Next-door neighbors Bob and Jim use hoses from both houses to fill Bob's swimming pool. They know that it takes 22 h using both

hoses. They also know that Bob's hose, used alone, takes 50% less time than Jim's hose alone. How much time is required to fill the pool by each hose alone?

Answer:

correct answer: Bob's hose required alone 33 hours and Jim's hose required alone 66 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Bob's hose time = 50% of Jim's hose time ⇒

⇒ Jim's hose time = 2 · Bob's hose time

Let be x  Bob's hose time and  2x Jim's hose time

The following equation will solve the problem:

1/x + 1/ 2x = 1/22  

The common denominator for both fractions is 2x, so we will multiply the first fraction by the number 2 and get:

2/2x + 1/2x = 1/22 ⇒ 3/2x = 1/22 ⇒ x = 3 · 22 / 2 ⇒ x = 3 · 11 = 33 hours

Bob's hose time x = 33 hours and

Jim's hose time 2x = 66 hours

God is with you!!!

Consider following equation m=y2-y1/x2-x1 find slope
strojnjashka [21]
This the definition for slope. M=slope.
Slope = rise/run or delta(y)/delta(x) which simply stands for change in y divided by change in x which is m(slope)=y2-y1/x2-x1

Find the value that completes the ordered pair to describe the transformation of f(x) to g (x).
shtirl [24]

Answer:

we know that if: (x, y) is a point of f(x):

This means that f(x) = y.

Then (x + 3, y + 1) is a point of g(x)

This means that:

g(x + 3) = y + 1

Then we have two shifts.

For a real and positive number A.

A horizontal shift of A units to the right can be written as:

f(x - A)

A vertical shift of A units up can be written as:

f(x) + A.

Then in this case we have:

An horiozontal shift of 3 units to the right, and a vertical shift of 1 unit up, this means that:

g(x') = f(x' - 3) + 1.

then evaluating this at x' = x + 3

g(x + 3) = f(x + 3 - 3) + 1 = f(x) + 1 = y + 1

That is what we had initially.

A marketing consultant observed 40 consecutive shoppers to estimate the average money spent by shoppers in a supermarket store.
KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

0.998 is the probability that the average money spent by  a sample of 40 shoppers is within $10 of the actual population mean.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Standard Deviation, σ = $21.51

We are given that the distribution of average money spend is a bell shaped distribution that is a normal distribution.

Formula:

z_{score} = \displaystyle\frac{x-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}

We have to find:

P( average money spent is within $10 of the actual population mean.)

= P( z \leq \displaystyle\frac{10\times \sqrt{40}}{21.51}}) = P(z \leq 2.94)

Calculation the value from standard normal z table, we have,  

P(z \leq 2.94) = 0.998

Given f(x)= -4x-10 and f(x)=10. find x
yulyashka [42]

Answer:

x = - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

f(x) = - 4x - 10 and f(x) = 10, the equate right sides, that is

- 4x - 10 = 10 ( add 10 to both sides )

- 4x = 20 ( divide both sides by - 4 )

x = - 5
