We know that
<span>An electrician can wire a house in ------------> 20 hours
so
100%----------------> 20 hours
 X-------------------> 12 hour
x=12*100/20----> x=60%

that means 
</span><span>the apprentice in 12 hours complete the (100-60)----> 40%

</span>the apprentice in 12 hours complete -------> 40%
x hours------------------------------------> 100%
x=100*12/40-----> x=30 hours

the answer is
30 hours

On a coordinate plane, 2 exponential fuctions are shown. Function f (x) decreases from quadrant 2 into quadrant 1 and approaches
Gala2k [10]

Answer:

g(x)=6(3)^x

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given  that

f(x)=6(\frac{1}{3})^x

Function f decreases from quadrant  2 to quadrant 1 and approaches  y=0

It cut the y- axis at (0,6) and passing through the point (1,2).

Function g(x) approaches y=0 in quadrant 2 and increases into quadrant 1.

It passing through the point (-1,2) and cut the y-axis at point (0,6).

Reflection across y- axis:

Rule of transformation is given by

(x,y)\rightarrow (-x,y)

Using the rule then we get

g(x)=6(\frac{1}{3})^{-x}=6(3)^x

By using

x^{-a}=\frac{1}{x^a}

Substitute x=-1

g(-1)=6\times (\frac{1}{3})=2

Substitute x=0

g(0)=6

Therefore,g(x)=6(3)^x is true.

The next model of a sports car will cost 5.6% less than the current model. The current model costs $52,000. How much will the pr
Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

49,088

Step-by-step explanation:

First you need to find 5.6% of 52,000. Simply multiply 52,000 by 0.056 (change the percent to a decimal) then you get 2,912.

Second, you need to subtract 2,912 from 52,000 which is 49,088

The parabolic arch of a bridge over a one-way road can be described by the equation y = -x^2 + 6, where x and y ar emeasured in
Vladimir [108]
So check the picture below

if we check the solutions or zeros for the equation, we get \bf y=-x^2+6\implies 0=-x^2+6\implies x=\pm \sqrt{6}

and as you can see in the picture, the value of "x" when y = 3.5, or the height of the truck is  \bf y=-x^2+6\implies 3.5=-x^2+6\implies x=\pm \sqrt{2.5}

the truck, ends up with a clearance of \bf \sqrt{2.5}-1.5 on either side, so, the maximum clearance, the truck can have, those two clearances added together, \bf 2(\sqrt{2.5}-1.5)
