</span>

The graph is misleading because the sizes compared to the percentages are off. a more appropriate way to show the data would be with a bar graph.
Hope this helps!
