Answer: C.  6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Time taken by Machine R to do the job = 36 hours

Time taken by Machine S to do the job = 18 hours

Let x be the number of each type of machine to do the job.

Then , according to the question the required equation will be :-

\dfrac{x}{36}+\dfrac{x}{18}=\dfrac{1}{2}\\\\\Rightarrow\ x(\dfrac{1}{36}+\dfrac{1}{18})=\dfrac{1}{2}\\\\\Rightarrow\ \dfrac{x}{12}=\dfrac{1}{2}\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=\dfrac{12}{2}=6

Hence, the number of machines of type R were used =6

If you vertically compress the absolute value parent function ?? What is the equation of the new function
Bumek [7]

Answer: Choice A -- f(x) = (1/3)*|x|

============================================

The input of a function is x and the output is y = f(x)

To vertically compress a function, we will multiply the y value by some fraction smaller than 1. This is so that the y coordinates are a fraction of what they once were.

In this case, we multiply y by 1/3 so that something that has a y coordinate of y = 81 becomes y = 27 (divide by 3)

So we have y = f(x) become (1/3)*y = (1/3)*f(x) = (1/3)*|x|

In a population of grasshoppers, the ratio of grasshoppers with a white marking to those without a white marking is 2:3. An ento
LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

D. 116

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the grasshoppers with a white marking be 2x.

Let the grasshoppers without a white marking be 3x.

2x + 3x = 290

5x = 290

x = 290 / 5

x = 58

The grasshoppers with a white marking

= 2x

= 2 ( 58 )

= 116
