Answer:

Brent will take 12 hours to do the work alone

Kent will take 6 hours to do the work alone

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the formula

W = RT

to solve this.

W is Work Done

R is the Rate at which it is done

T is the Time taken

Now, let Brent's rate be x

and since Kent can to it TWICE as fast, we can say Kent's rate is 2x

Now, to cut and split a cord (let that be "1" unit of work, W = 1 ), together they take 4 hours. So we can write:

W = RT

1 = (x + 2x)(4)

Now, we solve this for x:

1=(x+2x)(4)\\1=(3x)(4)\\1=12x\\x=\frac{1}{12}

This means that 1/12th of work is done in 1 hour, so it will take him "12" hours to do full work alone.

This is Brent.

Kent is TWICE as fast, so he will take HALF THE TIME, that is 6 hours to do the work alone.

Brent will take 12 hours to do the work alone

Kent will take 6 hours to do the work alone

Choose correct graph with following function
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

The answer to your question is The second graph

Step-by-step explanation:

The general equation for a trigonometric is

                        Acos(Bx + C) + D

A indicates the amplitude if the value is 1, the lowest point is -1 and the highest point is 1.  So we discard the first graph.

B indicates the period. A normal graph has a period of 2π, but this equation has a period of 3/2. This means that the period is smaller.

C indicates that the graph is moved to the left or right but in this problem C = 0, so it does not change.

D indicates if the graph is moved up or down, in this problem, D = 0 so it does not change.

Answer:

It would take alot of time for be to fill everything out so the simple solution is, complementary angles add up to 90 degrees and supplementary add up to 180 degrees. Simply for complementary do 90 - m<1 = m<2, and for supplementary 180 - m<3 = m<4.
