12a³ + 12a² = -3a       | + 3a

12a³ + 12a² + 3a = 0

3a(4a² + 4a + 1) = 0

3a(2a + 1)² = 0

3a = 0 or (2a + 1)² = 0

1) 3a = 0      | : 3

a = 0

2) (2a + 1)² = 0

2a + 1 = 0           | - 1

2a = -1           | : 2

a = -1/2

a ∈ {-1/2, 0}

Used formula:

(a + b)² = a² + 2ab + b²

Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

(a) 2min/15units

(b) 1min/20units

(c) The bottleneck stage is cutting. The process capacity is 450units/hour

(d) The capacity of the new employee should be 1unit/2sec. The process capacity will increase four times

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) Cycle time for stage cutting for 2 employees = 16sec/2units × 1min/60sec = 2min/15units

(b) Cycle time for stage sealing for 1 employee = 3sec/1unit × 1min/60sec = 1min/20units

(c) Process capacity of stage cutting = 15units/2min × 60min/1hour = 450units/hour

(d) If the capacity of the new employee is 1unit/2sec, the process capacity = 1unit/2sec × 3600sec/1hour = 1800units/hour. The process capacity increases 4 times (1800/450 = 4)

Whats the largest fraction 5/12 and 3/8​
maks197457 [2]

Answer:

5/12 > 3/8

Step-by-step explanation:

to see which is bigger, find the LCD of both fractions and whichever has the biggest numerator is the larger fraction.

the LCD of 5/12 and 3/8 is 24.

to get a denominator of 24 for 5/12 we would multiply the fraction by 2, which gives us 10/24

to get a denominator of 24 for 3/8 we would multiply the fraction by 3, which gives us 9/24.

10/24 > 9/24

looking back at the original fractions, 5/12 is the largest fraction
