Answer:

B) 2 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

If machine  A complete a job in 3 1/2 hours or 7/2 of an hour

means that in one hour finished 1÷ 7/2     or  2/7

If machine  B complete a job in 4 2/3 hours or  14/3 of an hour

means that in one hour finished 1÷ 14/3    or  3/14 of an hour

Then the two machines working together in one hour will make

2/7 + 3/14    =  (4 + 3)/ 14

or   7/14   = 1/2

half of the job. Therefore these two machines working together will take two hours

Consider the exponential function f(x) = 2(3x) and its graph.
AveGali [126]

Answer:

The initial value of the function is <u>2</u>

The base of the function is <u>3</u>

The function shows exponential <u>growth</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 2(3^x)

Exponential functions are those with the following equation:

y = a*b^x

where a ≠ 0, b > 0 and b ≠ 1 and x is a real number.

<em>a</em> is the y-intercept and <em>b </em>is the base.

The initial value of the function is the same as the y-intercept

If <em>a</em> is positive, the function growth. If <em>a</em> is negative, the function decay

Calculate the noon sun angles for new orleans, usa and helsinki, finland on september 22. in the answer below, new orleans answe
Otrada [13]
<span>We need to calculate noon sun angle. Noon sun angle is an angle at which sun-rays fall at noon on a given date.
</span>On September 22, the sun’s rays form a 90° angle at noon at the equator.

Formula for calculating noon sun angle is:

Noon_sun_angle = 90° - Zenith angle

We have complementary angles so we need to substract zenith angle from 90°.

The zenith angle is the distance between subsolar point (point where sun is at 90°) and the latitude of an observer. In our case this angle will have same value as latitude because subsolar point is at equator 0°. If our latitude and subsolar point are at same hemisphere we substract values. Otherwise we add values.

New Orleans, USA
Latitude = 30°
Noon_sun_angle = 90° - 30° = 60°

Helsinki, Finland
Latitude = 60°
Noon_sun_angle = 90° - 60° = 30°

Can some one help me please
KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

0

Step-by-step explanation:

Any number multiplied by zero is equal to zero. So if the product is zero, one factor must be zero. Since you already have a nonzero factor, the other must be zero.
