Answer:

2 hours 15 minutes

2.25 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Maria's time by herself = x minutes

Let Miguel's time by himself = 2x minutes

You have to be careful how you set this equation up. Start with the right. The 1 represents the Job to be done. It takes 90 minutes.

The left hand side = 1/x which is the amount of time Maria (x) takes to do the job by herself. She doesn't do the job by herself.

Miguel helps her, so the portion he does is represented by 1/2x. Because he's helping, her time is cut back; he's doing some of the work.

1/x + 1/(2x) = 1/90 minutes

(2 + 1)/(2x) = 1/90 minutes

3/(2x) = 1/90 minutes

270 = 2x

x = 135 minutes.

It would take her 135 minutes to do the windows alone. That's 2 hours and 15 minutes.

Answer:For this case, the first thing we must do is define variables.

x: amount of time Miguel uses to complete the task.

y: amount of time Maria uses to complete the task.

We write the system of equations:

x + y = 60

y = (1/2) x

Solving the system we have:

x = 40 minutes

y = 20 minutes

Answer:

it take her to wash them by herself about:

y = 20 minutes

mote1985 [20]

Answer:

sqrt of 3m (sorry I can't figure out how to get the symbol)

Step-by-step explanation:

M+2n^2=7m

2n^2=7m-m

2n^2=6m

n^2=3m

n= sqrt(3m)

If cos(xy) = 3x+1 , find dy/dx

_______________


          dy
Find  ——  for an implicit function:
          dx

cos(xy) = 3x + 1.


First, differentiate implicitly both sides with respect to x. Keep in mind that y is not just a variable, but it is also a function of x, so you have to use the chain rule there:

\mathsf{\dfrac{d}{dx}\big[cos(xy)\big]=\dfrac{d}{dx}(3x+1)}\\\\\\
\mathsf{-\,sin(xy)\cdot \dfrac{d}{dx}(xy)=\dfrac{d}{dx}(3x)+\dfrac{d}{dx}(1)}


Apply the product rule to differentiate that term at the left-hand side:

\mathsf{-\,sin(xy)\cdot \left[\dfrac{d}{dx}(x)\cdot y+x\cdot \dfrac{dy}{dx}\right]=3+0}\\\\\\
\mathsf{-\,sin(xy)\cdot \left[1\cdot y+x\cdot \dfrac{dy}{dx}\right]=3}\\\\\\
\mathsf{-\,sin(xy)\cdot \left[y+x\cdot \dfrac{dy}{dx}\right]=3}

   

Now, multiply out the terms to get rid of the brackets at the left-hand
                                       dy
side, and then isolate  —— :
                                       dx

\mathsf{-\,sin(xy)\cdot y-sin(xy)\cdot x\cdot \dfrac{dy}{dx}=3}\\\\\\
\mathsf{-\,y\,sin(xy)-x\,sin(xy)\cdot \dfrac{dy}{dx}=3}\\\\\\
\mathsf{-\;x\,sin(xy)\cdot \dfrac{dy}{dx}=3+y\,sin(xy)}\\\\\\\\
\therefore~~\mathsf{\dfrac{dy}{dx}=\dfrac{3+y\,sin(xy)}{-\;x\,sin(xy)}\qquad\quad for~~x\,sin(xy)\ne 0\qquad\quad\checkmark}


and there it is.


I hope this helps. =)
