Answer:

  • 50 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Jamie's working speed is:</u>

  • 1/75 job/min

<u>And Bob's speed is</u>:

  • 1/x job/min

<u>Their working speed together is:</u>

  • 1/75 + 1/x = 1/30

<u>Solving for x:</u>

  • 1/x = 1/30 - 1/75
  • 1/x = 5/ 150 - 2/150
  • 1/x = 3/150
  • 1/x = 1/50
  • x = 50

Bob can do the job in 50 minutes

Write the equation in vertex form: Vertex is (1.-3) and passes through the point (-1,5)
boyakko [2]

Answer:

y = 2(x - 1)² - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a parabola in vertex form is

y = a(x - h)² + k

where (h, k) are the coordinates of the vertex and a is a multiplier

Here (h, k) = (1, - 3), thus

y = a(x - 1)² - 3

To find a substitute (- 1, 5) into the equation

5 = a(- 1 - 1)² - 3

5 = (- 2)²a - 3 ( add 3 to both sides )

8 = 4a ( divide both sides by 4 )

a = 2

Thus

y = 2(x - 1)² - 3 ← in vertex form
