Answer:

It will take them 2 hours and 55 minutes to remove the shingles if they work together.

Step-by-step explanation:

The together rate is the sum of each separate rate.

In this problem:

Jackson's rate is 1/7

Martin's rate is 1/5.

The together rate is 1/x, which is what we want to find.

So

\frac{1}{7} + \frac{1}{5} = \frac{1}{x}

\frac{5 + 7}{35} = \frac{1}{x}

\frac{12}{35} = \frac{1}{x}

12x = 35

x = \frac{35}{12}

x = 2.9167

So 2 hours plus 0.9167 of an hour.

An hour has 60 minutes.

0.9167*60 = 55 minutes

So it will take them 2 hours and 55 minutes to remove the shingles if they work together.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

WE can use the following formula:

\frac{T}{X}+\frac{T}{Y}=1

Where "T" is the time time working together,

"X" the time for person X working alone and

"Y" is the time for person Y working alone.

Based on the data given in the exercise, we can identify that:

X=7\\Y=5

substituting these values into the formula and solving for "T", we get that this is:

\frac{T}{7}+\frac{T}{5}=1\\\\\frac{12T}{35}=1\\\\T=(1)(\frac{35}{12})\\\\T=2.9167\ hours

Since 1 hour has 60 minutes:

(0.9167h)(\frac{60min}{1h})\\=55min

<h3> </h3><h3>Therefore, if they work together, it will take them 2 hours and 55 minutes to remove the shingles.</h3>

One month Justin rented 3 movies and 5 video games for a total of $39. The next month he rented 9 movies and 7 video games for a
Leviafan [203]

Let m be the rental cost for movies.

Let v be the rental cost for video games.

We have the following system of linear equations:

3m + 5v= 38

6m + 2v = 26

Multiply the first equation by 2

6m + 10v = 76

6m + 2v = 26

Subtract the both equations.

8v = 50

Divide both sides by 50.

v = 6.25

Plug this value into any of the two equations to solve for m.

You get m=2.25

The rental cost for a movie is

<h2>$2.25</h2>

The rental cost for a video game is

<h2>$6.25 </h2>

Have an awesome day! :)

Answer:

Period = pi

Angular frequency = 2

Amplitude = 5

Midline is the line y = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

A sinusoidal wave is written in the general form as:

f(x) = A*cos(w*x) + C

Where:

- A is the amplitude.

- w is the angular frequency, this is equal to 2*pi/T

  where T is the period.

- y = C is the midline.

Then in the equation:

f(x) = 5*cos(2*x) + 3

- 5 is the amplitude.

- 2 is the angular frequency (in the image is called frequency, but this quantity must be in radians/time, while the normal frequency is only in Hz)

- We know that the angular frequency is equal to 2*pi/T, whit this eqation we can find the period:

2 = 2*pi/T

T = 2*pi/2 = pi

pi is the period.

- y = 3 is the midline.
