Answer:

6 Days

Step-by-step explanation:

Practically:

It takes,

10 Men ( complete ) 5 Copies --> 6 Days

So, 2 Men can complete 1 copy in 6 days.

Question asks us :

8 Men ( complete ) 4 Copies --> X Days

It will take 6 days because the proportion of men to copies is same as the first equation.

Theoretically:

10 Men 5 Copies 6 Days

8 Men   4 Copies  X Days

> 6/X = 8/10 ( If men decrease the number of days increase. So, it is an indirect proportion. ) . 5/4 ( If copies decrease the number of days decrease as well. So, it is a direct proportion. )

> 6/X = 8/10 . 5/4

> 6/X = 40/40

> 6/X = 1

<h2>> X=6</h2><h2></h2><h2><em>I hope it will be understood.</em></h2><h2><em>If I have any inaccuracies please let me know.</em></h2><h2><em>Have a nice day and never stop questioning!</em></h2><h3><em></em></h3>

Answer:

The number of days required for 8 men working to complete 4 copies of the books is 6 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Given As

The number of men (M1) = 10

The number of working days (D1) = 6  days

The work done (W1) = 5 copies

Again,

The number of men (M2) = 8

The number of working days (D2) = D2 days

The work done (W2) = 4 copies

∵  \frac{Men\times Day}{Work} = constant

So , \frac{M1\times D1}{W1} = \frac{M2\times D2}{W2}

or, \frac{10\times 6}{5} = \frac{8\times D2}{4}

Or, \frac{60}{5} = \frac{8\times D2}{4}

Or, D2 = \frac{12\times 4}{8}

∴  D2 = 6 days

Hence The number of days required for 8 men working to complete 4 copies of the books is 6 days    Answer

What is an equation of the line that passes through the point (2,−6) and is parallel to the line x−2y=8?
lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

y = x/2 - 7

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to find the slope of the given equation: x - 2y = 8

Subtract x from both sides

x - 2y = 8

- x        - x

-2y = 8 - x

Divide both sides by -2

-2y/-2 = (8 - x)/-2

y = -4 + x/2

The slope of this equation is 1/2

So the equation of our parallel equation is y = x/2 + b

We have to find b, so plug in the given coordinates

-6 = 2/2 + b

-6 = 1 + b

Subtract 1 from both sides

-6 = 1 + b

- 1    - 1

b = -7

Plug it back into the original equation

y = x/2 - 7

Answer:

  • 5(x +1.5)^2
  • 10(x +1)^2
  • 1/4(x +2)^2
  • 3(x +5/6)^2

Step-by-step explanation:

When your desired form is expanded, it becomes ...

  a(x +b)^2 = a(x^2 +2bx +b^2) = ax^2 +2abx +ab^2

This tells you the overall factor (a) is the leading coefficient of the given trinomial. Factoring that out, you can find b as the root of the remaining constant.

a) 5x^2 +15x +11.25 = 5(x^2 +3x +2.25) = 5(x +1.5)^2

b) 10x^2 +20x +10 = 10(x^2 +2x +1) = 10(x +1)^2

c) 1/4x^2 +x +1 = 1/4(x^2 +4x +4) = 1/4(x +2)^2

d) 3x^2 +5x +25/12 = 3(x^2 +5/3x +25/36) = 3(x +5/6)^2

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

If you know beforehand that the expressions can be factored this way, finding the two constants (a, b) is an almost trivial exercise. It gets trickier when you're trying to write a general expression in vertex form (this form with an added constant). For that, you must develop the value of b from the coefficient of the linear term inside parentheses.

Find the area of the shape, show work pls ill give brainiest
andre [41]

Answer:

6.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Although there's multiple ways to solve this problem, my method will be to simply find the area for the full triangle (the empty + orange triangles) and subtract the area of the smaller, empty triangle.

Now, you that area for a triangle is 1/2*base*height.

To find the measurements for the full triangle, you must add up the bases for the two smaller triangles:

Base_{total}  = Base_{empty} + Base_{orange}  \\Base_{total} = 1.9ft + 3.1 ft\\Base_{total} = 5 ft

Height is the same for both triangles so Height total = 4 ft.

Now the total area can be calculated:

Area total= 1/2* base_total * height_total

Area total = 1/2 * 5ft * 4 ft  

Area total = 20 / 2 = 10 ft squared

Lastly, subtract the area of the empty triangle from the total triangle to find the orange triangle.

Area Empty Triangle = 1/2 * base_empty * height_empty

Area Empty Triangle = 1/2 * 1.9ft * 4 ft = 7.6 ft / 2 = 3.8 ft squared

Area total - Area empty = 10ft^2 - 3.8ft^2 = 6.2 ft squared
