Answer:

4 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Let h represent the number of hours the high-power pump requires to fill the pool. Then the number of pools it can fill per hour is 1/h. The low-power pump can fill 1/(h+2) pools in an hour. Together, they can fill 1 pool in 1.2 hours:

1/h + 1/(h+2) = 1/2.4

h+2 +h = h(h+2)/2.4 . . . . . . . multiply by h(h+2)

4.8h +4.8 = h^2 +2h . . . . . . multiply by 2.4

h^2 -2.8h = 4.8 . . . . . . . . . . put in form suitable for completing the square

h^2 -2.8h +1.96 = 6.76 . . . add (2.8/2)^2 = 1.96 to complete the square

h - 1.4 = √6.76 . . . . . . . . . . take the square root of both sides

h = 1.4 +2.6 = 4 . . . . . . . . . hours

NEED HELP ASP
Nostrana [21]
<h3>Answer: B) $878.28</h3>

================================================

Explanation:

She starts off $16.75 in debt

Later on she deposits $16.75 to get completely out of debt and make the balance 0. This is after depositing the $5.72

So far her balance is $5.72

Add on $872.56 to get 5.72+872.56 = 878.28

-------------

This is what your steps may look like

-16.75 + (5.72 + 16.75)

-16.75 + (16.75 + 5.72)

(-16.75+16.75) + 5.72

(0) + 5.72

5.72

5.72+872.56

878.28

How do the gcf and the lcm help you when multiplying and adding or subracting fractions
kari74 [83]
<h3>Explanation:</h3>

GCF: the greatest common factor of numerator and denominator is a factor that can be removed to reduce the fraction.

  <em>Example</em>

The numerator and denominator of 6/8 have GCF of 2:

  6/8 = (2·3)/(2·4)

The fraction can be reduced by canceling those factors.

  (2·3)/(2·4) = (2/2)·(3/4) = 1·(3/4) = 3/4

___

LCM: the least common multiple of the denominators is suitable as a common denominator. Addition and subtraction are easily performed on the numerators when the denominator is common.

  <em>Example</em>

The fractions 2/3 and 1/5 can be added using a common denominator of LCM(3, 5) = 15.

  2/3 + 1/5 = 10/15 + 3/15 = (10+3)/15 = 13/15

Simplify the given expression below: (7-3i)•(2-i)
Dimas [21]

when multiplying two binomials together we use the F.O.I.L. method:

First

Outer

Inner

Last

(7-3i)(2-i)

First: 7 * 2 ..... Outter: 7 * -i .... Inner: -3i * 2 ...... Last: -3i * -i

First: 14 ...... Outter= -7i ..... Inner: -6i .... Last: 3i^2

putting this together we get 14-7i-6i+2i^2

We combine like terms and end up with 2i^2-13i+14
