Answer: 8 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the time before they meet ( in hours)

Speed of Sam = 12 mph

Sped of Fred = 9 mph

Distance = Speed × time

Distance covered by Sam in x hours = 12x

Distance covered by Fred in x hours = 9x

                                              <em>  (Distance)     (rate1) (time1)          (rate2) (time2)</em>  

Total distance between them: 168             =     12      x        +      9    x

\Rightarrow\ 168= 21x\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=\dfrac{168}{21}=8

Hence,  the number of hours before they meet if Sam runs 12 mph and Fred runs 9 mph. = 8

Let's take a peek at the denominators first off, and do a "prime factoring" on them.

25 = 5 * 5

27 = 3 * 3 * 3

45 = 3 * 3 * 5

the numbers in bold are repeated there more than once among the factors, and therefore we'll use them once, so our LCD will be 5 * 5 * 3 * 3 * 3, or 675.

\bf \stackrel{Alaska}{\cfrac{4}{25}}~+~\stackrel{Texas}{\cfrac{2}{27}}~+~\stackrel{California}{\cfrac{2}{45}}~~ \stackrel{LCD~675}{\implies }~~ \cfrac{(27)4~+~(25)2~+~(15)2}{675}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;\cfrac{108+50+30}{675}\implies \cfrac{188}{675}

cricket20 [7]

Answer:

At price 3 and 11, the profit will be $0

Step-by-step explanation:

I think your question is missed of key information, allow me to add in and hope it will fit the original one.  

<em> A certain companies main source of income is a mobile app. The companies annual profit (in millions of dollars) as a function of the app’s price (in dollars) is modeled by P(x)=-2(x-3)(x-11) which app prices will result in $0 annual profit?</em>

My answer:

Given:

  • x is the app price
  • P(x) is the profit earned

If we want to find out the app price that will result in $0 annual profit? It means we need to set the function:

P(x)=-2(x-3)(x-11) = 0

<=> (x-3)(x-11)= 0

<=> x - 3 = 0 or x - 11=0

<=> x = 3 or x = 11

So at price 3 and 11, the profit will be $0

Hope it will find you well.

To find the inverse function, swap x x and y y , and solve the resulting equation for x x . If the initial function is not one-to-one, then there will be more than one inverse. So, swap the variables:

y=−x2−36 y = − x 2 − 36

becomes

x=−y2−36 x = − y 2 − 36 .

Now, solve the equation

x=−y2−36 x = − y 2 − 36 for y y .

y=−x−36‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾√ y = − x − 36y=−x−36‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾√ y = − − x − 36

ANSWER y=−x−36‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾√ y = − x − 36 y=−−x−36‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾√
