Answer:

4 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the company was able to produce 15 book in 3 hours, that mean they produce 5 book every hour. So adding 5 more books to 15 to get 20 means that you add one more hour. So it would be 4 hours! hope this helps!:)

A line segment has endpoints (-2,-3) and (4,4). Find the length of the segment and find the midpoint.

$\bf ~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{distance between 2 points}

\begin{array}{ccccccccc}
&&x_1&&y_1&&x_2&&y_2\\
% (a,b)
&&(~ -2 &,& -3~) 
% (c,d)
&&(~ 4 &,& 4~)
\end{array}
\\\\\\
d = \sqrt{( x_2- x_1)^2 + ( y_2- y_1)^2}
\\\\\\
d=\sqrt{[4-(-2)]^2+[4-(-3)]^2}\implies d=\sqrt{(4+2)^2+(4+3)^2}
\\\\\\
d=\sqrt{36+49}\implies \boxed{d=\sqrt{85}}\\\\

Use pemdas ( 12 - 3)^2 - ( 14/2)

Nonamiya [84]

Step-by-step explanation:

= ( 12 - 3)² - (14/2)

= 9² - 7

= 9×9 - 7

= 81 - 7

= 74

Which of the following sets are closed under multiplication? Select all that apply.

ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

Integers, whole numbers and polynomials are sets of closed under multiplication.

Only Irrational numbers are not the sets of closed under multiplication.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find : Which of the following sets are closed under multiplication?

1. Integers

Yes, integers is a sets of closed under multiplication as if you multiply an integer by an integer, you will always get another integer.

Example - $3\times 3=9$ is an integer

2. Irrational numbers

No, irrationals are not closed under multiplication.

Example - $\sqrt{3} \times \sqrt{3} =3$ is a rational number

3. Whole numbers

Yes, whole numbers is a sets of closed under multiplication as if you multiply a whole number by a whole number, you will always get another whole number.

Example - $5\times 5=25$ is a whole number

4. Polynomials

Yes, polynomial is sets of closed under multiplication as if you multiply the variables' exponents are added, and the exponents in polynomials are whole numbers so the new exponents will be whole numbers.

Example - $(x + 1)(x^2 + 4x + 3) = x^3 + 5x^2 + 7x + 3$ is a polynomial.
