Answer:

\frac{5}{6} minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's find unit rate of each.

<u>Jada</u>

2 scoop in 5 minutes

So,

1 scoop in 5/2 = 2.5 minutes

<u>Noah</u>

3 scoop in 5 minutes

So,

1 scoop in 5/3 = 1.25 minutes

These are the times. Time and rate are inverses of each other. So the rates of each is:

Jada = 1/2.5 = 0.4

Noah = 1/1.25 = 0.8

Working together, we add the rates and find the time:

(0.4+0.8)*t = 1

1.2t = 1

t = 1/1.2 = \frac{5}{6} minutes

So, they take \frac{5}{6} minutes to eat one scoop, working together

Which is the minimum or maximum value of the given function? a. The function has a minimum value of -2 b. The function has a min
Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

The function f(x) is not given, I used a different function but the approach and steps is the same .

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Given the function f(x) = 2x2 - 8x + 5

compare with the normal quadratic equation ; ax2 + bx + c = f(x)

  • a = 2, b = -8 and c = +5
  • since a is greater than zero i.e a > o {positive}

As such, it has a minimum

hence for minimum value; x = -b/2a

x = -(-8)/2 x 2

x = 8/4 = 2

plugging the values of x in f(x) ; f(2) = 2(2)^2 -8(2) + 5

f(2) = -3, hence it has minimum value and the minimum value is -3
