Dahasolnce [82]

Time taken by jerry alone is 10.1 hours

Time taken by callie alone is 8.1 hours

Solution:

Given:- For a certain prospectus Callie can prepare it two hours faster than Terry can

Let the time taken by Terry be "a" hours

So, the time taken by Callie will be (a-2) hours

Hence, the efficiency of Callie and Terry per hour is $\frac{1}{a-2} \text { and } \frac{1}{a} \text { respectively }$

If they work together they can do the entire prospectus in five hours

$\text {So, } \frac{1}{a-2}+\frac{1}{a}=\frac{1}{5}$

On cross-multiplication we get,

$\frac{a+(a-2)}{(a-2) \times a}=\frac{1}{5}$

$\frac{2 a-2}{(a-2) \times a}=\frac{1}{5}$

On cross multiplication ,we get

$\begin{array}{l}{5 \times(2 a-2)=a \times(a-2)} \\\\ {10 a-10=a^{2}-2 a} \\\\ {a^{2}-2 a-10 a+10=0} \\\\ {a^{2}-12 a+10=0}\end{array}$

using quadratic formula:-

$x=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^{2}-4 a c}}{2 a}$

$x=\frac{12 \pm \sqrt{144-40}}{2}$

$\begin{array}{l}{x=\frac{12 \pm \sqrt{144-40}}{2}} \\\\ {x=\frac{12 \pm \sqrt{104}}{2}} \\\\ {x=\frac{12 \pm 2 \sqrt{26}}{2}} \\\\ {x=6 \pm \sqrt{26}=6 \pm 5.1} \\\\ {x=10.1 \text { or } x=0.9}\end{array}$

If we take a = 0.9, then while calculating time taken by callie = a - 2 we will end up in negative value

Let us take a = 10.1

So time taken by jerry alone = a = 10.1 hours

Time taken by callie alone = a - 2 = 10.1 - 2 = 8.1 hours

Convert to the product of multiplication a^2-b^2-4b-4

kirill [66]

$a^2-b^2-4b-4$ in form of multiplication is $(a-b)(a+b)-4(b+1)$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that factors are the numbers that are being multiplied together . As 6532*7 = 45724 .Here 6532 & 7 are the factors and 45724 is product of the factors .

Here , we need to convert to the product of multiplication

a^2-b^2-4b-4 or , $a^2-b^2-4b-4$ :

⇒ $a^2-b^2-4b-4$

We know by identity that , $p^2-q^2 = (p-q)(p+q)$

⇒ $(a-b)(a+b)-4b-4$

Taking common term out as -4 :

⇒ $(a-b)(a+b)-4(b+1)$

Therefore , $a^2-b^2-4b-4$ in form of multiplication is $(a-b)(a+b)-4(b+1)$ .
