Write and solve a Rational Equation that shows you are correct. Please show your work.

Answers

Answer 1

paul and mary

peter and mary

peter and paul

Answer 2

Answer:

Peter and Neil

Step-by-step explanation:

Given rates of work:

Peter = 5 hours / room

Paul = 6 hours / room

Neil = 7.5 hours / room

Mary = 3.75 hours / room

Recall the formula for combined rate for two individuals A & B is given as

Combined rate = (A's rate x B's rate) / (A's rate + B's rate)

In our case , the combined rate is given to be 3 hours, so we must find a combination of rate A and rate B that will give us 3 hours.

If you try all the combinations in the above formula, we will find that if we substitute Peter's and Neil's rates into the formula, we will get exactly 3 hours.

Combined rate for Peter and Neil

= (Peter's rate x Neil's rate) / (Peter's rate + Neil's rate)

= (5 x 7.5) / (5+7.5) = 3 hours to complete 1 room

No other combination gives exactly 3 hours.

Answer:

∠2 and ∠3 are complementary

Step-by-step explanation:

Complementary angles add up to 90°. Angles 1 and 3 are complementary, so the formula is ∠1 + ∠3 = 90°. Given that Angle 1 equals to angle 2, we substitute angle 2 for angle one in the equation stated before. Now we have ∠2 + ∠3 = 90°, so angles 2 and 3 are complementary

If f(x)=2x^+1 and g(x)=x^-7, find (f-g)(x)

Answers

Answer:

(f-g)(x)  = 2x - x^(-7)

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that

f(x) = 2x^+1 = 2x

g(x)=x^-7 = x^(-7)

Then, we just need to subtract both functions

(f-g)(x) = f(x) - g(x) =  2x - x^(-7)

(f-g)(x)  = 2x - x^(-7)

PLEASE HELP! 8 POINTS!! Find the value

Answers

Answer:

-sqrt(3)/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Use double angle identity for sin(2x)

sin(2x)=2sin(x)cos(x)

We are given sin(x)=-1/2 so we already have so far that:

sin(2x)=2(-1/2)cos(x)

sin(2x)=-1*cos(x)

We just need to find cos(x).  

x is in the fourth quadrant so cosine will be positive there

knowing the unit circle we should know that if sin(x)=-1/2 then cos(x)=sqrt(3)/2 while in 4th quadrant.

So the answer is sin(2x)=-1*sqrt(3)/2=-sqrt(3)/2

Which polygons are similar?
1,2,3,4

Answers

Answer:

1 and 4

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If two triangles are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is proportional and its corresponding angles are congruent

In this problem

The corresponding angles of Triangle 1 and Triangle 4 are congruent

therefore

Both triangles are similar

Answer:

similar polygons are 1 and 4

Step-by-step explanation:

From the figure we can see some triangles and angles are given

Similar triangles means that the angles are same and their corresponding  sides are in proportion.

To find the correct answer

From the figure we get 1 and 2 are similar triangle, because angles of triangle 1 are 10°, 60° and 110°,

and angles of triangle 4 are 10°, 60° and 110°,

Therefore the correct answer is 1 and 4

b^m/b^n=b^m-n

Therefore, when the numerator and denominator are the same number, the powers can be subtracted to simplify the answer.

Step 2: Apply the property to the question

7^13/7^7 = 7^13-7

=7^6

Hence, option A is the correct answer.

!!

Answer:

The equivalent expression is [tex]7^{6}[/tex] ⇒ answer A

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets revise some rules of the exponents

- In the exponential functions we have some rules

# In multiplication if we have same base then add the power

  b^m  ×  b^n  =  b^(m + n)  

- Ex: [tex]5^{11}*5^{4}=5^{11+4}=5^{15}[/tex]

# In division if we have same base we subtract the power

  b^m  ÷  b^n =  b^(m – n)

- Ex: [tex]\frac{3^{10}}{3^{4}}=3^{10-4}=3^{6}[/tex]

* Now lets solve the problem

- There is the expression [tex]\frac{7^{13}}{7^{7}}[/tex]

- We have base 7 up and down

∵ In division if we have same base we subtract the power

∵ The base up is 7 and the base down is 7

- We will subtract the powers

∴ [tex]\frac{7^{13}}{7^{7}}=7^{13-7}=7^{6}[/tex]

∴ The answer is [tex]7^{6}[/tex]

* The equivalent expression is [tex]7^{6}[/tex]

Answers

Final answer:

The given relation is not a function because there are multiple output values for one input value.

