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.

Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

2.25

Step-by-step explanation:

The total frequency is:

20 + 12 + 6 + 2 = 40

Calculate the probability of each score:

P(X=3) = 20/40 = 0.50

P(X=2) = 12/40 = 0.30

P(X=1) = 6/40 = 0.15

P(X=0) = 2/40 = 0.05

So the expected value is:

E = (3)(0.50) + (2)(0.30) + (1)(0.15) + (0)(0.05)

E = 2.25

Which zero pair could be added to the function f(x)=x^2+12x+6 so that the function can be written in vertex form?
andrew11 [14]
<span>f(x) = x</span>² <span>+ 12x + 6  </span>→ y = x² + 12x + 6<span>

Let us convert the standard form into vertex form.

1) Complete the squares. Isolate x</span>² and x terms.
<span>y - 6 = x</span>² + 12x
<span>
2) Create the perfect square trinomial. Whatever number is added on one side must also be added on the other side. 

y - 6 + 36 = x</span>² + 12x + 36<span>
y + 30 = (x + 6)</span>²
<span>y = (x + 6)</span>² - 30  ← Vertex form
<span>
To check:

y = (x + 6) (x + 6) - 30
y = x</span>² + 6x + 6x + 36 - 30
<span>y = x</span>² + 12x + 6<span>

The zero that could be added to the given function is 36, -36</span>

REY [17]

Answer:

A total of 720 elk are likely to be infected

Step-by-step explanation:

we shall be using the proportion by survey to estimate the number of infections

From the survey 8 out of 50 are infected. Thus the likelihood of infection is 8/50

We have 4,500 elk to consider. The number of elk likely to be infected will be 8/50 * 4500 = 720
