Answer:

6 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Time taken by Sam = 3 hours

Sam's rate = 1/3

Time taken : Sam + Laura = 2 hours

Sam's rate + Laura's rate = 1/2

Let time taken by Laura = x

1/3 + 1/x = 1/2

1/x = 1/2 - 1/3

1/x = (3 - 2) / 6

1/x = 1 /6

x = 6

Hencw, it will take 6 hours for Laura alone to rake leaves

Find all of the roots of the following quartic equation:<br> h(x)= x^4 - 2x^3 - 9x^2 + 18x

STEP

:
Pulling out like terms

4.1 Pull out like factors :

x4 - 2x3 - 9x2 + 18x =

x • (x3 - 2x2 - 9x + 18)

Checking for a perfect cube :

4.2 x3 - 2x2 - 9x + 18 is not a perfect cube

Trying to factor by pulling out :

4.3 Factoring: x3 - 2x2 - 9x + 18

Thoughtfully split the expression at hand into groups, each group having two terms :

Group 1: -9x + 18
Group 2: x3 - 2x2

Pull out from each group separately :

Group 1: (x - 2) • (-9)
Group 2: (x - 2) • (x2)
-------------------
Add up the two groups :
(x - 2) • (x2 - 9)
Which is the desired factorization

Trying to factor as a Difference of Squares:

4.4 Factoring: x2 - 9

Theory : A difference of two perfect squares, A2 - B2 can be factored into (A+B) • (A-B)

Proof : (A+B) • (A-B) =
A2 - AB + BA - B2 =
A2 - AB + AB - B2 =
A2 - B2

Note : AB = BA is the commutative property of multiplication.

Note : - AB + AB equals zero and is therefore eliminated from the expression.

Check : 9 is the square of 3
Check : x2 is the square of x1

Factorization is : (x + 3) • (x - 3)

Final result :
x • (x + 3) • (x - 3) • (x - 2)
