The archway of the main entrance of a university is modeled by the quadratic equation

Scilla [17]

Answer:

B. (1,5) and (5.25, 3.94)

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer is where the 2 equations intersect.

We need to solve the following system of equations:

y = -x^2 + 6x

4y = 21 - x

From the second equation:

x = 21 - 4y

Plug this into the first equation:

y = -(21 - 4y)^2 + 6(21 - 4y)

y = -(441 - 168y + 16y^2)+ 126 - 24y

y = -441 + 168y - 16y^2 + 126 - 24y

16y^2 + y - 168y + 24y + 441 - 126 = 0

16y^2 - 143y + 315 = 0

y = [-(-143) +/- sqrt ((-143)^2 - 4 * 16 * 315)]/ (2*16)

y = 5, 3.938

When y = 5:

x = 21 - 4(5) = 1

When y = 3.938

x = 21 - 4(3.938) = 5.25.

Joe can cut and split a cord of firewood in 3 fewer hours than Dwight can. When they work together, it takes them 2 hours. How

aalyn [17]

Answer:

Dwight will take 6 hours to finish the job alone and Joe will take 3 hours to finish the job alone.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume the time taken by Dwight to split a cord of firewood = K hrs

So, the per hour rate of Dwight = $(\frac{1}{K})$

As, Joe uses 3 LESS hours then Dwight.

So, the time taken by Joe to split a cord of firewood = (K- 3) hrs

So, the per hour rate of Joe = $(\frac{1}{K-3})$

Now, when both of them wok together, it takes them 2 hours.

So, the per hour rate of BOTH of them = $(\frac{1}{2})$

⇒ Per hour rate of ( Dwight + Joe) = $(\frac{1}{2} )$

$\implies (\frac{1}{K}) + (\frac{1}{K-3}) = (\frac{1}{2})$

Now, solving for the value of K , we get:

$(\frac{1}{K}) + (\frac{1}{K-3}) = (\frac{1}{2})\\\implies \frac{(K-3) + K}{K (K-3)} = (\frac{1}{2})\\\implies 2(2K -3) = K^2 - 3K\\\implies k^2 - 3K -4K +6 = 0\\\implies K^2 - 7K + 6= 0\\\implies K^2 - 6K - K + 6= 0\\\implies K(K-6) -1(K - 6)= 0\\\implies (K-6)(K-1) = 0$

Implies either K = 6 Or K = 1

But if K = 1, (K-3) = 1- 3 = -2 hours would be A CONTRADICTION.

⇒ K = 6 hours

Hence, Dwight will take 6 hours to finish the job alone and Joe will take (k-3) = (6-3) = 3 hours to finish the job alone.

How many pounds and ounces are there in 26 oz?

a_sh-v [17]

1 pound = 16 ounces

_ pound = 26 ounces

Multiply 1 × 26 = 26

Divide 26 ÷ 16 = 1.625 or 2

So, 1.625 or 2 pounds will equal to 26 ounces.

Hope this helps :)
