Answer:

225\:\text{minutes}

Step-by-step explanation:

To navigate through this problem, start by finding how much each senator can complete in a fixed amount of time. I'll choose 10 as it's the greatest common factor of 30 and 50.

In 10 minutes, the junior senator can complete \frac{10}{50}=\frac{1}{5} of the labyrinth.

In 10 minutes, the senior senator can complete \frac{10}{30}=\frac{1}{3} of the labyrinth.

Therefore, working together, they can complete \frac{1}{5}+\frac{1}{3}=\frac{8}{15} of the labyrinth in 10 minutes. Thus, it will take them \frac{15}{8}\cdot 10 \text{ minutes}=18.75\:\text{minutes} to complete one labyrinth.

The amount of time it take them to complete 12 labyrinths is then 18.75\cdot 12 =\boxed{225\:\text{minutes}}

If (x + 2 ) is a factor of x3 − 6x2 + kx + 10, k =
BartSMP [9]
If a binomial x-a is a factor of a polynomial p(x), then p(a)=0.

x+2 is a factor of p(x)=x³-6x²+kx+10, so p(-2)=0.

p(-2)=0 \\
(-2)^3 - 6 \times (-2)^2 + k \times (-2) + 10=0 \\
-8-6 \times 4-2k+10=0 \\
-8-24-2k+10=0 \\
-2k-22=0 \\
-2k=22 \\
k=\frac{22}{-2} \\
\boxed{k=-11}