Explanation:

The given relation, xy1−21−3213−2, is not a function. In order for a relation to be a function, each input value (x) must have only one corresponding output value (y).

Let's examine the relation:

x = 1, y = 2

x = 2, y = -3

x = 3, y = 2

As you can see, for x = 1, there are two different corresponding values of y (2 and -3). Therefore, the given relation is not a function.

Find the scale factor of the larger figure to the bigger figure.5-8 solve for x. The polygons in each pair are similar.

Answers

Answer:

See below in BOLD.

Step-by-step explanation:

What you need to do is identify the corresponding sides in the polygon than divide the larger length by the smaller.

3.  The side length 8 corresponds to the 4 in the other polygon.

So the scale factor  is 8/4 = 2.

4. Scale Factor = 24/20 = 1.2.

5. 40/32  = 5x / 24

5x = 40*24 / 32

5x = 30

x = 6.

6. 25/30 = 4x + 7 / 42

5/6 = 4x + 7 / 42

6(4x + 7) = 210

24x = 210 - 42 = 168

x = 168/24

x = 7.

7. 40/24 = 3x + 5 / 21

5/3 = (3x + 5) / 21

9x + 15 = 105

9x = 90

x = 10.

8.   24 / 40 = (x + 3) / 15

3/5 = (x + 3) / 15

5x + 15 = 45

5x = 30

x = 6.

Which circles are congruent?

Answers

Answer:

Circles A  and D are congruent because they both have a radius of 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

Circle A and circle D are congruent ⇒ 3rd answer

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets talk about the circle

- Any circle has diameter

- Any circle has radius which is half the diameter in length

- All the circles are similar because the measure of all circles is 360°

 and there is the ratio between the radii

- The two circles are congruent if they have the same radii because

  the congruence is special case of similarity when the ratio equal 1

* Lets look to the figure to solve the problem

- There are four circles in the figure

# Circle A with radius 3"

# Circle B with radius 4"

# Circle C with radius 5"

# Circle D with radius 3"

∵ The radius of circle A = 3"

∵ The radius of circle D = 3"

∴ The radii of circle A and circle D are congruent

∴ Circle A and circle D are congruent

A 16oz bottle of a new soda cost $3.49. What is the unit rate, rounded to the nearest tenth of a cent?

Answers

Final answer:

To find the unit rate of a 16oz soda bottle that costs $3.49, divide the price by the ounces, resulting in $0.218125 per ounce, which rounds to $0.22 per ounce.

Explanation:

The question is about calculating the unit rate of a 16oz bottle of soda that costs $3.49. To find the unit rate, we divide the total cost by the number of ounces. Thus, the unit rate is $3.49 ÷ 16 oz, which equals approximately $0.218125 per ounce. Rounding to the nearest tenth of a cent, the unit rate is $0.22 per ounce.

B
25 in.​

Answers

Answer:

The length of side BC is 20.5 in

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

In the right triangle ABC

The function cosine of angle of 35 degrees is equal to divide the adjacent side to angle of 35 degrees by the hypotenuse of the right triangle

so

cos(35°)=a/25

Solve for a

Multiply by 25 both sides

a=(25)*cos(35°)=20.5 in

therefore

The length of side BC is 20.5 in

Hello!

The answer is:

The length of BC is equal to 20.5 inches.

Why?

Since we are working with a right triangle and we already know some of its dimensions, we can calculate the length of PC using the following equation:

[tex]Cos\alpha =\frac{a}{Hypotenuse}[/tex]

Where,

a is equal to BC

hypotenuse is equal to 25 inches.

alpha is equal to 35°

So, we will have the following equation and we can isolate "a" from it, so substituting we have:

[tex]Cos(35\°)=\frac{a}{25in}[/tex]

[tex]a=25in*Cos(35\°)=20.47inches[/tex]

Hence, the length of BC is equal to 20.5 inches (rounded to the nearest tenth)
