Answer:

Let's suppose that each person works at an hourly rate R.

Then if 4 people working 8 hours per day, a total of 15 days to complete the task, we can write this as:

4*R*(15*8 hours) = 1 task.

Whit this we can find the value of R.

R = 1 task/(4*15*8 h) = (1/480) task/hour.

a) Now suppose that we have 5 workers, and each one of them works 6 hours per day for a total of D days to complete the task, then we have the equation:

5*( (1/480) task/hour)*(D*6 hours) = 1 task.

We only need to isolate D, that is the number of days that will take the 5 workers to complete the task:

D = (1 task)/(5*6h*1/480 task/hour) = (1 task)/(30/480 taks) = 480/30 = 16

D = 16

Then the 5 workers working 6 hours per day, need 16 days to complete the job.

b) The assumption is that all workers work at the same rate R. If this was not the case (and each one worked at a different rate) we couldn't find the rate at which each worker completes the task (because we had not enough information), and then we would be incapable of completing the question.

10-d = -34-5d solve this equation
algol13
<h3><u>Explanation</u></h3>
  • Given the equation.

10 - d =  - 34 - 5d

  • Solve the equation for d-term.

Because we cannot subtract or add up constants and variables, we simply move the same variable term to the same side and constant term to the same constant side.

10 + 34 =  - 5d + d \\ 44 =  - 4d \\  \frac{44}{ - 4}  = d \\  - 11 = d

  • Answer Check

Substitute d = -11 in the equation.

10 - ( - 11) =  - 34 - 5( - 11) \\ 10 + 11 =  - 34 + 55 \\ 21 = 21

The equation is true for d = -11.

<h3><u>Answer</u></h3>

<u>\large \boxed{d =  - 11}</u>

Which of these tables represents a non-linear function?
olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

we conclude that the table ''A 2-column table with 4 rows. Column 1 is labeled x with entries 17, 18, 19, 20. Column 2 is labeled y with entries 16, 17, 19, 20'' represents a non-linear function.

Step-by-step explanation:

The nature of whether a function can be linear or non-linear, we must check how the x and y values of the table change. If the first difference between y-values remains the same (constant first difference), then the table will represent a linear function, otherwise not.

Given the x and y entries of the first table:

x            y

17           20

18           19

19           18

20          17

From the table, it is clear that as x constantly increases by 1 unit, the y-values are also changing constantly by 1 unit. The first difference between y-values remains the same.

i.e. 19-20=-1, 18-19=-1, 17-18=-1

Thus, this table represents a linear function.

Given the x and y entries of the second table:

x            y

17          -16

18          -17

19           -18

20          -19

From the table, it is clear that as x constantly increases by 1 unit, the y-values are also changing constantly by 1 unit. The first difference between y-values remains the same.

i.e. -17-(-16)=-1, -18-(-17)=-1, -19-(-18)=-1

Thus, this table represents a linear function.

Given the x and y entries of the second table:

x            y

17          16

18          17

19           19

20          20

From the table, it is clear that as x constantly increases by 1 unit, but the y-values are not changing constantly. The first difference between y-values does not remain the same.

i.e. 17- 16 = 1, 19 - 17 = 2, 20 - 19 = 1

Thus, this table does not represent a linear function. Hence, it is a non-linear function.

Given the x and y entries of the second table:

x            y

17          -20

18          -19

19           -18

20          -17

From the table, it is clear that as x constantly increases by 1 unit, the y-values are also changing constantly by 1 unit. The first difference between y-values remains the same.

i.e. -19-(-20)=1, -18-(-19)=1, -17-(-18)=1

Thus, this table represents a linear function.

Therefore, we conclude that the table ''A 2-column table with 4 rows. Column 1 is labeled x with entries 17, 18, 19, 20. Column 2 is labeled y with entries 16, 17, 19, 20'' represents a non-linear function.
