Answer:

It takes Nick alone 7.5 days to finish painting a house.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the speed of Brad's painting be B

Let the speed of Nick's painting be N

And let the amount of work required to paint a house be H

Let the time it takes Nick alone to finish painting a house be t

(Speed of painting) = (amount of work to be done)/(total time it takes to finish)

From the question,

B = (H/5) (eqn 1)

N = (H/t) (eqn 2)

But they both paint a house in 3 days

In 3 days, Brad does (3×B) amount of work and Nick does (3×N) amount of work too.

Therefore, H = 3B + 3N (eqn 3)

Recall (eqn 1) and (eqn 2) and substitute for B and N in (eqn 3)

H = 3B + 3N

B = (H/5); N = (H/t)

H = (3H/5) + (3H/t)

1 = (3/5) + (3/t)

Multiply through by 5t

5t = 3t + 15

5t - 3t = 15

2t = 15

t = (15/2) = 7.5 days

Faelyn grouped the terms and factored the GCF out of the groups of the polynomial 6x4 – 8x2 + 3x2 + 4. Her work is shown. Step 1
fiasKO [112]

Answer:

B. Faelyn should realize that her work shows that the polynomial is prime

Step-by-step explanation:

The polynomial 6x⁴ – 8x² + 3x² + 4 needs to be factored and the steps are:

Step 1: (6x⁴ – 8x²) + (3x² + 4)

Step 2: 2x²(3x² – 4) + 1(3x² + 4)

Since they do not have a common factor, Faelyn should realize that her work shows that the polynomial is prime. A prime polynomial cannot be factored further because it is at its lowest common term and cannot be factored into any other polynomial of a lower degree. Prime polynomials have integer coefficients. A prime polynomial is also referred to as an irreducible polynomial.

Sam needs a web designer. Designer A is offering her services for an initial $500 in addition to $100 per hour. Designer B is of
gavmur [86]

Answer:

2 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's denote the amount of time we need to find out, t.

=> 600 + 50t < 500 + 100t

or 600 - 500 < 100t - 50t

or 100 < 50t

or 100/50 < t

or t > 2

=> After 2 hours, company B will be cheaper option than company A

Find the slope of the line that passes through (5, 5) and (1, 0),
Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

Slope is 5/4.

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of two points can be expressed as \displaystyle \large{m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} where m represents the slope,

Let (5,5) be (x1,y1) and (1,0) be (x2,y2). Thus:

\displaystyle \large{m=\frac{0-5}{1-5}=\frac{-5}{-4}=\frac{5}{4}}

You can also consider both points other way around. We can let (1,0) be (x1,y1) and (5,5) be (x2,y2) and therefore:

\displaystyle \large{m=\frac{5-0}{5-1}=\frac{5}{4}}

Therefore, the slope is 5/4.
