A clerical worker takes 2 times as long to finish a job as it does an executive secretary. Working​ together, it takes them 6 hr to finish the job. How long would it take the clerical​ worker, working​ alone, to finish the​ job?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

18 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem is on Combined work rate

Step one:

given data

let the secretary take x hours to finish one job

so the clerical worker will take 2x hours to finish one job.

Both of them working together will take 6 hours

Step two:

The combined work formula is

T/A+T/B=1

Where T= time working together

A= time the Clerical worker spent alone

B= time the secretary spent alone

substituting we have

6/2x+6/x=1

solve for x

6+12/2x=1

18/2x=1

9/x=1

cross multiply

x=9 hours

the clerical worker take 2x hours

2*9= 18 hours

(3,- 7)?

Answers

Answer:

Hope this helps!

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

point (3,-7)

m = 5

Solution

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - (-7) = 5(x - 3)

y + 7 = 5x - 15

y = 5x - 15-7

y = 5x-22

Answer

The equation in point-slope form that passes through the point (3,-7)and has a slope of 5 is line Y=5x-22

Kelko will rent a car for the weekend. She can choose one of two plans. The first plan has an initial fee of $57 and cost an additional $0.08 per mile driven. The second plan has an initial fee of $50 and costs and additional $0.10 per mile driven.

Answers

Questions (contd)

(a) For what amount of driving do the two plans cost the same?

(b) What is the cost when the two plans cost the same?

Answer:

(a) 100 miles

(b) $65

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Plan 1:

[tex]Initial\ Fee = \$57[/tex]

[tex]Additional = \$0.08[/tex] per mile

Plan 2:

[tex]Initial\ Fee = \$50[/tex]

[tex]Additional = \$0.10[/tex] per mile

Solving (a): Number of miles when both plans are equal

Represent the distance with x and the cost with y

So:

Plan 1:

[tex]y = 57 + 0.08 * x[/tex]

Plan 2:

[tex]y = 50 + 0.10 * x[/tex]

To solve (a), we equate both plans together; i.e.

[tex]y = y[/tex]

[tex]57 + 0.08x = 50 + 0.10x[/tex]

Collect Like Terms

[tex]0.08x - 0.10x= 50 - 57[/tex]

[tex]-0.02x= -2[/tex]

Solve for x

[tex]x = -2/-0.02[/tex]

[tex]x = 100[/tex]

Hence, 100 mile would cost both plans the same

Solving (b): Cost when both plans are the same:

In this case, we simply substitute 100 for x in any of the y equation.

[tex]y = 57 + 0.08 * x[/tex]

[tex]y = 57 + 0.08 * 100[/tex]

[tex]y = 57 + 8[/tex]

[tex]y = 65[/tex]

Hence, the amount is $65

If this function is differentials at x=1/2, what is a+b?

Answers

Answer: D) 28

===============================================

Work Shown:

Let

g(x) = ax^3 + 2

h(x) = bx^2 + 1

Plug x = 1/2 into each function

g(x) = ax^3 + 2

g(1/2) = a(1/2)^3 + 2

g(1/2) = (1/8)a + 2

and

h(x) = bx^2 + 1

h(1/2) = b(1/2)^2 + 1

h(1/2) = (1/4)b + 1

In order for f(x) to be differentiable at x = 1/2, the function f(x) must be continuous at x = 1/2. If we had a jump discontinuity here, then there is no way the function is differentiable here.

f(x) is continuous at x = 1/2 when g(1/2) = h(1/2).

This means,

g(1/2) = h(1/2)

(1/8)a + 2 = (1/4)b + 1

8*[(1/8)a + 2] = 8*[(1/4)b + 1]

a+16 = 2b+8

a = 2b+8-16

a = 2b-8

We'll keep this in mind for later.

