Answer:

24.83 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Let time taken by pumps be :

Pump A = 60 hours

Pump B = 80 hours

Pump C = 90 hours

Recall :

Rate = 1 / time taken

The rates of the pumps are :

Pump A rate = 1 / 60

Pump B rate = 1/80

Pump C rate = 1/90

Combined rate : 1/60 + 1/80 + 1/90

Combined rate = (12 + 9 + 8) / 720 = 29/720

Combined rate = 29/720

The time taken together will be :

1 / combined rate = 1/(29/720) = 720 / 29 = 24.827 hours

Write the following quotient in the form a+bi.<br> -7i/2-7i

Helga [31]

Answer:

$\large\boxed{\dfrac{49}{53}-\dfrac{14}{53}i}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\text{Use}\\\\i=\sqrt{-1}\to i^2=-1\\\\(a-b)(a+b)=a^2-b^2\to(a-bi)(a+bi)=a^2+b^2\\\\\text{distributive property}\ a(b+c)=ab+ac\\---------------------\\\\\dfrac{-7i}{2-7i}=\dfrac{-7i}{2-7i}\cdot\dfrac{2+7i}{2+7i}=\dfrac{-7i(2+7i)}{2^2+7^2}=\dfrac{(-7i)(2)+(-7i)(7i)}{4+49}\\\\=\dfrac{-14i-49i^2}{53}=\dfrac{-14i-49(-1)}{53}=\dfrac{-14i+49}{53}\\\\=\dfrac{49}{53}-\dfrac{14}{53}i$

1 - 3x = 3x + 1 solve for x

lakkis [162]

Answer: x = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

1 - 3x = 3x + 1

then add 3x on both sides

1 = 6x + 1

then subtract 1 on both sides

0 = 6x

then divide by 6 on both sides

0 = x

so x = 0

What is the effect on the graph f(x) = 1/x when it is transformed to g(x) = 1/x + 15?

kompoz [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

It is shifted 15 units up. Think of how you're solving for y, and by adding 15 to the equation, y increases by 15. If y increases by 15 the graph shifts up by 15. Hope that helps.
