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:

ax^{2} + bx + c, a\neq0.

This polynomial has roots x_{1}, x_{2} such that ax^{2} + bx + c = a(x - x_{1})*(x - x_{2}), given by the following formulas:

x_{1} = \frac{-b + \sqrt{\Delta}}{2*a}

x_{2} = \frac{-b - \sqrt{\Delta}}{2*a}

\Delta = b^{2} - 4ac

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

\frac{1}{4} = \frac{1}{x} + \frac{1}{15+x}

\frac{1}{4} = \frac{15 + x + x}{x(15+x)}

\frac{1}{4} = \frac{15 + 2x}{x(15+x)}

Applying cross multiplication.

x^2 + 15x = 4(15 + 2x)

x^2 + 15x = 60 + 8x

x^2 + 7x - 60 = 0

Quadratic equation with a = 1, b = 7, c = -60. So

\Delta = 7^{2} - 4*1*60 = 289

x_{1} = \frac{-7 + \sqrt{289}}{2} = 5

x_{2} = \frac{-7 - \sqrt{289}}{2} = -12

Since the time to complete the job has to be a positive value.

Jennifer would complete the job on her own in 5 hours.

When an object is thrown upwards with a speed of 64 ft/sec, its height above the ground is given by the function h(t)=−16t2+64t
Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

The object will reach its highest point 0.5 seconds after it has been thrown.

Step-by-step explanation:

The object reaches its maximum height when velocity is equal to zero, the velocity is the derivative of function height. That is:

v(t) = \frac{d}{dt}h(t) (1)

Where v(t) is the velocity of the object at time t, in feet per seconds.

If we know that h(t) =-16\cdot t^{2}+64\cdot t and v(t) = 0\,\frac{ft}{s}, then the time when object reaches its highest point is:

v(t) = -32\cdot t+64

-32\cdot t + 64 = 0

t = 0.5\,s

The object will reach its highest point 0.5 seconds after it has been thrown.

What function is the inverse of the exponential function y = (1.5)x?
vagabundo [1.1K]

Correct question is;

What function is the inverse of the exponential function y = 1.5^(x)?

Answer:

y = log_1.5_x

Step-by-step explanation:

The inverse of exponential functions is usually written in form of logarithm.

For example inverse of y = p^(x) will be written as; y = log_p_(x)

Similarly applying this same pattern to our exponential function y = 1.5^(x), we have the inverse as;

y = log_1.5_x

Find each percent of change. Round yo the nearest whole percent if necessary. <br><br> 55 to 35
Reptile [31]
So subtract 55 from 35

35 - 55 = -20

then, put -20 over 55

-20/55 equals -0.36 repeating, rounded to -0.36, which equals 36%

the negative stands for decrease, so it's around 36% decrease

F(x) = 4x + 7, g(x) = 3x^2 Find (f + g)(x)
kondor19780726 [428]
For the functions f(x) = 4x + 7 and g(x) = -9x + 11, find f(g(0)). For the functions f(x) = 3x2 - 7 and g(x) = -3x2 + 4, find f(g(2)). (Do NOT put commas in large numbers.)
