==================================================
Explanation:
Jane does the job alone and she can finish it in 5 hours. Her rate is 1/5 of a job per hour. By "job", I mean painting the entire fence. Notice that multiplying 1/5 by the number of hours she works will yield the value 1 to indicate one full job is done.
Through similar reasoning, Paul's rate is 1/6 of a job per hour.
Let x be the time, in hours, it takes Peter to get the job done if he worked alone. His rate is 1/x of a job per hour.
Combining the three individual rates gives
1/5 + 1/6 + 1/x = (6x)/(30x) + (5x)/(30x) + (30)/(30x)
1/5 + 1/6 + 1/x = (6x+5x+30)/(30x)
1/5 + 1/6 + 1/x = (11x+30)/(30x)
The expression (11x+30)/(30x) is the total rate if the three people worked together. This is assuming neither worker slows another person down.
Set this equal to 1/2 as this is the combined rate (based on the fact everyone teaming up gets the job done in 2 hours). Then solve for x
(11x+30)/(30x) = 1/2
2(11x+30) = 30x*1 .... cross multiply
22x+60 = 30x
60 = 30x-22x
60 = 8x
8x = 60
x = 60/8
x = 7.5
It takes Peter 7.5 hours, or 7 hours 30 minutes, to get the job done if he worked alone.
--------------
Here's another equation to solve though its fairly the same idea as above
1/5 + 1/6 + 1/x = 1/2
30x*(1/5 + 1/6 + 1/x) = 30x*(1/2) ... multiply both sides by LCD
30x(1/5) + 30x(1/6) + 30x(1/x) = 30x(1/2)
6x + 5x + 30 = 15x
11x + 30 = 15x
30 = 15x-11x
30 = 4x
4x = 30
x = 30/4
x = 7.5
We get the same answer
Answer: 7 . 5 hrs
Step-by-step explanation:
It takes Jane 5 hours to finish the fence so she can get [tex]\dfrac{1}{5}[/tex] of the job done in 1 hour.
It takes Paul 6 hours to finish the fence so he can get [tex]\dfrac{1}{6}[/tex] of the job done in 1 hour.
It takes Peter x hours to finish the fence so he can get [tex]\dfrac{1}{x}[/tex] of the job done in 1 hour.
Together, it takes them 2 hours to finish the fence so they can get [tex]\dfrac{1}{2}[/tex] of the job done in 1 hour.
Jane + Paul + Peter = Together
[tex]\dfrac{1}{5}\quad +\quad \dfrac{1}{6}\quad +\quad \dfrac{1}{x}\quad =\quad \dfrac{1}{2}[/tex]
Multiply everything by 30x to eliminate the denominator:
[tex]\dfrac{1}{5}(30x) + \dfrac{1}{6}(30x) +\dfrac{1}{x}(30x) =\dfrac{1}{2}(30x)[/tex]
Simplify and solve for x:
6x + 5x + 30 = 15x
11x + 30 = 15x
30 = 4x
[tex]\dfrac{30}{4}=x[/tex]

[tex]2x-4=0\\\frac{2x=4}{2} \\x=2[/tex]
Answer:
[tex]\boxed{x = 2}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
A rational expression is undefined when Denominator = 0
Here Denominator = 2x-4
So,

Adding 4 to both sides
=> 2x = 4
Dividing both sides by 2

If the polynomial - 6 + 16 - 25x + 10 is divided by - 2x + k, the remainder comes out to be x + a, find k and a
Answer:
k=5
a= -5
Step-by-step explanation:
if the polynomial x^4-6x^3+16x^2-25x+10 is divided by x^2-2x+k the remainder comes out to be x+a,find k and a
Solution
x^4-6x^3+16x^2-25x+10 / x^2-2x+k = x-a
We have,
(4k-25+16-2k)x+[10-k(8-k)] = x+a
(2k+9)x + (10-8k+k^2)=x+a
2k-9=1
2k=1+9
2k=10
Divide both sides by 2
2k/2=10/2
k=5
And
10-8k+k^2=a
10-8(5)+(5^2)=a
10-40+25=a
-5=a
Therefore, a=-5
x^4-6x^3+16x^2-25x+10 divided by x^2-2x+5 = x-5

y < (-1/5)x + 1
The boundary line is y = (-1/5)x+1 as it goes through the points shown. The boundary line is dashed or dotted, meaning that points on this boundary line are not in the solution set. So we will not have an "or equal to" as part of the inequality sign. More specifically, the inequality sign is "less than" because we shade below the boundary line. So that's how we end up with y < (-1/5)x+1.

