Answer:

c =3.9375 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to determine time to finish the job together is

1/a + 1/b = 1/c

Where a and b are the times to complete the job separately and c is the time to complete the job when working together

1/7 + 1/9 = 1/c

Multiply by 63c to get rid of the fractions

63c*(1/7 + 1/9) = 1/c *63c

9c + 7c = 63

Combine like terms

16c = 63

Divide each side by 16

16c/16 = 63/16

c =3.9375 hours

Which triangles can have two sides of the same lenghth
alisha [4.7K]

An isosceles triangle is a triangle with 2 congruent sides. The congruent sides are called legs and the third side is called the base. So if 2 sides of a triangle have the same length, then we say that the triangle is isosceles.

Answer:

<h2>        y = x² - 1</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

y = -1 for x = 0 {point(0, -1)} means -1 at the end of formula

If we add 1 to y-coordinate of  every given point we get the squares of x-coordinate:

(1, 0):   1² - 1 = 0

(2, 3):   2² - 1 = 4 - 1 = 3

(3, 8):   3² - 1 = 9 - 1 = 8

(4, 15):   4² - 1 = 16 - 1 = 15

So for any x:

(x, y)   y = x² - 1
