<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answers is:

The first mechanic's rate is $70 per hour.

The second mechanic's rate is $110 per hour.

<h2>Why?</h2>

Let's write the given information in order to make the equations that will help us to solve this problem.

Let be "x" the first mechanic's rate and "y" the second mechanic's rate, so:

If the first mechanic worked for 5 hours and the second mechanic worked for 15 hours, and the together charged a total of $2000.

5x+15y=2000

Also, we know that the sum of the two rates was $170 per hour, so:

x+y=180

Then, isolating "x" and replacing it into the first equation, we have:

x=180-y

5(180-y)+15y=2000

900-5y+15y=2000

10y=2000-900

10y=1100

y=\frac{1100}{10}=110

So, the second mechanic's rate is $110 per hour.

Now, to calculate the first mechanic's rate we need to replace "y" into the second equation:

x+y=180\\x+110=180\\x=180-110=70

So, the first mechanic's rate is $70 per hour.

Have a nice day!

All you have to do is combine like terms here...all the x's and then all the constants.  2.3x + 2x -.2x = 4.1x; 14 + 15 = 29, so the perimeter is 4.1x + 29,  A above.

Part A: Create a third-degree polynomial in standard form. How do you know it is in standard form? (5 points)
Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

(See explanation for further details)

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Let consider the polynomial p(x) = 5\cdot x^{3} +2\cdot x^{2} - 6 \cdot x +17. The polynomial is in standards when has the form p(x) = \Sigma \limit_{i=0}^{n} \,a_{i}\cdot x^{i}, where n is the order of the polynomial. The example has the following information:

n = 3, a_{0} = 17, a_{1} = -6, a_{2} = 2, a_{3} = 5.

b) The closure property means that polynomials must be closed with respect to addition and multiplication, which is demonstrated hereafter:

Closure with respect to addition:

Let consider polynomials p_{1} and p_{2} such that:

p_{1} = \Sigma \limits_{i=0}^{m} \,a_{i}\cdot x^{i} and p_{2} = \Sigma \limits_{i=0}^{n}\,b_{i}\cdot x^{i}, where m \geq n

p_{1}+p_{2} = \Sigma \limits_{i=0}^{n}\,(a_{i}+b_{i})\cdot x^{i} + \Sigma_{i=n+1}^{m}\,a_{i} \cdot x^{i}

Hence, polynomials are closed with respect to addition.

Closure with respect to multiplication:

Let be p_{1} a polynomial such that:

p_{1} = \Sigma \limits_{i=0}^{m} \,a_{i}\cdot x^{i}

And \alpha an scalar. If the polynomial is multiplied by the scalar number, then:

\alpha \cdot p_{1} = \alpha \cdot \Sigma \limits_{i = 0}^{m}\,a_{i}\cdot x^{i}

Lastly, the following expression is constructed by distributive property:

\alpha \cdot p_{1} = \Sigma \limits_{i=0}^{m}\,(\alpha\cdot a_{i})\cdot x^{i}

Hence, polynomials are closed with respect to multiplication.
