Answer:

Joe: 3 hrs

Janet: 6hrs

Step-by-step explanation:

joe takes x hours

so in 1 hr he does 1/x of the garden

janet takes 2x hours

so in 1 hr she does 1/(2x) of the garden

In one hour together they do 1/2 of the garden

1/x + 1/(2x) = 1/2

2/(2x) + 1/(2x) = 1/2

3/(2x) = 1/2

Cross multiply

6 = 2x

x = 3

Joe: 3 hrs

Janet: 6hrs

The measure of the vertex angle of an isosceles triangle is 92. Find the measure of a base angle
Andrej [43]

Answer:

44°

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the angles in a triangle = 180°

In an isosceles triangle the base angles are equal, thus

base angle = \frac{180-92}{2} = \frac{88}{2} = 44°

evablogger [386]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that confidence level is 95% and sample mean is within 10 minutes of the population mean.  i.e. margin of error = 10

Std deviation of population= 211 minutes

Margin of error = Z critical * std error

Std error = sigma/sq rt n = \frac{211}{\sqrt{n} }

Hence we have

\frac{211}{\sqrt{n} }\frac{211}{\sqrt{n} }*1.9641.356\\n>1710

The minimum sample size is 1710

a) There may not be 1,809 computer users to survey

FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given is a function of x

f(x) = xe^{-x}

When y=0 we get x=0 and infinity

Hence x intercept is 0 and one asymptote is x axis.

When x=0 , y =0

f'(x) = e^{-x}(-x+1)

f''(x) = e^{-x}(x-1-1)

Maxima at x=1, and point of inflection is at x=2

Increasing upto x=1 and then decreases

Graph is enclosed
