Answer:
Jennifer would complete the job on her own in 5 hours.
Step-by-step explanation:
Solving a quadratic equation:
Given a second order polynomial expressed by the following equation:
.
This polynomial has roots such that
, given by the following formulas:
Rates
The together rate is the sum of their separates rate.
We have that:
Jennifer takes x hours to complete the job on her own, so her rate is 1/x.
Carl needs 15 hours longer than Jennifer, that is, 15 + x hours, so his rate is 1/(15+x).
The together rate is 1/4. So
Applying cross multiplication.
Quadratic equation with . So
Since the time to complete the job has to be a positive value.
Jennifer would complete the job on her own in 5 hours.
<h3>Answer: n = -11</h3>
The other choices are false, so choice C is the only solution here.
==================================================
Explanation:
Draw a number line. You'll have 0 in the center, with positive values on the right. The positive values increase 1,2,3,4,... as you move from left to right.
The negative values will go in the opposite direction. When going from right to left, we have -1, -2, -3, -4, ...
See the diagram below.
Now plot an open hole at -7 on the number line. The open hole says that we exclude this value from the solution set. Then we shade everything to the left of the open circle. This visually describes all values smaller than -7. Something like -2 is not to the left of -7, meaning -2 < -7 is false. But a value like -10 is to the left of -7, making -10 < -7 true.
With that in mind, the answer is n = -11 since -11 is to the left of -7. Of the values in the answer choices, it's the only thing to the left of -7.
The value n = -7 cannot be the solution because n < -7 would become -7 < -7 which is false.
