Given the polynomial expression:
(y + 5)²
(y - 5)(y + 5)
Let's simplify each of the given expression:
a.) (y + 5)²
The given equation is a factor of a perfect square trinomial. For this type of expression, the following is the formula for expanding it.
We get,
b.) (y - 5)(y + 5)
To be able to simplify the following expression. We will be using the formula for the difference of two squares.
We get,
Answer : 40,000
Explanation : when multiplying 10 with 4,000 we get
4000 X 10 = 40,000.
As we multiply, using the chart there are 4 thousand present in the row of thousand column. When we multiply that with 10 it gets shifted to left and becomes 40,000.
Answer:
Pipe 1 alone fills a tank in 10 min
Pipe 2 alone fills the tank in 20 min
If both are turned on together, how long will it take to fill the tank???
Pipe 1 fills at the RATE of 1/10th tank per min
Pipe 2 fills at the RATE of 1/20th tank per min
Pipe 1 + Pipe 2 fills at the rate of 1/10+1/20 or 3/20th tank per min
Let x= time to fill the tank
(3/20)(x)=1 Where 1 denotes a full tank (Multiply both sides by 20)
3x=20
x=6 2/3 min----------both working together
NOW YOUR PROBLEM
Let x= amount of time for smaller pipe to fill the tank
Then (x-5)=amount of time for larger pipe to fill the tank
NOW HERE'S WHERE THE RECIPROCAL COMES IN:
The smaller pipe fills the tank at the RATE of 1/x cu units per min
The larger tank fills the tank at the RATE of 1/(x-5) cu units per min
Together, they fill the tank at the rate of 1/x+(1/(x-5)) cu units per min
But now we are told that together the fill the tank in 11 1/9 minutes. so our equation to solve is:
(1/x+(1/(x-5))(11 1/9)=1 where 1 denotes a full tank. In fact, in each of the above reciprocals, the 1 denotes a full tank.
So, dividing both sides by 11 1/9, we get:
1/x+(1/(x-5)=1/(11 1/9)-------------- which is your equation
I assume that you have no problems solviing this eq.
