$=(a^2-10a)-(b^2+6b) +16$
$=[(a^2-2(5)a+25)-25]-[(b^2+2(3)b+9)-9]+16$
$=(a-5)^2-25-(b+3)^2+9+16$
$=(a-5)^2-(b+3)^2$
Answer:
Jennifer would complete the job on her own in 5 hours.
Step-by-step explanation:
Solving a quadratic equation:
Given a second order polynomial expressed by the following equation:
.
This polynomial has roots such that
, given by the following formulas:
Rates
The together rate is the sum of their separates rate.
We have that:
Jennifer takes x hours to complete the job on her own, so her rate is 1/x.
Carl needs 15 hours longer than Jennifer, that is, 15 + x hours, so his rate is 1/(15+x).
The together rate is 1/4. So
Applying cross multiplication.
Quadratic equation with . So
Since the time to complete the job has to be a positive value.
Jennifer would complete the job on her own in 5 hours.
