Answer:

\boxed{4 days}

Step-by-step explanation:

M1 = 4

D1 = 6

M2 = 6

D2 = x (we've to find this)

<u><em>Since,  it is an inverse proportion (more man takes less days for the work to complete and vice versa), so we'll write it in the form of</em></u>

M1 : M2 = D2 : D1

4 : 6 = x : 6

<u>Product of Means = Product of Extremes</u>

=> 6x = 4*6

=> 6x = 24

Dividing both sides by 6

=> x = 4 days

Answer:

<h2>4 days</h2>

Solution,

____________________________

Men ------------------------------ Days

<h3>4 ------------------------> 6</h3><h3>6 ------------------------> X (suppose)</h3>

_____________________________

In case of indirect proportion,

4/6= 6/X

or, 6*X= 6*4 ( cross multiplication)

or, 6x= 24

or, 6x/6= 24/6 ( dividing both sides by 6)

<h3> x= 4 days</h3>

Hope this helps...

Good luck on your assignment..

None of the offered choices is correct.

The radical cannot be simplified. If rewritten, it must be written as something like
x \sqrt[3]{ \frac{6}{x}}
or
\frac{6x}{ \sqrt[3]{36x}}

Answer:

(x - 1)²/4² - (y - 2)²/2² = 1 ⇒ The bold labels are the choices

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain how to solve this problem

- The equation of the hyperbola is x² - 4y² - 2x + 16y - 31 = 0

- The standard form of the equation of hyperbola is

  (x - h)²/a² - (y - k)²/b² = 1 where a > b

- So lets collect x in a bracket and make it a completing square and

  also collect y in a bracket and make it a completing square

∵ x² - 4y² - 2x + 16y - 31 = 0

∴ (x² - 2x) + (-4y² + 16y) - 31 = 0

- Take from the second bracket -4 as a common factor

∴ (x² - 2x) + -4(y² - 4y) - 31 = 0

∴ (x² - 2x) - 4(y² - 4y) - 31 = 0

- Lets make (x² - 2x) completing square

∵ √x² = x

∴ The 1st term in the bracket is x

∵ 2x ÷ 2 = x

∴ The product of the 1st term and the 2nd term is x

∵ The 1st term is x

∴ the second term = x ÷ x = 1

∴ The bracket is (x - 1)²

∵  (x - 1)² = (x² - 2x + 1)

∴ To complete the square add 1 to the bracket and subtract 1 out

   the bracket to keep the equation as it

∴ (x² - 2x + 1) - 1

- We will do the same withe bracket of y

- Lets make 4(y² - 4y) completing square

∵ √y² = y

∴ The 1st term in the bracket is x

∵ 4y ÷ 2 = 2y

∴ The product of the 1st term and the 2nd term is 2y

∵ The 1st term is y

∴ the second term = 2y ÷ y = 2

∴ The bracket is 4(y - 2)²

∵ 4(y - 2)² = 4(y² - 4y + 4)

∴ To complete the square add 4 to the bracket and subtract 4 out

   the bracket to keep the equation as it

∴ 4[y² - 4y + 4) - 4]

- Lets put the equation after making the completing square

∴ (x - 1)² - 1 - 4[(y - 2)² - 4] - 31 = 0 ⇒ simplify

∴ (x - 1)² - 1 - 4(y - 2)² + 16 - 31 = 0 ⇒ add the numerical terms

∴ (x - 1)² - 4(y - 2)² - 16 = 0 ⇒ add 14 to both sides

∴ (x - 1)² - 4(y - 2)² = 16 ⇒ divide both sides by 16

∴ (x - 1)²/16 - (y - 2)²/4 = 1

∵ 16 = (4)² and 4 = (2)²

∴ The standard form of the equation of the hyperbola is

   (x - 1)²/4² - (y - 2)²/2² = 1
