Two mechanics worked on a car. The first mechanic worked for 5 hours, and the second mechanic worked for 15 hours. Together they

charged a total of $2125. What was the rate charged per hour by each mechanic if the sum of the two rates was $205 per hour?

Answer:

The mechanic who worked 5 hours charged $115 per hour, the one who worked 15 hours charged $120 per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

x = rate of mechanic who worked 5 hours

y = rate of mechanic who worked 15 hours

Then

x + y = 235

5x + 15y = 2375

Just solve these 2 equations above for x and y.

x + y = 235 ⇒ x = 235 - y

Substitute into second equation to find y.

5(235 - y) + 15y = 2375

1175 - 5y + 15y = 2375

10y = 1200

y = 1200/10 = 120

x = 235 - y = 235 - 120 = 115

Write a unit rate for the situation. $1.98 for 6 bananas
USPshnik [31]
A unit rate is when you find a rate when one variable (or value) is equal to one.

Let's find the unit rate for the price of the bananas. 

1.98/6= 0.33

It is 33 cents for one banana. That is the unit rate. 

I hope this helps!

Given f'(x)=(x-4)(6-2x) find the x-coordinate for the relative minimum of the graph f(x).
vlabodo [156]
<span>The graph you plotted is the graph of f ' (x) and NOT f(x) itself. </span>

Draw a number line. On the number line plot x = 3 and x = 4. These values make f ' (x) equal to zero. Pick a value to the left of x = 3, say x = 0. Plug in x = 0 into the derivative function to get

f ' (x) = (x-4)(6-2x)
f ' (0) = (0-4)(6-2*0)
f ' (0) = -24

So the function is decreasing on the interval to the left of x = 3. Now plug in a value between 3 and 4, say x = 3.5

<span>f ' (x) = (x-4)(6-2x)
</span><span>f ' (3.5) = (3.5-4)(6-2*3.5)
</span>f ' (3.5) = 0.5

The function is increasing on the interval 3 < x < 4. The junction where it changes from decreasing to increasing is at x = 3. This is where the min happens.

So the final answer is C) 3

If c=25 and B=75 degrees, find a. Round to the nearest tenth.
worty [1.4K]

Answer:

a=6.9

Step-by-step explanation:

Since you know that C is a right angle, you can use the Law of Sines to find a. The first step is to find the size of the angle A, which is 180-74-90=16. Now, you set up a ratio that involves 3 knowns and one unknown to get \frac{\sin(90^\circ)}{25} = \frac{\sin(16^\circ)}{a}, which after cross multiplying yields a=\sin(16^\circ)\cdot25\approx 6.9. PM me if you have any questions?
