A and B can do a piece of work in 12 days; B and C can do it in 15 days while C and A can finish it in 20 days. In how many days will A, B and C finish it, working together? In how many days will each of them finish it working alone?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

It takes A 30 days to finish the work aloneIt takes B 20 days to finish the work aloneIt takes C 60 days to finish the work alone

Working together, it takes them 10 days to finish the work

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

[tex]\frac{1}{A} + \frac{1}{B} =\frac{1}{12} \\\\\frac{1}{B} + \frac{1}{C} = \frac{1}{15}\\\\\frac{1}{A} + \frac{1}{C} = \frac{1}{20}\\\\[/tex]

From given equations above;

[tex]\frac{1}{A} +\frac{1}{B} = \frac{1}{12}\\\\But, \frac{1}{B} =\frac{1}{15} -\frac{1}{C}\\\\ \frac{1}{A} +\frac{1}{15} -\frac{1}{C}= \frac{1}{12}\\\\Also, \frac{1}{C} = \frac{1}{20} -\frac{1}{A} \\\\ \frac{1}{A} +\frac{1}{15} -(\frac{1}{20} -\frac{1}{A})= \frac{1}{12}\\\\ \frac{1}{A} +\frac{1}{15} -\frac{1}{20} +\frac{1}{A}= \frac{1}{12}\\\\ \frac{1}{A} +\frac{1}{A} = \frac{1}{12} +\frac{1}{20}-\frac{1}{15}\\\\\frac{2}{A} = \frac{300+ 180-240}{3600} \\\\\frac{2}{A} =\frac{240}{3600}\\\\[/tex]

[tex]\frac{2}{A} = \frac{1}{15} \\\\A = 30 \ days[/tex]

solve for B;

[tex]\frac{1}{A} + \frac{1}{B} = \frac{1}{12}\\\\ \frac{1}{B} = \frac{1}{12} - \frac{1}{A} \\\\ \frac{1}{B} = \frac{1}{12} - \frac{1}{30}\\\\ \frac{1}{B} =\frac{5-2}{60} \\\\ \frac{1}{B} =\frac{3}{60}\\\\B = 20 \ days[/tex]

Solve for C;

[tex]\frac{1}{C} =\frac{1}{20} -\frac{1}{A}\\\\ \frac{1}{C} = \frac{1}{20} -\frac{1}{30}\\\\ \frac{1}{C} =\frac{3-2}{60} \\\\ \frac{1}{C} =\frac{1}{60}\\\\C = 60 \ days[/tex]

When they work together;

[tex]\frac{1}{A} +\frac{1}{B} +\frac{1}{C} =\frac{1}{y} \\\\\frac{1}{30} +\frac{1}{20} +\frac{1}{60} = \frac{1}{y}\\\\\frac{2+ 3+ 1}{60} =\frac{1}{y}\\\\\frac{6}{60} =\frac{1}{y}\\\\y = 10\ days[/tex]

Ted sells cleaning supplies. He earns a monthly salary of $850.00, plus commission. He earns 5% commission on the first $10,000 in sales, and 7% commission on any sales over $10,000. If he sold $14,000 worth of supplies this month, how much will his pay be this month?

Answers

Answer:

$1830

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

Ted's monthly salary =$850.00

since he made sales over $10,000. that is he sold supplies worth $14,000

his commission will be 7% of $14,000

=7/100*$14,000

=0.07*$14,000

=$980

Required

His total earnings

Step two:

Hence his total earnings is, his monthly salary  plus 7% commission of  supplies worth $14,000

=$850.00+$980.00

=$1830

Determine the constant of variation for the direct variation given. Type a numerical answer in the space provided.

Answers

Answer:

B. 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Determine the constant of variation for the direct variation given.

(0, 0), (3, 12), (9, 36)

A. 3

B. 4

C.12

Direct variation is given by:

y = kx

Where,

k = constant of variation

(3, 12)

x = 3; y = 12

y = kx

12 = k*3

12 = 3k

k = 12 / 3

k = 4

(9, 36)

x = 9; y = 36

y = kx

36 = k * 9

36 = 9k

k = 36 / 9

= 4

k = 4

Constant of the variation = 4

The sum of the first (n) terms of the sequence is given by the formula (given below) . If this sequence is a geometric progression, find q. If this sequence is an Arithmetic progression, find d​​

Answers

Answer:Example 1:

Find the sum of the first 8 terms of the geometric series if a1=1 and r=2.

