Answer:

The time it takes the first kitten to unwind the balls of yarn alone is 15 minutes

The time it takes the second kitten to unwind the balls of yarn alone is 10 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

The time it takes the two kitten to unwind the balls of yarn = 9 minutes faster than the first kitten working alone

The time it takes the two kitten to unwind the balls of yarn = 4 minutes faster than the second kitten working alone

Let 'x' represent the time it takes the first kitten to unwind the balls of yarn alone, let 'y' represent the time it takes the second kitten to unwind the balls of yarn alone, and let 't' represent the time it takes the two kitten to unwind the balls of yarn we have;

x = t + 9

y = t + 4

The rate of working, per ball of yarn, of the first kitten = 1/x = 1/(t + 9)

The rate of working, per ball of yarn, of the second kitten = 1/y = 1/(t + 4)

The amount of work each kitten does in the time 't', added together to unwind 1 ball of yarn is given as follows;

t/(t + 9) + t/(t + 4) = 1

(t·(t +4) + t·(t + 9))/(t + 4)×(t + 9) = 1

Using a graphing calculator, we have;

(2·t²+13·t)/(t² + 13·t + 36) = 1

∴ (2·t² + 13·t) = (t² + 13·t + 36)

(2·t² + 13·t) - (t² + 13·t + 36) = 0

t² - 36 = 0

t = √36 = 6

t = 6

x = t + 9 = 6 + 9 = 15

The time it takes the first kitten to unwind the balls of yarn alone, x = 15 minutes

y = t + 4 = 6 + 4 = 10

The time it takes the second kitten to unwind the balls of yarn alone, y = 10 minutes

The simplification of the polynomial expression will give 3x² - 20x + 8.

<h3>How to illustrate the polynomial?</h3>

The polynomial expression is given as:

(5x² + 13x4) (17x² + 7x - 19) + (5x-7)(3x + 1)

= 5x² + 13x - 4 - 17x² - 7x + 19 + 15x² + 5x - 21x - 7

Then collect like terms

= 5x² + 15x² - 17x² + (13x - 7x + 5x - 21x) - 4 - 7 + 19

= 3x² - 20x + 8.

A number sentence is shown below:
d1i1m1o1n [39]

Number sentence is simply a sentence, that uses numbers and arithmetic signs.

  • The context that can be created from the sentence is: <em>How many bits are there, in </em>32\frac 14 bytes
  • The verbal meaning of 32\frac 14 \div \frac 18 = 258 is:  <em>When </em>32\frac 14<em> is divided by </em>\frac 18<em>, the result is </em>258<em />

<em />

Given

32\frac 14 \div \frac 18 = 258

<u />

<u>(a) Context or story</u>

A context is as follows:

<em>There are 8 bits in a byte; How many bits are there, in </em>32\frac 14 bytes

<u />

<u>(b) As a multiplication</u>

32\frac 14 \div \frac 18 = 258

Change the <em>division to multiplication </em>as follows:

32\frac 14 \times \frac 81 = 258

<u />

<u>(c) Verbal explanation how the numbers are related</u>

When 32\frac 14 is divided by \frac 18, the result is 258
