Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This is an inverse proportion.

men = k / Time         So first we need to find k

k = men * Time         Substitute values

k = 15*80

k = 1200  Notice the units are man days.

Now what happens if we increase the number of men to 20? What happens to the number of days.

20 = 1200 / time          Multiply both sides by time

20*time = 1200            Now divide by 20

time = 1200/20

Answer: time = 60 days

Elodia [21]

Answer:

4\frac{1}{20}

Step-by-step explanation:

6\frac{3}{4} \div 1\frac{2}{3}

\frac{27}{4} \div \frac{5}{3}

\frac{27}{4} \times \frac{3}{5}

\frac{27 \times 3}{4 \times 5}

=\frac{81}{20}

=4\frac{1}{20}

Write an equation for the parabolla
pentagon [3]

well, is noteworthy that an x-intercept is when y = 0 or namely is a solution or root of the quadratic, so we know then that the x-intercepts or solutions are at (-1,0) and (3,0), that simply means that

\bf (\stackrel{x}{-1},\stackrel{y}{0})\qquad (\stackrel{x}{3},\stackrel{y}{0})\qquad \begin{cases} x = -1\\ x+1=0\\ \cline{1-1} x=3\\ x-3=0 \end{cases}~\hfill \implies ~\hfill \stackrel{\textit{equation of the parabola}}{y = a(x+1)(x-3)} \\\\\\ \textit{we also know that } \begin{cases} x = 1\\ y = -8 \end{cases}\implies \underline{-8}=a(\underline{1}+1)(\underline{1}-3)

\bf -8=a(2)(-2)\implies -8=-4a\implies \cfrac{-8}{-4}=a\implies \boxed{2=a} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ y=2(x+1)(x-3)\implies y=2(\stackrel{\mathbb{FOIL}}{x^2-2x-3})\implies y=2x^2-4x-6

Please help me with Part C of this question!!!
anzhelika [568]

Answer:

  a. 3/4 inches per minute

  b. -1 1/8 inches per minute

  c. B is fastest; 1 1/8 is more than 3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

A <em>change</em> is a <em>difference</em>. A <em>rate of change</em> is <em>one difference divided by another</em>, usually the change in y-value divided by the change in x-value.

__

<h3>a.</h3>

The change in elevation is the difference between the elevation at the end of the period (6 inches) and the elevation at the beginning of the period (3 inches). The change in time period is the difference between the end time (8 min) and the beginning time (4 min).

  change in elevation per minute = (6 -3 inches)/(8 -4 min)

  = (3 inches)/(4 min) = 3/4 inches/minute

__

<h3>b.</h3>

Similarly, ...

  change in elevation per minute = (3 -7 1/2 inches)/(18 -14 min)

  = (-4 1/2 inches)/(4 min) = -1 1/8 inches/minute

__

<h3>c.</h3>

We know that 3/4 is more than -1 1/8, but when we talk about the "fastest rate of change", we're generally interested in the magnitude--the value without the sign. That means we understand a rate of change of -1 1/8 inches per minute to be "faster" than a rate of change of 3/4 inches per minute.

The rate of change from Part B is fastest. 1 1/8 inches per minute is more than 3/4 inches per minute.

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the formulas

V=πr2h

3

l=r2+h2

Solving forV

V=1

3πr2l2﹣r2=1

3·π·42·52﹣42≈50.26548cm³
