Janet can fill a certain order in 5 hours, therefore she performs 1/5 of the order within 1 hour.

Tom needs 8 hours to do the same job, therefore he performs 1/8 of the order within 1 hour.

Working together, they make 1/5 + 1/8 orders within 1 hour.

Let <em>t</em> mean the number of hours they need. Then we have equation:

\left(\dfrac{1}{5}+\dfrac{1}{8}\right)t=1\\\\_{\text{use}\ \frac{a}{b}+\frac{c}{d}=\frac{ad+bc}{bd}}\\\\\dfrac{(1)(8)+(1)(5)}{(5)(8)}t=1\\\\\dfrac{8+5}{40}t=1\\\\\dfrac{13}{40}t=1\ \ \ \ |\text{multiply both sides by 40}\\\\13t=40\ \ \ \ |\text{divide both sides by 13}\\\\t=\dfrac{40}{13}\\\\t=3\dfrac{1}{13}\\\\Answer:\ 3\dfrac{1}{13}h=3h\ \dfrac{60}{13}min\approx3h\ 5min

drawbridge at the entrance to an ancient castle is raised and lowered by a pair of chains. The figure represents the drawbridge
jasenka [17]

Answer:

4.0 meters, ∠C = 39°, ∠A = 51°

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, our diagram shows us that the given triangle is actually a right triangle. So we can use the <em>Pythagorean Theorem</em> to solve for the height of the chain:

a^{2} +b^{2} =c^{2}

(3.3)^{2} +b^{2} =(5.2)^{2}

b^{2} =(5.2)^{2}-(3.3)^{2}

b =\sqrt{(5.2)^{2}-(3.3)^{2}}

b=4.0187...

b=4.0 m

Now, we can use the <em>Law of Cosines</em> to figure out one of the acute angles:

c^{2}  =a^{2} +b^{2} -2ab(cos(C))

(3.3)^{2}  =(4.0)^{2} +(5.2)^{2} -2(4.0)(5.2)(cos(C))

cos(C)=\frac{(3.3)^{2}-(4.0)^{2} -(5.2)^{2}}{-2(4.0)(5.2)}

C=cos^{-1}( \frac{(3.3)^{2}-(4.0)^{2} -(5.2)^{2}}{-2(4.0)(5.2)})

C=39.3915...

∠C = 39°

And since we know that all angles in a triangle add up to 180°:

∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180

∠A + 90 + 39 = 180

∠A = 180 - 90 - 39

∠A = 51°

However, you should always review any answers on the Internet and make sure they are correct! Check my work to see if I made any mistakes!

Write the equation of this circle in standard form
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

Standard equation of this circle is (x +5)² + y² = 9.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a circle with center at (h,k) and a radius of r is:

(x - h)² + (y - k)² = r²

Subtitute the variables with h= -5, k = 0, and r = 3

(x - (-5))² + (y - 0)² =3²

(x + 5)² + y² = 9

What is the value of f(g(1)
ladessa [460]

Composite functions is a way of substituting one function into another. The value of the composite function f(g(1)) is 1

<h3>Composite functions</h3>

Composite functions is a way of substituting one function into another.


Given the function expressed as:

y = 3√x + 1

g(1) from the mapping is 0

Substitute g(1) = 0 into the given function to have:

f(g(1)) =  3√0 .+ 1

f(g(1)) =0 + 1
f(g(1))  = 1

Hence the value of the composite function f(g(1)) is 1

(PICTURE) Can someone please help me out Im reporting trolls. Marking brainliest
Goshia [24]

Answer:

smart dot company would be c=.50t+12

communication plus would be c=2.50t

Step-by-step explanation:

smart dot starts with $12 a month and adds $0.50 for each hour of internet use. communication plus has no starting fee so it just adds $2.50 for each hour of internet use.

So then for the table you would put the number given for time in for the letter t and find what c would be. This would then find your cost for that amount of hours. To get you started smart dot company starts off with 0 hours so put that in for t being c=0.50(0)+12 and c=12. Communication plus also starts with 0 so it would be c=2.50(0) and c=0

Then you graph once you have both values you can graph having x=time and y=cost

Let me know if this helps!
