Answer: it will take the faster computer 15 minutes to do the job on its own.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let t represent the number of minutes it will take the faster computer to do the job on its own. It means that the rate at which it does the job per minute is 1/t
If it takes the slower computer 30 minutes to do the job on its own. It means that the rate at which it does the job on its own per minute is 1/30
By working together, they would work simultaneously and their individual rates are additive. Working together it takes two computers 10 minutes to send out a company's email. It means that the rate at which both computers work together per minute is 1/10 Therefore,
1/t + 1/30 = 1/10
Cross multiplying by 30x, it becomes
3x = x + 30
3x - x = 30
2x = 30
x = 30/2
x = 15 minutes
Answer:
y = 14.5
Step-by-step explanation:
given that y varies directly as x
mathematically,
y ∝ x
y = kx .............................................. where k is the constant of proportionality.
k = y /x
given that
y = 79
x = 49
k = 79/49
k = 1.61
to find y when x = 9
from
y = kx
y = 1.61 × 9
y = 14.5
therefore the value of y when x = 9 in ths variation is evaluated to be equals to 14.5
If you want to multiply the two functions, the answer is a.
In fact, you have
If we let x as the number of years of service in the company and f(x) as the increase in the wage, the step wise function that describes the scenario is
f(x) = { 0.5, x < 3
{ 1.0, 3 ≤ x < 6
{ 1.5, 6 ≤ x < 9
{ 2.0, 9 ≤ x < 12
The point (2, 12) represents the wage increase of x < 12
Uhh thats a test...... a or b
