In a particular triathlon the athletes cover 1/24 of the total distance by

Mathematics

pav-90 [236]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

15/8

Step-by-step explanation:

Let "d" be the total distance, that is, the distance for swimming (s), running (r) and going by bike (b).

d = s + r + b   [1]

1/24 of the total distance is covered by  swimming.

s = 1/24 d   [2]

1/3 of the distance is covered by running.

r = 1/3 d  [3]

If we replace [2] and [3] in [1], we get

d = 1/24 d + 1/3 d + b

b = d - 1/24 d - 1/3 d

b = 24/24 d - 1/24 d - 8/24 d

b = 15/24 d = 5/8 d

The ratio of  the distance covered by bike to the distance covered by running is:

b/r = (5/8 d)/(1/3 d) = 15/8

The cost, C(x),for manufacturing x units of certain product Is given byC(x)=x^2-20x+35, find the units manufactured at a cost of
Rainbow [258]

Answer:

No units

Step-by-step explanation:

The cost function is given by;

C(x)=x^2-20x+35

To find the units manufactured at a cost of $5,560

We equate the C(x) to 5560 and solve for x.

x^2-20x+35 = 5560

x^2-20x+35 - 5560 = 0

x^2-20x - 5525= 0

The discriminant of this equation is negative.

That is,

d =  {( - 20)}^{2}  - 4 \times 1 \times  - 5560 \:  < 0

Hence the equation has no real roots.

This means no units can be produced at $5,560

schepotkina [342]

Answer:

1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us consider the case of 3 numbers: x, y, and z.  

Then  x/x+y+z + y/x+y+z + z/x+y+z = x+y+z/x+y+z = 1

The same works also for any quantity of numbers.
