Answer:

B. 28 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the given statement,

William weeds the whole garden in 45 minutes, then in one minute he will weed 1/45 of the garden

and

similarly, 1/75 of the garden in one minute.

When they both will work together, they will weed (1/45+1/75) of the garden in one minute

Solving the equation:

= \frac{1}{45}+ \frac{1}{75}\\= \frac{75+45}{3375}\\ =\frac{120}{3375}\\ = 0.036

Garden weeded in one minute by both = 0.036

So, number of minutes to weed whole garden = 1/0.036

= 27.77 minutes

Rounding off will give us: 28 minutes

So,

Option B is the correct answer ..

Consider the function.
worty [1.4K]

The statement f⁻¹(x) has a y-intercept of (0, –36) and f⁻¹(x) has a range of all real numbers options third and fifth are correct.

<h3>What is a function?</h3>

It is defined as a special type of relationship, and they have a predefined domain and range according to the function every value in the domain is related to exactly one value in the range.

The question is incomplete.

The question is: Consider the function f(x) = (-2/3)x - 24  Which conclusions can be drawn about f⁻¹(x) Select two options:

f⁻¹(x) has a slope of -2/3

f⁻¹(x) has a restricted domain.

f⁻¹(x) has a y-intercept of (0, –36).

f⁻¹(x) has an x-intercept of (–36, 0).

f⁻¹(x) has a range of all real numbers.

f(x) = (-2/3)x - 24

To find the inverse of a function:

interchange the x and y

x = (-2/3)y - 24

y = (-3/2)(x + 24)

y = (-3/2)x - 36

The slope of a function f⁻¹(x) is -3/2

From the graph, we can see the y-intercept is (0, -36) and the range will be all real numbers.

Thus, the statement f⁻¹(x) has a y-intercept of (0, –36) and f⁻¹(x) has a range of all real numbers options third and fifth are correct.
