Answer: 8 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Anna can do a job in 4 days. After she has worked for 1 day, she is joined by Sylvia, and it takes them 2 days working together to finish the job.

Since Anna has already worked for 1 day, she would have worked the remaining days for 3 days. But she is joined by Sylvia, and it takes them 2 days working together to finish the job.

That is,

1/3 + 1/S = 1/2

Where S is the number of days Sylvia to do the job being completed in 2 days.

1/S = 1/2 - 1/3

1/S = (3 - 2)/6

1/S = 1/6

S = 6

The job Anna would have done for 3 days, will take 6 days for Sylvia.

The 1 days used by Anna will be 2 days for Sylvia.

Therefore, the total days that will take Sylvia to do the whole job by herself will be 2 + 6 = 8 days

Answer:

Horizontal Asymptote:    y=2

Vertical Asymptote: x=3

Step-by-step explanation:

One way: Look at graph

Look at for a horizontal or vertical line that both lines don't touch.

Second Way:

When you look for vertical asymptotes, you set the denominator equal to zero and solve.

For example, the second question has a denominator of x-3.

x-3=0

x=3 (This is the vertical asymptote)

When you look for horizontal asymptote, you do long division.

For example, the first question f(x)=\frac{2x}{x-3}

The answer will be 2. 2 is the quotient. You only want quotient not remainder.

y=2.

Solve the equation sine Ф=0.6792 for 0°≤Ф≤360
Sergio [31]

Answer:

42.78⁹, 137.22⁹.

Step-by-step explanation:

sine Ф=0.6792

Angle Ф in the first quadrant = 42.78 degrees.

The sine is also positive in the second quadrant so the second solutio is

180 - 42.78

= 137.33 degres.

Howdoyouwrite 2/4 as a percentage? write your answer using a percent sign %?
xz_007 [3.2K]
First, divide 2 by 4 which = 0.5
Next, move the decimal point two places over to make 0.5 = 50.0
Then, take 50.0 and add the % sign. This would make = 50%
I hope this helped!
