Answer:

4 people

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem is a compound rule of three problem. The variables are:

number of people, number of doors, amount of time

the amount of time increases if the number of doors decreases, but the amount of time decreases if the number of people increases.

We can solve this problem by parts (using two simple rule of three):

4 people can paint 10 doors in 2 hours

Let's first find how many people would take to paint 25 doors in 2 hours (we make the amount of hours constant, so the rule of three is between number of people and number of doors):

4 people -> 10 doors -> 2 hours

X people -> 25 doors -> 2 hours

4/X = 10/25

X = 25*4/10 = 100/10 = 10

It would take 10 people to paint 25 doors in 2 hours.

Now, we make a inverse rule of three between the number of people and amount of time:

10 people paint 25 doors in 2 hours, how many people paint 25 doors in 5 hours:

10 people -> 25 doors -> 2 hours

X people -> 25 doors -> 5 hours

10*2 = X*5

X = 20/5 = 4 people

lisov135 [29]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The two points can be made into a right triangle with the two sides defined by   two lines drawn from the two given points.  Use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve for the hypotenuse, the distance between the two points.  See attached graph.

6^2 + 2^2 = x^2

36 + 4 = x^2

x^2 = 40

x = 6.32

Let f be the function given by f(x) = x+4(x−1)(x+3) on the closed interval [−5,5]. On which closed interval is the function f gu
Vlad [161]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)=x+4(x^2+2x-3)=4x^2+9x-12

f'(x)=8x+9

f'(x)=0,gives x=-9/8

f(-5)=-5+4(-5-1)(-5+3)=-5+4*-6*-2=43

f(-9/8)=-9/8+4(-9/8-1)(-9/8+3)

=-9/8+4*-17/8*15/8

=-9/8-255/16

=-273/16=-17 1/16

f(5)=4*5^2+9*5-12=100+45-12=133

absolute maximum=133

absolute minimum=-17 1/16

We can convert 7/10 to a decimal first.

7/10 = 0.7

Now we can multiply this problem easier.

35 x 0.7 = 24.5
