If 12 workers can dig a tunnel in 100 days, how long will it take 20 workers to dig the tunnel

Paraphin [41]2 years ago

Answer:

60 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is  a proportion question. You compare two ratios. Unfortunately it is an inverse ratio.

12 = k/100                   Multiply both sides by 100

1200 = k

20 = k/x                       Multiply both sides by x

20x = k

20x = 1200                 Divide by 20

20x/20 = 1200/20

x = 60 days.  

An inverse proportion works by making a constant k. The  constant k makes the days shorter when the number of people increases. You should expect that. More people , less time.

Consider the function f ( x ) = − 2 x 3 + 27 x 2 − 108 x + 9 . For this function there are three important open intervals: ( − [
Darya [45]

Answer:

<em>A=3 and B=6</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Increasing and Decreasing Intervals of Functions</u>

Given f(x) as a real function and f'(x) its first derivative.

If f'(a)>0 the function is increasing in x=a

If f'(a)<0 the function is decreasing in x=a

If f'(a)=0 the function has a critical point in x=a

As we can see, the critical points may define open intervals where the function has different behaviors.

We have

f ( x ) = - 2 x^3 + 27 x^2 - 108 x + 9

Computing the first derivative:

f' ( x ) = - 6 x^3 + 54 x - 108

We find the critical points equating f'(x) to zero

- 6 x^3 + 54 x - 108=0

Simplifying by -6

x^2 -9 x +18=0

We get the critical points

x=3,\ x=6

They define the following intervals

(-\infty,3),\ (3,6),\ (6,+\infty)

Thus A=3 and B=6

A triangle has ∠A, ∠B, and ∠C.<br> ∠B is 20° more than ∠A.<br> ∠C is double ∠B.<br> How big is ∠A?
san4es73 [151]

Answer:

30°

Step-by-step explanation:

∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180

∠B = ∠A + 20

∠C = 2 * ∠B

<A + (∠A + 20) + (2 * ∠B) = 180

<A + (∠A + 20) + (2 * (∠A + 20)) = 180

<A + (∠A + 20) + 2∠A + 40 = 180

4∠A + 60 = 180

4∠A = 120

∠A = 30
