Conan O'Brien hosts the Conan show and Andy Richter, his sidekick, writes for it. Conan needs 4 hours to rehearse and host a goo

d show. It takes Andy 10 hours to do the same. Conan writes one usable joke in an hour, but Andy needs 2 hours to do the same. From these numbers, we infer that Conan has an absolute advantage in the production of:
A.
neither show hosting nor joke writing.

B.
joke writing.

C.
both show hosting and joke writing.

D.
show hosting.

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Conan needs 4 hours to rehearse and host a good show.  Andy needs 10 hours to do the same. So, Cohan needs 6 hours less than Andy to  rehearse and host a good show. This means Cohan has an absolute advantage in the production of show hosting.

2. Conan writes one usable joke in an hour,  Andy needs 2 hours to do the same. So, Cohan has an absolute advantage in the production of joke writing.

Thus, Cohan has an absolute advantage in the production of both show hosting and joke writing.

Correct option is option C.

Answer:

\displaystyle  \frac{dy}{dx} =    \frac{2x + 2}{x^3}

Step-by-step explanation:

we would like to figure out the derivative of the following:

\displaystyle  \frac{ { 3x }^{2} - 2x - 1 }{ {x}^{2} }

to do so, let,

\displaystyle y =  \frac{ { 3x }^{2} - 2x - 1 }{ {x}^{2} }

By simplifying we acquire:

\displaystyle y =  3 -  \frac{2}{x}  -  \frac{1}{ {x}^{2} }

use law of exponent which yields:

\displaystyle y =  3 -  2 {x}^{ - 1}  -   { {x}^{  - 2} }

take derivative in both sides:

\displaystyle  \frac{dy}{dx} =  \frac{d}{dx}  (3 -  2 {x}^{ - 1}  -   { {x}^{  - 2} } )

use sum derivation rule which yields:

\rm\displaystyle  \frac{dy}{dx} =  \frac{d}{dx}  3 -   \frac{d}{dx} 2 {x}^{ - 1}  -     \frac{d}{dx} {x}^{  - 2}

By constant derivation we acquire:

\rm\displaystyle  \frac{dy}{dx} =  0 -   \frac{d}{dx} 2 {x}^{ - 1}  -     \frac{d}{dx} {x}^{  - 2}

use exponent rule of derivation which yields:

\rm\displaystyle  \frac{dy}{dx} =  0 -   ( - 2 {x}^{ - 1 -1} ) -     ( - 2 {x}^{  - 2 - 1} )

simplify exponent:

\rm\displaystyle  \frac{dy}{dx} =  0 -   ( - 2 {x}^{ -2} ) -     ( - 2 {x}^{  - 3} )

two negatives make positive so,

\displaystyle  \frac{dy}{dx} =   2 {x}^{ -2} +      2 {x}^{  - 3}

<h3>further simplification if needed:</h3>

by law of exponent we acquire:

\displaystyle  \frac{dy}{dx} =   \frac{2 }{x^2}+       \frac{2}{x^3}

simplify addition:

\displaystyle  \frac{dy}{dx} =    \frac{2x + 2}{x^3}

and we are done!

The graph shows a probability distribution. What is P(1.5 ≤ X ≤ 3)? Enter your answer, as a decimal, in the box.
Bumek [7]
The probability from 1.5 ≤ x ≤ 3 can be calculated by dividing the Area from x=1.5 to x=3 by the total Area of the distribution. 

The given distribution is rectangular shaped, so its Area will be = Length x Width = 1 x 3 = 3 square units

From x = 1.5 to x = 3, the length is 1.5 and width is 1. So the area between these two intervals = 1.5 square units.

Thus, <span>P(1.5 ≤ X ≤ 3) = 1.5/3 = 0.5

a vendor bought n dozen eggs at the rate of 22.6 of the rotating he sold the remaining acts at the rate of 2.50 per act find his
babymother [125]

Answer:

Your question was a bit confusing so I found another related question. You can reference it with your own details.

A vendor bought 10 dozen eggs at the rate of Rs 22 per dozen. Six of the eggs were rotten. He sold the remaining eggs at the rate of Rs 2.50 per egg . Find his profit or loss

Vendor bought 10 dozen eggs which means the vendor bought:

= 10 * 12 eggs

= 120 eggs

6 were rotten and he sold the rest for Rs. 2.50 per egg.

= (120 - 6) * 2.5

= Rs. 285

The amount he spent on the eggs was:

= 10 dozen * 22

= Rs. 220

Profit = 285 - 220

= Rs. 65

Please help me!!!!!!!

Let's draw the diagonals of the square. The square is being divided by 4 right triangles. & these right triangles are also isosceles (the diagonals of a square intercepts each other in the middle).
The area of each right triangle = (6 x 6) / 2 = 18 yard² & the 4 right triangles => 4x 18 = 72 yd²