S8=1(1−28)1−2=255

Example 2:

Find S10 of the geometric sequence 24,12,6,⋯.

First, find r.  

r=r2r1=1224=12

Now, find the sum:

S10=24(1−(12)10)1−12=306964

Example 3:

Evaluate.

∑n=1103(−2)n−1

(You are finding S10 for the series 3−6+12−24+⋯, whose common ratio is −2.)

Sn=a1(1−rn)1−rS10=3[1−(−2)10]1−(−2)=3(1−1024)3=−1023  

In order for an infinite geometric series to have a sum, the common ratio r must be between −1 and 1.  Then as n increases, rn gets closer and closer to 0.  To find the sum of an infinite geometric series having ratios with an absolute value less than one, use the formula, S=a11−r, where a1 is the first term and r is the common ratio.

Example 4:

Find the sum of the infinite geometric sequence

27,18,12,8,⋯.

First find r:  

r=a2a1=1827=23

Then find the sum:

S=a11−r

S=271−23=81

Example 5:

Find the sum of the infinite geometric sequence

8,12,18,27,⋯ if it exists.

First find r:  

r=a2a1=128=32

Since r=32 is not less than one the series has no sum.

how do you write a linear equation when given a graph or table? and how do you analyze key features of a function when given its graph?

Answers

When given a graph or table, you first want to figure out the slope. Look at the graph or table, and see how much does y change when x change in a certain amount? You want it as a rise/run so if x increases 2 when y increases 3 then the slope would be 3/2.

Next, you want to find the y intercept.
Look at the y value when x is 0. If the y is -2 when x=0, then b=-2.

When given its graph, find a y value when x is 0. If the y is 4 when x=0 then b=4

Would the phrase
“Net Change” mean I would subtract the given numbers? I’m on a post test and I’m a little confused. Please answer if you know.

Answers

Answer:

Net change means the differnce between the before result and the after result. You would subtract the numbers, but if you have a gain(the before result smaller than after result) you would do its absolute value. If it's a loss(the before result bigger than after result) you would put a negative behind its absolute value.

e.g. if 2019 had $1 net worth and 2020 had $2 net worth, since 2>1 it would be |2-1| = 1. If 2019 had $2 net worth and 2020 had $1 net worth, since 1<2 there would be a - |2-1| = -1 net change.

However, if there is no change it would be just 0.

Blank #1.  4

Blank #2.  25

Blank #3.  5

Blank #4.  32

Step-by-step explanation:

Blank #1.  If a farm lets you pick 3 pints of raspberries for $12.00, then the cost per pint would be $4.00.

Blank #2.  If one pint costs $4.00, then you would get a quarter of a dollar per pint, or 0.25 (this is because four quarters are in a dollar, one quarter=25 cents).

Blank #3.  If you continue at this rate, for $20.00, you would be able to get 5 pints of raspberries because if you pick 3 pints of raspberries for $12.00, and one pint costs $4.00 (multiply 3 and 4 to get the total cost of $12.00), and if you pick 5 pints, that cost $4.00 each, for $20.00 (multiply 4 and 5 to get $20.00). So, if you had $20.00, you would be able to pick 5 pints of raspberries for a total of $20.00.

Blank #4.  For this question, all you have to do is multiply 4 and 8 ($4.00 and 8 pints) to get a result of $32.00 as your total cost. So, if you picked 8 pints of raspberries for $4.00 per pint, then you will have a total cost of $32.00.

if x²+y²=6xy then prove that 2log(x+y)=logx+logy+3log2​

Answers

Answer:

Given that

x² + y² = 6xy

or, (x + y)² - 2xy = 6xy

or, (x + y)² = 8xy

or, (x + y)² = 2³xy

Taking (log) in both sides, we get

log (x + y)² = log (2³xy)

or, 2 log (x + y) = log (2³) + logx + logy

or, 2 log (x + y) = 3 log2 + logx + logy
