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

Answer:

Not a function.

Does not pass vertical line test.

B.

Step-by-step explanation:

Something called a vertical line test is used to determine if a relation that has been graphed is a function or not.

We say if it passes then it is a function.

It will pass if you are able to draw infinitely many vertical lines covering the whole graph and each vertical line either touches your relation once or none.  

If a single vertical line that you draw touches more than once, then it isn't a function.

When I say draw, I don't mean you should physically do it, but more so imagine it.

Now this particular relation is not a function because I can find a vertical line that touches more than once.  Take the vertical line x=5 for example.

It will touch at (5,-6) and (5,6). You cannot have an x assigned to more than one y.
