Answer:

1 1/3 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Pipe 1 alone:

fills the pool in 2 hours

in 1 hour, it fills 1/2 of the pool

Pipe 2 alone:

fills the pool in 4 hours

in 1 hour, it fills 1/4 of the pool

Pipe 1 and Pipe 2 working together:

fill the pool in x hours

in 1 hour, they fill 1/x of the pool

Working together, in 1 hour the two pipes fill 1/2 + 1/4 of the pool.

Working together, in 1 hour the two pipes fill 1/x of the pool.

Therefore,

1/2 + 1/4 = 1/x

2/4 + 1/4 = 1/x

3/4 = 1/x

x = 4/3

x = 1 1/3

Answer: 1 1/3 hours

2.85 rounded to the nearest hundredth <br> A. 2.861<br> B. 2.849<br> C. 2.842<br> D. 2.805
blagie [28]

Answer:

B) 2.849

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: 2.85 which is rounded to the nearest hundredth place.

To find the number, the thousandth place must be greater than or equal to 5.

Here 2.849 has the thousandth place greater than 5

When we round off 2.849 to the nearest hundredth place, we get

2.85

Therefore, answer is B) 2.849

Hope this will helpful.

Thank you.

Find the average rate of change for f(x) = x2 + 9x + 18 from x = −10 to x = 10. A) 3 B) 7 C) 9 D) 11
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

The average rate of change of f(x) in the closed interval [ a, b ] is

\frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}

Here [ a, b ] = [ - 10, 10 ], thus

f(b) = f(10) = 10² + 9(10) + 18 = 100 + 90 + 18 = 208

f(a) = f(- 10) = (- 10)² + 9(- 10) + 18 = 100 - 90 + 18 = 28, thus

average rate of change = \frac{208-28}{10-(-10)} = \frac{180}{20} = 9
