3x + 2x - x = 4x so just make something that is equal to 4x also. Like 5x - x.

an inlet pipe and a hose together can fill the pond in 10 hours. The inlet pipe alone can complete the job in one hour less time

Annette [7]

Answer:

The hose pipe can fill the pond in 21.465 hours.

The inlet pipe can fill the pond in 20.465 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that, a inlet pipe and a hose pipe together can fill the pond in 10 hours.

The inlet pipe alone can fill the pond in one hour less time than the hose pipe can fill the pond.

Let the hose pipe can complete the job in x hours.

Then the inlet pipe can fill the pond in (x-1) hours.

The rate of filling of hose pipe is $=\frac{1}{x}$

The rate of filling of inlet pipe is $=\frac{1}{x-1}$

The rate of filling of both pipes is = $\frac 1{10}$

According to the problem,

$\frac{1}{x}+\frac{1}{x-1}=\frac{1}{10}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{x-1+x}{x(x-1)}=\frac1{10}$ [ simplifying the fraction]

$\Rightarrow \frac{2x-1}{x^2-x}=\frac1{10}$

$\Rightarrow 10(2x-1)= x^2-x$ [ Multiplying 10(x²-x) both sides]

$\Rightarrow x^2-x= 20x-10$

$\Rightarrow x^2-x-20x+10=0$ [ simplifying ]

$\Rightarrow x^2-21x+10=0$

$\Rightarrow x=\frac{-(-21)\pm\sqrt{(-21)^2-4.1.10}}{2.1}$ [ applying quadratic formula]

$\Rightarrow x=\frac{21\pm21.93}{2.1}$

⇒ x= 21.465, -0.465

x= - 0.465 does not possible, since time can not be negative.

∴x=21.465

The hose pipe can fill the pond in 21.465 hours.

The inlet pipe can fill the pond in (21.465-1)=20.465 hours.

Describe the translation below using words and then write a rule for it.

Triss [41]

The transformation of the figure is a translation. The original figure moves over 2 squares, then down once. The rule would be (x-2, y-1)

I’m pretty sure the answer is correct but my wording may not be so good :|

1. for what constant k must f(k) always equal the constant term of f(x) for any polynomial f(x) 2. If we multiply a polynomial b

DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

1. k=0

2. yes, result is still a polynomial.

3. yes, f and g must have the same degree to have deg(f+g) < deg(f) or deg(g)

Step-by-step explanation:

1. for what constant k must f(k) always equal the constant term of f(x) for any polynomial f(x)

for k=0 any polynomial f(x) will reduce f(k) to the constant term.

2. If we multiply a polynomial by a constant, is the result a polynomial?

Yes, If we multiply a polynomial by a constant, the result is always a polynomial.

3. if deg(f+g) is less than both deg f and deg g, then must f and g have the same degree?

Yes.

deg(f+g) < deg(f) and

deg(f+g) < deg(g)

then it means that the two leading terms cancel out, which can happen only if f and g have the same degree.
