Answer:

The faster computer can do the job in 20 mins on it own.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Time taken by slower computer to do job on its own =30 minutes.

Time taken by both the computers to do the job = 12 mins.

We need to find the Time taken by faster computer to do job on its own.

Solution:

Let the the Time taken by faster computer to do job on its own be 'x'.

Now we know that;

Rate to complete the job is equal to number of jobs divided by time taken to complete the job.

Rate of faster computer = \frac1x

Rate of slower computer = \frac{1}{30}

Rate of both the computers = \frac{1}{12}

Now we can say that;

Rate of both the computers is equal to sum of Rate of faster computer and Rate of slower computer.

framing in equation form we get;

\frac{1}{12}=\frac{1}{30}+\frac{1}{x}\\\\\frac{1}{x} = \frac{1}{12}-\frac{1}{30}

Now we will take the LCM to make the denominator common we get;

\frac{1}{x}=\frac{5}{12\times5}-\frac{2}{30\times2}\\\\\frac1x=\frac{5}{60}-\frac{2}{60}

Now denominator are same so we will solve the numerator.

\frac1x=\frac{5-2}{60}\\\\\frac1x=\frac{3}{60}\\\\\frac1x=\frac{1}{20}\\\\x=20\ mins

Hence The faster computer can do the job in 20 mins on it own.

What is the value of sec theta in the triangle below
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

The answer to your question is  the third choice secФ = 41/40

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Opposite side = 9

Adjacent side = 40

hypotenuse = 41

Process

To solve this problem use trigonometric functions. The secant is the trigonometric function that relates the hypotenuse and the adjacent side.

       sec Ф = hypotenuse / adjacent side

hypotenuse = 41

adjacent side = 40

then,

      secФ = 41/40