On a coordinate plane, 2 lines are shown. Line H J has points (negative 4, negative 2) and (0, 4). Line F G has points (negative 4, 1) and (0, negative 2). Which statement best explains the relationship between lines FG and HJ? They are perpendicular because their slopes are equal. They are perpendicular because their slopes are negative reciprocals. They are not perpendicular because their slopes are equal. They are not perpendicular because their slopes are not negative reciprocals.
Answer:
They are not perpendicular because their slopes are not negative reciprocals.
Step-by-step explanation:
Well first we need to find slope.
[tex]\frac{y^2-y^1}{x^2-x^1}[/tex]
Line HJ)
(-4,-2) , (0,4)
y2 is 4 y1 is -2, so 4 - -2 = 6
0 - -4 = 4
6/4 -> 3/2
Due to the point (0,4) having no x value 4 is the y intercept.
Hence, y = 3/2x + 4 is the slope of line HJ
Line FG)
(-4,1) , (0,-2)
y2 is -2 y1 is 1, so -2 - 1 = -3
0- -4 = 4
Because (0,-2) is missing an x value -2 is the y intercept,
Equation: y = -3/4x - 2
They are not perpendicular because their slopes are not negative reciprocals.
The slope of HJ (3/2) and the slope of FG (-3/4) are not negative reciprocal, so, they are not perpendicular. (Option D).
Recall:
Lines that are parallel will have the same slope.Lines that are perpendicular to each other will have slope values that are negative reciprocal of each other.Slope (m) = [tex]\frac{y_2- y_1}{x_2 - x_1}[/tex]Given that lines HJ (blue line) and FG (red line) are on a coordinate plane as shown in the diagram attached below, let's find their slope:
Slope of line HJ:
[tex]Slope (m) = \frac{-2 - 4}{-4 -0} = \frac{-6}{-4} = \frac{3}{2}[/tex]
Slope of HJ is 3/2Slope of line FG:
[tex]Slope (m) = \frac{-2 - 1}{0-(-4)} = \frac{-3}{4} = -\frac{3}{4}[/tex]
Slope of FG is -3/4Therefore, the slope of HJ (3/2) and the slope of FG (-3/4) are not negative reciprocal, so, they are not perpendicular. (Option D).

The linear function f (x) and g(x) are represented on the graph where g(x) is a tranfomation of f(x) I need help with part A part B and Part C
Answer:
see below
Step-by-step explanation:
Part A
We can shift f(x) to the left or we can shift f(x) up to make it become g(x)
Part B
y = f(x + k) k > 0 moves it left
Using the point ( 2,8) for f(x) and ( 0,8) for g(x)
k is 2 units
g(x) = f(x+2)
y = f(x) + k k > 0 moves it up
Using the point ( 0,-2) for f(x) and ( 0,8) for g(x)
The difference between -2 and 8 is 10
k = 10
g(x) = f(x) + 10
Part C
for the shift to the left g(x) = f(x+2)
for the shift up g(x) = f(x) + 10

You have to test if the mean sugar content is less than 0.3g
H₀: μ ≥ 0.3
H₁: μ < 0.3
α: 0.05
Assuming that the variable has a normal distribution, you have to conduct a t test:
[tex]t= \frac{\frac{}{X}-Mu }{\frac{S}{\sqrt{n} } } ~~t_{n-1}[/tex]
[tex]t_{H_0}= \frac{0.295-0.30}{\frac{0.17}{\sqrt{16} } } = -0.12[/tex]
p-value: 0.4533
The p-value is greater than α, the decision is to not reject the null hypothesis.
At a 5% significance level the decision is to not reject the null hypothesis. You can conclude that the average sugar content of the cereal is equal or greater than 0.3g of sugar per gram of cereal.

John is a trail runner who decides to take a day off work to run up and down a local mountain. He runs uphill at an average speed of 5 miles per hour and returns along the same route at an average speed of 7 miles per hour. Of the following, which is the closest to his average speed, in miles per hour, for the trip up and down the mountain?
(A) 5.5
(B) 5.8
(C) 6.0
(D) 6.3
(E) 6.5
Answer:
Average speed
= 5 5/6 mph , or
= 5.83 mph (to 2 decimals)
Step-by-step explanation:
Average speed is total distance divided by the total time it takes to cover the given distance.
Since uphill = 5 mph, and downhill = 7 mph, we know the average speed is between 5 and 7 mph.
Let
x = distance uphill, and also distance downhill.
Total distance = 2x miles
Total time = x/5 + x/7 hours = 12x/35 hours
Average speed
= total distance/total time
= 2x / (12x/35) mph
= 70x / 12x
= 5 5/6 mph
= 5.83 mph (to 2 decimals)
elogram ABCD, diagonals AC and BD intersect at point E. AE=2x, BE=y+10, CE=x+2 and DE=4y−8. Find the length of BD. A. 6 B. 16 C. 18 D. 32
Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
The diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other, thus
DE = BE , substitute values
4y - 8 = y + 10 ( subtract y from both sides )
3y - 8 = 10 ( add 8 to both sides )
3y = 18 ( divide both sides by 3 )
y = 6

the length of each side of the ABCD EFGH cube is 6cm. If point P is located in the middle of line EH, point Q is in the middle of line EF, and point R is in the middle of line AE, determine the distance of point E to the PQR plane
Answer:
The distance is: [tex]\sqrt3\ cm\approx1,73\,cm[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The distance of point E to the PQR plane it is the hight (vertical) of piramid PRQE
If point P is located in the middle of line EH, point Q is in the middle of line EF, and point R is in the middle of line AE than:
EP = EQ = ER = 0.5EF = 3 cm and m∠REQ = m∠QEP = m∠REP = 90° so triangles RQE, QPE and PRE are congruent.
RQ = QP = PR so triangle PQR is equilateral and from Pythagorean theorem (for ΔRQE):
[tex]RQ^2=ER^2+EQ^2=3^2+3^2=2\cdot3^2\ \ \implies\ \ RQ=3\sqrt2[/tex]
Then: [tex]RN=\dfrac{RQ\,\sqrt3}2[/tex]
and: [tex]RK=\dfrac23RN=\dfrac{RQ\,\sqrt3}3=\dfrac{3\sqrt2\cdot\,\sqrt3}3=\sqrt6[/tex]
Therefore from Pythagorean theorem (for ΔERK):
[tex]EK^2+RK^2=ER^2\\\\EK^2=ER^2-RK^2\\\\EK^2=3^2-(\sqrt6)^2\\\\EK^2=9-6=3\\\\EK=\sqrt3\ cm\approx1,73\,cm[/tex]
