Answer:

  4.8 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the given hint, working together, the amount of floor mopped in 1 minute is ...

  1/8 + 1/12 = 3/24 +2/24 = 5/24 . . . . jobs/minute

The reciprocal of that is the rate in terms of minutes per job. Thus the entire job takes 24/5 = 4.8 minutes.

Write the quadratic equation whose roots are 5 and -3, and whose leading coefficient is 1
kogti [31]
1. A quadratic equation has the following form: ax²+bx+c.
 
 2. The leading coefficient is the number that is attached to the variable with the highest exponent. Then, the "a" is the leading coefficient of the quadratic equation.
 
 3. The problem says that the leading coefficient is 1 (a=1) and the roots of the quadratic equation are 5 and -3. Then, you have:
 
 (x-5)(x+3)=0
 
 4. When you apply the distributive property, you obtain:
 
 x²+3x-5x-15=0
 x²-2x-15=0
 
 5. Therefore, the answer is:
 
 x²-2x-15=0
