If stewart and patrick can finish a science project together in 20 minutes, and Patrick works four times as quickly as Stewart,

how long would it take Patrick to complete the project alone?

Answer:

It would take 25 minutes for Patrick to complete the project alone.

Step-by-step explanation:

They did the project in 20 minutes, that is, 100% of the project, so:

x + y = 1

In which x is the percentage that Patrick worked and y is the percentage that Stewart worked.

Patrick works four times as quickly as Stewart, so x = 4y.

So

x + y = 1

4y + y = 1

5y = 1

y = 0.2

-----------

x = 4y = 4*0.2 = 0.8

Patrick did 80% of the project in 20 minutes. We can solve this problem by a simple rule of three, in which the time it would take for him to complete the project alone is 100%. So

20 minutes - 0.8

x minutes - 1

0.8x = 20

x = 25

It would take 25 minutes for Patrick to complete the project alone.

Answer:

x = 3.86

a = 5.86

Step-by-step explanation:

From the triangles attached,

By applying cosine rule in triangle 1,

cos(50)° = \frac{\text{Adjacent side}}{\text{Hypotenuse}}

cos(50)° = \frac{x}{6}

x = 6cos(50)°

x = 3.86

Now we apply sine rule in the second triangle,

sin(23)° = \frac{\text{Opposite side}}{\text{Hypotenuse}}

sin(23)° = \frac{a}{15}

a = 15sin(23)°

a = 5.86

faust18 [17]

Answer:

y - 6 = (-1/2)(x - 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

As we go from (4, 6) to (6, 10), x (the run) increases by 2 and y (the rise) increases by 4.  Thus, the slope of the line connecting these two points is m = rise / run = 4/2 = 2.

The slope of a line perpendicular to this one is the negative reciprocal of 2, which is -1/2.

Using the point-slope formula, we get the following equation for the perpendicular line:

y - 6 = (-1/2)(x - 4)   (  obtained using the point (4, 6)  )

Find the surface area of the right rectangular shown below hurry plss
laila [671]

Surface area of a cuboid

= [2(length)(width)] + [2(width)(height)] + [2(height)(length)]

= {[2(4)(2.5)] + [2(2.5)(2)] + [2(2)(4)]} units²

= (20 + 10 + 16) units²

= 46 units²

Find all x-intercepts and y-intercepts of the graph of the function . f(x) = - x ^ 3 + x ^ 2 + 12x If there is more than one ans
ololo11 [35]

Answer:

The y-intercept is (0,0)

The x-intercepts are (-3,0), (0,0), and (4,0)

Step-by-step explanation:

So we have the function:

f(x)=-x^3+x^2+12x

And we want to solve for the x- and y-intercepts.

Y)

To solve for the y-intercept, recall that the y-intercept is when the graph touches the y-axis. At that point, the x values is 0. Thus, to find the x-intercept, substitute 0 for x:

f(x)=-(0)^3+(0)^2+12(0)

Simplify:

f(x)=0

So, the y-intercept is (0,0)

X)

To solve for the x-intercept(s), set the function equal to 0 and solve for x:

0=-x^3+x^2+12x

First, factor out a negative x:

0=-x(x^2-x-12)

Factor within the parentheses:

0=-x(x-4)(x+3)

Zero Product Property:

-x=0\text{ or } x-4=0\text{ or } x+3=0

Divide by -1 on the first one. Add 4 on the second one. And subtract 3 on the right:

x=0\text{ or } x=4\text{ or } x=-3

So, our x-intercepts are:

(-3,0), (0,0), (4,0)

And we're done :)