--------------------------------------------------

Now let's compute the derivatives

g(x) = ax^3 + 2

g ' (x) = 3ax^2

h(x) = bx^2 + 1

h ' (x) = 2bx

Now plug in x = 1/2

g ' (x) = 3ax^2

g ' (1/2) = 3a(1/2)^2

g ' (1/2) = (3/4)a

and

h ' (x) = 2bx

h ' (1/2) = 2b(1/2)

h ' (1/2) = b

Equate the two items. We do so because we want f(x) to be differentiable at x = 1/2, so that means g ' (1/2) = h ' (1/2)

So,

g ' (1/2) = h ' (1/2)

(3/4)a = b

3a = 4b

a = (4b)/3

--------------------------------------------------

Earlier we found a = 2b-8.

Since both a = 2b-8 and a = (4b)/3, this means we can equate the right hand sides to solve for b

2b-8 = (4b)/3

3*(2b-8) = 3*(4b)/3

6b-24 = 4b

6b-4b = 24

2b = 24

b = 24/2

b = 12

Which leads to

a = 4b/3

a = 4*12/3

a = 48/3

a = 16

--------------------------------------------------

The piecewise function

[tex]f(x) = \begin{cases}ax^3+2, \ \ x < \frac{1}{2}\\bx^2+1, \ \ x \ge \frac{1}{2}\end{cases}[/tex]

will update to

[tex]f(x) = \begin{cases}16x^3+2, \ \ x < \frac{1}{2}\\12x^2+1, \ \ x \ge \frac{1}{2}\end{cases}[/tex]

To verify f(x) is differentiable at x = 1/2, you should check to see if both pieces evaluate to the same output when you plug in x = 1/2. In other words, you should check to see if g(1/2) = h(1/2).

Also, you should check to see if g ' (1/2) = h ' (1/2) so that f(x) is fully differentiable here. I'll let you do the check portions.

--------------------------------------------------

After getting our a and b values, we can finally say that

a+b = 16+12 = 28

What is the vertex of the graph?

Answers

Answer:

The point (x, y) → (-5, 0) is the vertex of the graph.

Step-by-step explanation:

As the given graph represents Parabola

As we know that Parabolas always contain the lowest point, or the highest point if any given parabola is upside-down. This lowest or highest point is the location where the parabola tends to change its direction and called the 'vertex'.

Hence, from the given graph, we can easily determine that the parabola changes its direction at x = -5, and y = 0.

Therefore, the point (x, y) → (-5, 0) is the vertex of the graph.

PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Write the equation of the line perpendicular to y=3/4x+9/4 that passes through the point (-5, 2)

Answers

Answer:

y = -4/3x - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Find the slope. Since we know that a line perpendicular to another is it's opposite reciprocal, or the product of the two is equal to -1, we can find the slope. -4/3 times 3/4 is -1, so -4/3 would be the slope of this line.

2. Plug in the point and slope into the slope-point equation. The equation would be y - 2 = -4/3 * (x + 6).

3. Simplify. The simplified equation would be y = -4/3x - 6.

3-for-1 split. After the split, the price of one share was $39.24. What was the pre-split price per share?

Answers

Answer:   $117.72

======================================================

Explanation:

Let's say that the company is valued at $300 just as a simple example.

Also, let's say there are 100 shares each worth $3, so we have 100*3 = 300 as the total value of the company.

A 3-for-1 split means that for each share, it will get turned into 3 shares. So you turn in 1 share and in return you get 3 shares back. Or put another way, each share is ripped/cut into 3 equal pieces.

After doing this split, we would have 3*100 = 300 shares and each share would be now worth (1/3)*3 = 1 dollar. Note the new number of shares multiplied with the new value per share is still the same total valuation of $300. Doing a stock split, or a reverse stock split, will not change the value of the company. This is a good thing or else companies would simply do (reverse) splits all the time to increase their value however large they wanted without actually contributing anything to society.

------------------------

So quite simply, when we do a 3-for-1 split, we multiply the old price per share by 1/3 to get the new price per share.

Let

x = old price per share

y = new price per share

So x happens before the split and y is after the split.

For a 3-to-1 split, we can form this equation

y = (1/3)x

which solves to

x = 3y

when we multiply both sides by 3

We know that y = 39.24, which means,

x = 3y

x = 3*39.24

x = 117.72

The pre-split price per share was $117.72

------------------------

So in short, all we did was multiply the given number (39.24) by 3.
