1 answer:

7 0

It takes them 1 7/8 hrs to complete the job together.

How:
Fred = 3 hrs
Jason = 5 hrs

1/3x + 1/5x = 1/x

3x x 5x = 15 —> 3x/15 + 5x/15 = 15/15

3x + 5x = 8x —> 8x/15 = 1.875 = 1 7/8 hrs

Which quadratic function is represented by the table ???

Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

B) f(x) = 3x² - 2x + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the correct quadratic function that represents the table, you must substitute [x] into the quadratic function.

A) f(x) = 3x² + 2x - 5

B) f(x) = 3x² - 2x + 5

C) f(x) = 2x² + 3x - 5

D) f(x) = 2x² - 2x + 5

A. 3(-2)² + 2(-2) - 5 =

3(4) - 4 - 5

12 - 4 - 5

12 - 9

= 3

B. 3(-2)² - 2(-2) + 5 =

3(4) + 4 + 5

12 + 9

= 21

C. 2(-2)² + 3(-2) -5 =

2(4) - 6 - 5

8 - 11

= - 3

D. 2(-2)² + 2(-2) + 5 =

2(4) - 4 + 5

8 - 4 + 5

8 + 1

= 9

Your correct answer is: B

Tower one, a cube with a hexagonal prism measures 15.6cm. Tower two, a cube with a cylinder measures 18.3cm. Tower 3, a hexagona

lina2011 [118]

Answer:

$Tower 4 = 23.9cm$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Tower one = 15.6 cm

Tower two = 18.3 cm

Tower 3 = 13.9 cm.

Required:

Height of the 4th tower

Represent a cube by X; a cylinder by Y and a hexagonal prism by Z

Tower one, a cube with a hexagonal prism = X + Z = 15.6

Tower two, a cube with a cylinder = X + Y = 18.3

Tower 3, a hexagonal prism with a cylinder = Z + Y = 13.9

$X + Z = 15.6$ ----- Equation 1

$X + Y = 18.3$ ----- Equation 2

$Z + Y = 13.9$ ----- Equation 3

Subtract equation 1 from 2

$(X + Y = 18.3) - (X + Z = 15.6)$

$X - X + Y - Z = 18.3 -15.6$

$Y - Z = 18.3 -15.6$

$Y - Z = 2.7$ ---- Equation 4

Add Equation 4 to Equation 3

$(Y - Z = 2.7) + (Z + Y = 13.9)$

$Y + Y - Z + Z = 2.7+ 13.9$

$2Y = 2.7+ 13.9$

$2Y = 16.6$

Divide both sides by 2

$\frac{2Y}{2} = \frac{16.6}{2}$

$Y = \frac{16.6}{2}$

$Y = 8.3cm$

Substitute $Y = 8.3cm$ in Equation 2 and 3

$X + Y = 18.3$ ----- Equation 2

$X + 8.3 = 18.3$

Subtract 8.3 from both sides

$X + 8.3 - 8.3 = 18.3 - 8.3$

$X = 18.3 - 8.3$

$X = 10cm$

$Z + Y = 13.9$ ----- Equation 3

$Z + 8.3 = 13.9$

Subtract 8.3 from both sides

$Z + 8.3 - 8.3 = 13.9 - 8.3$

$Z = 13.9 - 8.3$

$Z = 5.6cm$

So, we have that

$X = 10cm$

$Y = 8.3cm$

$Z = 5.6cm$

The question states that the 4th tower is made up of the three shapes;

This implies that;

$Tower 4 = X + Y + Z$

$Tower 4 = 10cm + 8.3cm + 5.6cm$

$Tower 4 = 23.9cm$

The height of the 4th tower is 23.9cm
