Answer:

b) 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Three machines  operating independently, simultaneously, and at the same constant rate can fill a certain production order in 36 hours.

To Find: If one additional machine were used under the same operating conditions, in how many fewer hours of simultaneous operation could the production order be filled.

Solution:

Let  the time taken by one machine to fill a certain production alone be=\text{x}

Time taken when three machine operate independently and simultaneously

\frac{1}{\text{x}}+\frac{1}{\text{x}}+\frac{1}{\text{x}}=\frac{1}{36}

\frac{3}{\text{x}}=\frac{1}{36}

\text{x}=108 \text{hours}

Let time taken when one additional machine is used =\text{y}

Time when when one additional machine is used

\frac{1}{108}+\frac{1}{108}+\frac{1}{108}+\frac{1}{108}=\frac{1}{\text{y}}

\frac{4}{108}=\frac{1}{\text{y}}

\text{y}=27 \text{hours}

it takes 27 \text{hours} when one additional machine is used

Now,

fewer hours taken when one additional  machine is used

=\text{number of hours taken when three machines are used}-\text{number of hours taken when one additional machine is used}

36-27

9 \text{hours}

in 9 fewer hours of simultaneous operation the production order can be filled if one additional machine is used

Hence option b) is correct.

Answer:

{2, 4, 6}

Step-by-step explanation:

the domain is the interval or set of valid x (input) values.

the range is the interval or set of valid y (result) values.

all we need to do is use the given x values in the functional definition and collect the result values. that is the range.

x = -1

y = 2×-1 + 4 = 2

x = 0

y = 2×0 + 4 = 4

x = 1

y = 2×1 + 4 = 6

Assuming it's boiling, the temperature will be 100°C, since water based materials can not exceed that without becoming a gas.

Can you please help me with 23 and 25 I do not understand!!! Please help
adell [148]

when you multiply a number by a value that's greater than 1, that number increases, for example 2 and then we multiply it like 2 * 3, clearly 2*3 is greater than 2.

now when you multiply a number  by a value that's lesser than 1, that number decreases, for example 2 and then we multiply it by something like 1/4, so 2 * 1/4 = 1/2, well, clearly 1/2 is smaller than 2, so 1/2 is a decreased value of 2.

23)

we have here 4/7, and then a product, well, the product is 4/7 and 9/10, however 9/10 is less than 1, recall 1 = 10/10, 9/10 is just a tiny bit less than 1.

because we're multiplying 4/7 by some amount less than 1, the product is a smaller value than 4/7, thus

 \bf \cfrac{4}{7}~~>~\left( \cfrac{9}{10}\times \cfrac{4}{7} \right)

25)

we have here 5/6 and we multiply it by 7/7, wait a minute!!! 7/7 = 1, we're really just multiplying 5/6 by 1 then, what does that give us?  well, 5/6 * 1  = 5/6, just the number itself,

\bf \cfrac{5}{6}~~=~\left( \cfrac{5}{6}\times \cfrac{7}{7} \right)
