Susan is looking to hire a cleaning company to clean her house every week. One cleaning company's cost can be calculated by the

expression 75 + 50x, where x is the amount of hours they spend cleaning. Another cleaning company's cost can be calculated using the expression 50 + 75x. Susan wants to know how long each company will have to clean to cost the same amount. Group of answer choices 1 hour 2 hours the will never equal the same 7.5 hours

Answer:

<h3>A. 1 hour</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

If one cleaning company's cost can be calculated by the expression 75 + 50x, where x is the amount of hours they spend cleaning and another cleaning company's cost can be calculated using the expression 50 + 75x, then to calculate how long each company will have to clean to cost the same amount, we will equate both expression of the company cost and solve for x as shown;

On equating:

75 + 50x,  =  75x + 50

collect like terms'

50x-75x = 50-75

-25x = -25

divide both sides by -25

-25x/-25 = -25/-25

x = 1

hence the number of hours each company will have to clean to cost the same amount is 1 hour

Hello,

a)
I= \int\limits^{ \frac{\pi}{2} }_0 {sin^n(x)} \, dx = \int\limits^{ \frac{\pi}{2} }_0 {sin(x)*sin^{n-1}(x)} \, dx \\&#10;&#10;= [-cos(x)*sin^{n-1}(x)]_0^ \frac{\pi}{2}+(n-1)*\int\limits^{ \frac{\pi}{2} }_0 {cos(x)*sin^{n-2}(x)*cos(x)} \, dx \\&#10;&#10;=0 + (n-1)*\int\limits^{ \frac{\pi}{2} }_0 {cos^2(x)*sin^{n-2}(x)} \, dx \\&#10;&#10;= (n-1)*\int\limits^{ \frac{\pi}{2} }_0 {(1-sin^2(x))*sin^{n-2}(x)} \, dx \\&#10;= (n-1)*\int\limits^{ \frac{\pi}{2} }_0 {sin^{n-2}(x)} \, dx - (n-1)*\int\limits^{ \frac{\pi}{2} }_0 {sin^n(x) \, dx\\&#10;&#10;
I(1+n-1)= (n-1)*\int\limits^{ \frac{\pi}{2} }_0 {sin^{n-2}(x)} \, dx \\&#10;I= \dfrac{n-1}{n} *\int\limits^{ \frac{\pi}{2} }_0 {sin^{n-2}(x)} \, dx \\&#10;

Write the radical below in the simplest radical form<br><br> √210 <br><br> Pls show ur work
Anna [14]

Answer:

\sqrt{210}

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's look at the prime factors of 210.

210 = 2 * 3 * 5 * 7

\sqrt{210} = \sqrt{2 \times 3 \times 5 \times 7} = \sqrt{210}

Since no factor appears more than once, this radical cannot be simplified.

ASAP IM BEING TIME PLEASE!!
andre [41]

x° = 14°, y° = 14°; Use vertical and supplementary angles.

Step-by-step explanation:

The image of the answer is attached below.

In the given image two lines are parallel with transversal.

(9x + 12)° and ∠1 are vertically opposite angles.

Vertically opposite angles are equal.

∠1 = (9x + 12)°

Consecutive interior angles are supplementary.

(9x + 12)° + 3x° = 180°

⇒ 12x° = 168°

⇒ x° = 14°

Sum of the adjacent angles in a line are supplementary.

3x° + (4y – 10)° = 180°

⇒ 3(14)° + 4y° – 10° = 180°

⇒ 4y° = 148°

⇒ y° = 14°

Hence, x° = 14°, y° = 14°; Use vertical and supplementary angles.
