Answer:
1
Step-by-step explanation:
anything with a power of 0 is 1
Since x - 3 < 0 for -2 < x < 3, |x-3| = -(x-3)
Since x + 2 > 0 for -2 < x < 3, |x+2| = x+2
Since x - 5 < 0 for -2 < x < 3, |x-5| = -(x-5).
So y = -(x-3) + (x+2) -(-(x-5)) = 3 - x + x + 2 + x - 5 = x.
y = x, if -2 < x < 3.
Answer:
- 3108
Step-by-step explanation:
The sum to n terms of an arithmetic series is
= 
[ 2
+ (n - 1)d ]
Substitute the given values into the formula
= 
[ (2 × - 26) + (23 × - 9) ]
= 12 ( - 52 - 207 )
= 12 × - 259 = - 3108
Answer:
At a combined speed of 6 in/min, it takes us 24 mins to clean the wall
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the question did not provide the speed with which each student cleans, we can make assumptions. This is so that we can solve the question before us
Assuming student 1 cleans at a speed of 2 inches per minute, student 2 cleans at a speed of 2½ inches per minute & student 3 cleans at a speed of 1½ inches per minute.
Let's list the parameters we have:
Height of wall (h) = 12 ft, Speed (student 1) = 2 in/min, Speed (student 2) = 2½ in/min, Speed (student 3) = 1½ in/min
Speed of cleaning wall = Height of wall ÷ Time to clean wall
Time to clean wall (t) = Height of wall ÷ Speed of cleaning wall
since students 1, 2 and 3 are working together, we will add their speed together; v = (2 + 2½ + 1½) = 6 in/min
1 ft = 12 in
Time (t) = h ÷ v = (12 * 12) ÷ 6 = 144 ÷ 6
Time (t) = 24 mins
