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

Find two positive real numbers whose product is a maximum. the sum is 80
Eduardwww [97]
Let's say the numbers are "a" and "b"

thus \bf y=ab\qquad &#10;\begin{cases}&#10;a+b=80\\&#10;b=80-a&#10;\end{cases}\implies y=a(80-a)\implies y=80a-a^2\\\\&#10;-----------------------------\\\\&#10;\cfrac{dy}{da}=80-2a

set the derivative to 0, and check the critical points, there's only one anyway

and do a first-derivative test, to see if it's a maximum

An architect wants to draw a rectangle with a diagonal of 13 centimeters. The length of the rectangle is to be 3 centimeters mor
butalik [34]

Answer:

The rectangle is 3.2 cm by 12.6 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

See attached image for a diagram.

Choose <em>w</em> to represent the width because the length is described by referring to the width:  it's 3 more than (add 3) triple (multiplied by 3) the width.

Length = 3w + 3

The diagonal forms two right triangles, each with leg = <em>w</em>, other leg = 3<em>w</em> + 3, hypotenuse  =  13.

The Pythagorean Theorem says (\text{leg})^2+(\text{leg})^2=(\text{hypotenuse})^2 so

w^2+(3w+3)^2=13^2\\\\w^2+9w^2+18w+9=169\\\\10w^2+18w-160=0\\\\5w^2+9w-80=0\\

Now solve using the Quadratic Formula with a=5,\,b=9,\,c=-80.

w=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\\w=\frac{-9\pm\sqrt{81+1600}}{10}\\\\w=\frac{-9\pm\sqrt{1681}}{10}\\\\w=\frac{-9\pm41}{10}\\\\w=-5\text{ or }w=3.2

The negative root makes no sense as a distance, so the width of the rectangle is 3.2 cm. The length is 3(3.2) + 3 = 12.6 cm.
