Answer:

- equation:
1/t = 1/8 + 1/6
- time: 3.43 hours


Explanation:

1) Working speed of Cody: 1 project / 8 hours

2) Working speed of Kaitlyn: 1 project / 6 hours

3) Joint working speed = working speed of Cody + working speed of Kaitlyn

⇒ 1 project / t = 1 project / 8 hours + 1 project / 6 hours

1 / t = 1 / 8 + 1 / 6

That is the equation to solve.

4) Solution of the equation.

1/t = [3 + 4] / 24

1/t = 7/24

⇒ t = 24/7 ≈ 3.43 hours

Find the sum of the following infinite geometric series.
Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

Final answer is \frac{80}{3}.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given an infinite geometric series.

Now we need to find it's sum.

common ratio r=-\frac{1}{5}.

plug n=1 to get the first term

a_n=32\left(-\frac{1}{5}\right)^{\left(n-1\right)}

a_1=32\left(-\frac{1}{5}\right)^{\left(1-1\right)}

a_1=32\left(-\frac{1}{5}\right)^{\left(0\right)}

a_1=32\left(1\right)

a_1=32

Now plug these values into infinite sum formula

S_{\infty}=\frac{a_1}{1-r}=\frac{32}{1-\left(-\frac{1}{5}\right)}=\frac{32}{1.2}=\frac{320}{12}=\frac{80}{3}

Hence final answer is \frac{80}{3}.

I appreciate anyone who helps me solve this math problem for Apex!
ohaa [14]

Answer:

Option C

Step-by-step explanation:

We can easily see the solution by realizing that the quadratic function

y = x^2 + 2 has a discontinuity at x =1 (white dot at the graph)

So, the solution must have

y = x^2 + 2  , x < 1

And the only option in which this applies is Option C.
