On their way up the hill, Jack and Jill were stopped by their parents. It seems the two of them were trying to skip out on some

chores. They were told to mow the lawn, clean the kitchen, and sweep the leaves off the deck. If Jack can complete all the chores in 3 hours by himself and Jill takes only 2.25 hours to get all of it done on her own, how many minutes will it take for the two of them to get the work done together

Answer:

77.14 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Jack's time = 3 hours

Jill's time = 2.25 hours = 2 1/4 = 9/4 hours

Combined time = x

Rates :

Jack = 1/3 ; jill = 1 / 2.25 = 1 / 9/4 = 4 /9

Combined rate = 1/x

Setting up the equation :

1/3 + 4/9 = 1/x

Lcm of 3 and 9 = 9

(3 + 4) / 9 = 1/x

7/9 = 1/x

Cross multiply :

7x = 9

x = 9/7 hours

x = (9/7)* 60

x = 77.14 minutes

Combined time = 77.14 minutes.

Solve each of the following quadratic equations<br><br> 3x=0.5x^2<br><br><br> 0=5x^2-2x+6
UNO [17]

<u>Question 1</u>

<u />3x=0.5x^{2}\\\\6x=x^{2} \\ \\ x^{2}-6x=0 \\ \\ x(x-6)=0 \\ \\ \boxed{x=0, 6}

<u>Question 2</u>

<u />0=5x^{2}-2x+6 \\ \\ x=\frac{2 \pm \sqrt{(-2)^{2}-4(5)(6)}}{2} \\ \\ x=\frac{2 \pm \sqrt{-116}}{10} \\ \\ x=\frac{2 \pm 2i\sqrt{29}}{10} \\ \\ \boxed{x=\frac{1 \pm i\sqrt{29}}{5}}

Find the volume of the largest rectangular box in the first octant with three faces in the coordinate planes and one vertex in t
makkiz [27]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x + 2y + 3z = 12

z=\frac{12-x-2y}{3}

Volume = V=f(x,y) = xy(\frac{12-x-2y}{3} )

find partial derivatives using product rule

f_x =\frac{y}{3} (12-2x-2y)\\f_y = \frac{x}{3} (12-x-4y)

i.e.

Using maximum for partial derivatives, we equate first partial derivative to 0.

y=0 or x+y =6

x=0 or x+4y =12

Simplify to get y =2, x = 4

thus critical points are (4,2) (6,0) (0,3)

Of these D the II derivative test gives

D<0 only for (4,2)

Hence maximum volume is when x=4, y=2, z= 4/3

Max volume is = 4(2)(4/3) = 32/3
