Answer:

14 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Ⓗⓘ ⓣⓗⓔⓡⓔ

Well, what I do for these problems is do 1/x with x being the amount of time given.

1/21+1/42=3/42

3/42=1/14

Together, they would take 14 minutes!

stiv31 [10]
All you have to do basically is make up an equation of your own and then plug in the numbers inplace of the variables  while still keeping the equation true.

The answer can be anything from : 8-4= 2+2
And all you had to do was simply plug in numbers to make it true. Hoped i helped!

Find an equation of the parabola y = ax2 + bx + c that passes through (0, 1) and is tangent to the line y = 4x − 4 at (1, 0).
larisa86 [58]
We are given the following:
          - parabola passes to both (1,0) and (0,1) 
<span>          - slope at x = 1 is 4 from the equation of the tangent line </span>

<span>First, we figure out the value of c or the y intercept, we use the second point (0, 1) and substitute to the equation of the parabola. W</span><span>hen x = 0, y = 1. So, c should be equal to 1. The</span><span> parabola is y = ax^2 + bx + 1 </span>

<span>Now, we can substitute the point (1,0) into the equation,
</span>0 = a(1)^2 + b(1) + 1 
<span>0 = a + b + 1
a + b = -1 </span>

<span>The slope at x = 1 is equal to 4 which is equal to the first derivative of the equation.</span>
<span>We take the derivative of the  equation ,
y = ax^2 + bx + 1</span>
<span>y' = 2ax + b 
</span>
<span>x = 1, y' = 2
</span>4 = 2a(1) + b 
<span>4 = 2a + b </span>

So, we have two equations and  two unknowns,<span> </span>
<span>2a + b = 4 </span>
<span>a + b = -1 
</span><span>
Solving simultaneously,
a = 5 </span>
<span>b = -6</span>

<span>Therefore, the eqution of the parabola is y = 5x^2 - 6x + 1 .</span>
