Seth and Ted can paint a room in 5 hours if they work together. If Ted were to work by himself, it would take him 2 hours longer than it would take Seth working by himself. How long would it take Seth to paint the room by himself if Ted calls in sick?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

9 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x = number of hours it would take Seth to work by himself

He would paint 1/x in 1 hour

x + 2 = number of hours it would take Ted to work by himself

He would paint 1/(x + 2) in 1 hour

Seth and Ted = 5 hours

They would paint 1/5 in 1 hour

The equation is this:

1/x + 1/(x + 2) = 1/5

(x + 2)+x/x(x+2) = 1/5

x+2+x / x(x+2) = 1/5

2x + 2 / x(x+2) = 1/5

2x + 2 = x(x + 2)1/5

2x + 2 = (x² + 2x)1/5

5(2x + 2) = x² + 2x

10x + 10 = x² + 2x

x² + 2x - 10x - 10 = 0

x² - 8x - 10 = 0

x = -b ± √b² - 4ac/2a

= -(-8) ± √(-8)² - 4(1)(-10) / 2(1)

= 8 ± √64 - (-40) / 2

= 8 ± √64 + 40) / 2

= 8 ± √104 / 2

= 8 ± 2√26 / 2

= 8/2 ± 2√26/2

= 4 ± √26

= 4 ± 5.0990195135927

= 4 + 5.0990195135927 or 4 - 5.0990195135927

= 9.0990195135927 or -1.Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x = number of hours it would take Seth to work by himself

He would paint 1/x in 1 hour

x + 2 = number of hours it would take Ted to work by himself

He would paint 1/(x + 2) in 1 hour

Seth and Ted = 5 hours

They would paint 1/5 in 1 hour

The equation is this:

1/x + 1/(x + 2) = 1/5

(x + 2)+x / x(x+2) = 1/5

x+2+x / x(x+2) = 1/5

2x + 2 / x(x+2) = 1/5

Cross product

2x + 2 = x(x + 2)1/5

2x + 2 = (x² + 2x)1/5

Cross product

5(2x + 2) = x² + 2x

10x + 10 = x² + 2x

x² + 2x - 10x - 10 = 0

x² - 8x - 10 = 0

x = -b ± √b² - 4ac/2a

= -(-8) ± √(-8)² - 4(1)(-10) / 2(1)

= 8 ± √64 - (-40) / 2

= 8 ± √64 + 40) / 2

= 8 ± √104 / 2

= 8 ± 2√26 / 2

= 8/2 ± 2√26/2

= 4 ± √26

= 4 ± 5.0990195135927

= 4 + 5.0990195135927 or 4 - 5.0990195135927

= 9.0990195135927 or -1.0990195135927

Approximately,

x = 9 hours or -1 hour

It can't take Seth negative hours to work

Therefore,

x = number of hours it would take Seth to work by himself = 9 hours

SCALCET8 3.10.025. Use a linear approximation (or differentials) to estimate the given number. (Round your answer to five decimal places.) 3 126

Answers

Answer:

[tex]f(126) \approx 5.01333[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]\sqrt[3]{126}[/tex]

Required

Solve using differentials

In differentiation:

[tex]f(x+\triangle x) \approx f(x) + \triangle x \cdot f'(x)[/tex]

Express 126 as 125 + 1;

i.e.

[tex]x = 125; \triangle x = 1[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]f(125+1) \approx f(125) + 1 \cdot f'(125)[/tex]

[tex]f(126) \approx f(125) + 1 \cdot f'(125)[/tex]

To calculate f(125), we have:

[tex]f(x) = \sqrt[3]{x}[/tex]

[tex]f(125) = \sqrt[3]{125}[/tex]

[tex]f(125) = 5[/tex]

So:

[tex]f(126) \approx f(125) + 1 \cdot f'(125)[/tex]

[tex]f(126) \approx 5 + 1 \cdot f'(125)[/tex]

[tex]f(126) \approx 5 + f'(125)[/tex]

Also:

[tex]f(x) = \sqrt[3]{x}[/tex]

Rewrite as:

[tex]f(x) = x^\frac{1}{3}[/tex]

Differentiate

[tex]f'(x) = \frac{1}{3}x^{\frac{1}{3} - 1}\\[/tex]

Using law of indices, we have:

[tex]f'(x) = \frac{x^\frac{1}{3}}{3x}[/tex]

So:

[tex]f'(125) = \frac{125^\frac{1}{3}}{3*125}[/tex]

[tex]f'(125) = \frac{5}{375}[/tex]

[tex]f'(125) = \frac{1}{75}[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]f(126) \approx 5 + f'(125)[/tex]

[tex]f(126) \approx 5 + \frac{1}{75}[/tex]

[tex]f(126) \approx 5 + 0.01333[/tex]

[tex]f(126) \approx 5.01333[/tex]

What are the values of x for which the denominator is equal to zero for y=(x+3)/(x^2+4x)

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  -4, 0

Step-by-step explanation:

The denominator is x^2+4x. This is zero when ...

  x^2 +4x = 0

  x(x +4) = 0

The zero product rule tells you the product is zero when the factors are zero.

  x = 0

  x +4 = 0   ⇒   x = -4

The denominator is zero for x=0 and x=-4.

