If it takes one person 4 hours to paint a room and another person 12 hours to
paint the same room, working together they could paint the room even quicker, it
turns out they would paint the room in 3 hours together. This can be reasoned by
the following logic, if the first person paints the room in 4 hours, she paints 14 of
the room each hour. If the second person takes 12 hours to paint the room, he
paints 1 of the room each hour. So together, each hour they paint 1 + 1 of the 12 4 12
room. Using a common denominator of 12 gives: 3 + 1 = 4 = 1. This means 12 12 12 3
each hour, working together they complete 13 of the room. If 13 is completed each hour, it follows that it will take 3 hours to complete the entire room.
This pattern is used to solve teamwork problems. If the first person does a job in A, a second person does a job in B, and together they can do a job in T (total). We can use the team work equation.
Teamwork Equation: A1 + B1 = T1
Often these problems will involve fractions. Rather than thinking of the first frac-
tion as A1 , it may be better to think of it as the reciprocal of A’s time.
World View Note: When the Egyptians, who were the first to work with frac- tions, wrote fractions, they were all unit fractions (numerator of one). They only used these type of fractions for about 2000 years! Some believe that this cumber- some style of using fractions was used for so long out of tradition, others believe the Egyptians had a way of thinking about and working with fractions that has been completely lost in history.
The value of <em>a</em> and <em>b</em> for the data values of stalk of corn using the logarithmic regression is -76.2038 and 37.6735 respectively.
<h3>What is logarithmic regression?</h3>
Logarithmic regression is a type of regression which is used to model the statement in which the growth or decay initially at rapid rate, and then slow down with respect to time.
The data of the table for the day and height of the stalk of corn is listed below.
Day (<em>x</em>) 9 12 22 40
Height (<em>y</em>) in 5 17 45 60
Mean of x values,
Mean of y values,
For the above table, the value of correlation coefficient is 0.99133. For these values, the logarithmic regression can be given as,
Compare it with the following logarithmic regression equation, we get
Hence, the value of <em>a</em> and <em>b</em> for the data values of stalk of corn using the logarithmic regression is -76.2038 and 37.6735 respectively.

In ∆FDH, there are two slash marks in two of its legs. This indicates that this triangle is isosceles. If a triangle is isosceles, then it will have two congruent sides and therefore have two congruent angles.
In ∆FDH, angle D is already given to us as the measure of 80°. We can find out the measure of the other angles of this triangle by using the equation:
80 + 2x = 180
Subtract 80 from both sides of the equation.
2x = 100
Divide both sides by 2.
x = 50
This means that angle F and angle H in ∆FDH both measure 50°.
Now, moving over to the next smaller triangle in the picture is ∆DHG. In this triangle, there are also two legs that are congruent which once again indicates that this triangle is isosceles.
First, we have to solve for angle DHG and we do that by using the information obtained from solving for the angles of the other triangle.
**In geometry, remember that two or more consecutive angles that form a line will always be supplementary; the angles add up to 180°.**
In this case angle DHF and angle DHG are consecutive angles which form a linear pair. So, we can use the equation:
Angle DHF + Angle DHG = 180°
50° + Angle DHG = 180°.
Angle DHG = 130°.
Now that we know the measure of one angle in ∆DHG, we can use the same method as the previous step for solving the missing angles. Use the equation:
130 + 2x = 180
2x = 50
x = 25
The other two missing angles of ∆DHG are 25°. This means that the measure of angle 1 is also 25°.
Solution: 25°
