Greg the trainer has two solo workout plans that he offers his clients: Plan A and Plan B. Each client does either one or the ot

her (not both). On Wednesday there were 3 clients who did Plan A and 5 who did Plan B. On Thursday there were 9 clients who did Plan A and 7 who did Plan B. Greg trained his Wednesday clients for a total of 6 hours and his Thursday clients for a total of 12 hours. How long does each of the workout plans last?

This problem can be solved by algebraic method.
Let
x = the total time spent of all clients in Plan A
y = the total time spent of all clients in Plan B
We represent two variables x and y because there are two plans that won't be happened simultaneously.
On Wednesday, the two workout plans have the total time of 6 hours. We equate
3x + 5y = 6
While on Thursday, the total time is 12 hours. We also equate
9x + 7y = 12

To find x and y, we can use the substitution method. For the first equation, we arrange it in terms of y, that is
5y = 6 - 3x
y = (6 - 3x)/5

Substitute it to the second equation:
9x + (7/5)(6 - 3x) = 12
9x + (42/5) - (21/5)x = 12
Multiply the equation by 5 to cancel the denominator:
45x + 42 - 21x = 60
45x - 21x = 60 - 42
24x = 18
x = 18/24 = 3/4 hours

For y:
3(3/4) + 5y = 6
9/4 + 5y = 6
Multiply the equation by 4 to cancel the denominator:
9 + 20y = 24
20y = 24 - 9
20y = 15
y = 15/20 = 3/4 hours

Hence, each workout plans are done within 3/4 hours (or 45 minutes).

Jose' traveled from his home in Ocala to Gainesville. Gainesville is 37 miles
Alja [10]

Answer:

The integer -37 represents the direction and the distance covered by Jose from Gainesville to Ocala.

Step-by-step explanation:

The direction is represented by the sign that accompanies the distance, since Jose is returning from Gainesville, then the direction must represented by a minus sign (-), since he is travelling southwards. The distance is the magnitude of the length covered by Jose during his return. Hence, distance is represented by the natural number 37.

Finally, the integer -37 represents the direction and the distance covered by Jose from Gainesville to Ocala.

Factor out the coefficient of the variable 1.7j-3.4
Ad libitum [116K]
Here you would factor out a 1.7 because that is the coefficient in front of the j. When you factor, you are essentially dividing each term by the value you are factoring out
1.7j/1.7=j
-3.4/1.7=-2

So the final answer is 1/7(j-2)

Find the quadratic function passing through the points (0,-3), (1,2), and (2,-1)
user100 [1]

<u>Answer:</u>

The quadratic function passing through the points (0,-3), (1,2), and (2,-1) is \mathrm{f}(\mathrm{x})=-4 x^{2}+9 x-3

<u>Solution: </u>

Given that required function is quadratic  

And function is passing through points (0 , -3) , (1 , 2) and (2 , -1)

General form of a quadratic function is  f(x)=a x^{2}+b x+c ----(A)

f(x) is nothing but output value that is y.

That is f(x) = y

So y=a x^{2}+b x+c  --- (1)

Let’s use equation (1) to get required function.

Given that function passes through (0 , -3) means when x = 0 , y = -3

On substituting value of x and y in equation (1) we get  

-3=\mathrm{a}(0)^{2}+\mathrm{b}(0)+\mathrm{c}

-3 = 0 + 0 + c

c = -3

On substituting value of c in equation (1) we get  

y=a x^{2}+b x-3 ---(2)

Function also passes through point (1, 2) that is at x = 1 , y = 2.

On substituting value of x and y in equation (2) we get  

2=\mathrm{a}(1)^{2}+\mathrm{b}(1)-3

2 = a + b – 3

a + b = 5                

b = 5 - a   -------(3)

Also given function passes through point ( 2 , -1) means when x = 2 , y = -1

On substituting value of x and y in equation (2) we get  

-1=\mathrm{a}(2)^{2}+\mathrm{b}(2)-3

-1 = 4a + 2b – 3

4a + 2b = 2

2a + b = 1  ------- (4)

On substituting value of b from equation (3) in equation (4), we get

2a + (5 - a ) = 1  

a + 5 = 1

a = 1-5 = -4

From equation (3) b = 5 – a = 5 – (-4) = 9

b = 9

Now we have a = -4, b = 9 and c = -3

On substituting calculated values of a, b, and c in equation (A) we get

f(x)=-4 x^{2}+9 x-3

Hence required quadratic function is f(x)=-4 x^{2}+9 x-3