The probability that a certain hockey team will win any given game is 0.3669 based on their 13 year win history of 379 wins out of 1033 games played (as of a certain date). Their schedule for November contains 12 games. Let X = number of games won in November.

Required:
What is the expected number of wins for the month of November?

Answers

Answer:

4.4028

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability of game (p) = 0.3669

Number of wins in November (n) = 12

Expected number of wins = p*n

Expected number of wins = 0.3669 * 12

Expected number of wins = 4.4028

So, the expected number of wins for the month of November is 4.4028.

Part B is not clear and the clear one is;

P(X ≥ 6)

Answer:

A) 0.238

B) 0.478

C) 0.114

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, we will make use of binomial probability formula;

P(X = x) = nCx × p^(x)•(1 - p) ^(n - x)

A) 54% of U.S. adults have very little confidence in newspapers. Thus;

p = 0.54

10 random adults are selected. Thus;

P(X = 5) = 10C5 × 0.54^(5) × (1 - 0.54)^(10 - 5)

P(X = 5) = 0.238

B) P(X ≥ 6) = P(6) + P(7) + P(8) + P(9) + P(10)

From online binomial probability calculator, we have;

P(X ≥ 6) = 0.2331 + 0.1564 + 0.0688 + 0.01796 + 0.0021 = 0.47836 ≈ 0.478

C) P(x<4) = P(3) + P(2) + P(1) + P(0)

Again with online binomial probability calculations, we have;

P(x<4) = 0.1141 ≈ 0.114

would someone mind looking over my answers to geometry!!

Answers

Answer:

Question 1: x = 6

Question 2: Correct!

Question 3: x = 11

Question 4: Correct!

Step-by-step explanation:

Question 1:

Angle 22x - 2 DOESN'T equal 50 degrees. Only Alternate Interior Angles will equal each other. These two angles are Same Side Interior Angles, meaning if you added them together, they would equal 180 degrees.

Knowing that adding 22x - 2 and 50 will equals 180 degrees, here's how we solve for x:

First, subtract 50 from 180 to find what angle 22x - 2 will equal:

180 - 50 = 130

130 = 22x - 2

Now use basic algebra to solve for x:

130 = 22x - 2

(add 2 to both sides)

132 = 22x

(divide both sides by 22)

x = 6

Question 3:

Angle 5x + 15 DOESN'T equal 9x + 11. They make up a line, which is 180 degrees, so they are supplementary angles.

With that in mind, to solve for x, add the two equations and set it equal to 180:

5x + 15 + (9x + 11) = 180

Now use basic algebra to solve for x:

5x + 15 + 9x + 11 = 180

(add like terms)

14x + 26 = 180

(subtract 26 from both sides)

14x = 154

(divide 14 from both sides)

x = 11

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\mu =2.16[/tex] --- Mean

[tex]\sigma^2 = 1.4944[/tex] -- Variance

[tex]\sigma = 1.222[/tex] --- Standard deviation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]\begin{array}{cccccc}x & {0} & {1} & {2} & {3} & {4} \ \\ P(x) & {0.12} & {0.2} & {0.2} & {0.36} & {0.12} \ \end{array}[/tex]

Solving (a): The population mean

This is calculated as:

[tex]\mu = \sum x * P(x)[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]\mu =0*0.12 + 1 * 0.2 + 2 * 0.2 + 3 * 0.36 + 4 * 0.12[/tex]

[tex]\mu =2.16[/tex]

Solving (b): The population variance

First, calculate:

[tex]E(x^2)[/tex] using:

[tex]E(x^2) = \sum x^2 * P(x)[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]E(x^2) = 0^2*0.12 + 1^2 * 0.2 + 2^2 * 0.2 + 3^2 * 0.36 + 4^2 * 0.12[/tex]

[tex]E(x^2) =6.160[/tex]

So, the population variance is:

[tex]\sigma^2 = E(x^2) - \mu^2[/tex]

[tex]\sigma^2 = 6.16 - 2.160^2[/tex]

[tex]\sigma^2 = 6.160 - 4.6656[/tex]

[tex]\sigma^2 = 1.4944[/tex]

Solving (c): The population standard deviation

This is calculated as:

[tex]\sigma = \sqrt{\sigma^2}[/tex]

[tex]\sigma = \sqrt{1.4944}[/tex]

[tex]\sigma = 1.222[/tex]
