Answer:

• the equation kind is incorrect

• the equation is incorrect

• the equation should be: y = 15/x

Step-by-step explanation:

We observe that the data tells us the time is inversely proportional to the number of workers, and that the product of time and workers is 15 worker·hours. The form for inverse proportionality is ...

y = k/x

or

xy = k

Our observation tells us k = 15 (worker·hours), so our model equation is ...

y = 15/x . . . . . where x is the number of workers, and y is the hours to paint the room

Can you find both the value of x and y? It is a 30-60-90 triangle
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

x = 8*root3

y = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

You can use tangent and cosine of 60° to find x and y, BUT THERE'S A SHORTCUT. You pointed out that its a 30°-60°-90° triangle. That is a special right triangle. Here's the shortcut:

the longest side (hypotenuse) is double the shortest side. We have an 8 on the shortest side, so the hypotenuse (longest side) is 16. This ALWAYS works for 30°-60°-90° triangles!

Another shortcut:

The longer leg is the shorter leg × root3.

This ALWAYS works on 30°-60°-90° triangles.

So on your triangle, the short side is 8, that means the longer leg is 8×root3.

ta-daaaa!

What is (f + g)(x)? f(x) = -5x + 3 g(x) = -3x? Write your answer as a polynomial or a rational function in simplest form.​
ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

- 8x + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

(f + g)(x)

= f(x) + g(x)

= - 5x + 3 + (- 3x)

= - 5x + 3 - 3x ← collect like terms

= - 8x + 3
