[NOTE: NO OPTION MATCHES THE ANSWER because values provided are wrong but I have solved the qyestion with the given values for your understanding, If B and C will take 1/2 hours then the answer will be 1 that is Option E]

Answer:

Pumps A and B,

A + B = 5/6

Pumps A and C,

A + C = 3/2

Pumps B and C,

B + C = 2

Now we have to find

A + B + C = ?

For this we will add all of the above equations from both sides.

A+B + A+C +B+C = 5/6 + 3/2 + 2

Taking LCM on R.H.S,

2A + 2B + 2C = (5+9+12)/6

2(A+B+C) = 26/6

2(A+B+C)= 13/3

A+B+C = 13/6

It will take 13/6 hours if A,B and C are pumped simultaneously.

What are the coordinates of the endpoints of the segment T'V'? T'(-3, 6) and V'(0, 3) T'(-3, 6) and V'(0, 1) T'(-1, 2) and V'(0,
bazaltina [42]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The figure required in the question is missing, the figure can be found in attachment.

Transforming points T and V according to the rule (x,y) -> (3/4x, 3/4y), we get:

T(-4, 8) -> (-4*3/4, 8*3/4) -> (-3, 6) which corresponds to T'

V(0, 4) -> (0*3/4, 4*3/4) -> (0, 3) which corresponds to V'

Given p(x)= 3x+1 and r(x)= 2x^2+5 which of the following represents the composition p(r(x)) ?
Temka [501]

Step-by-step explanation:

substitute the values

px=3x+1

=(3x+1)/x

=3x/x +1/x

=3+1/x

rx=2x²+5

p(r(x)) =(3+1/x(2x²+5))

=6x²+15+2x²/x+5/x

=3(2x²+5)+1/x(2x²+5)

=(2x²+5)(3+1/x)

What is the solution for −40 = 10c? <br> A. c = 1 <br> B. C = -1 <br> C. c = -4 <br> D. c = 4
Aleks [24]

Answer:

C. c = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

you must get c by itself. you have to divide both sides by 10. this gets rid of the 10c and keeps both sides equal

-40/10 = c

c = -4
