It takes Greg and Nikki a total of 40 minutes to paint a room if they work together. If Greg works alone, he takes 18 minutes longer to paint he room than Nikki takes if she works alone. When x represents the number of minutes it takes Nikki to paint the room working alone, the situation is represented by this equation: Which value is a solution of the rational equation that must be discarded because of the context

Answers

Answer 1

Using the together rate, it is found that the value that must be discarded is given by x = -9.

What is the together rate?

It is the sum of each separate rate.

In this problem, the rates are given as follows:

Together: [tex]\frac{1}{40}[/tex].Nikki's: [tex]\frac{1}{x}[/tex].Greg's: [tex]\frac{1}{x + 18}[/tex].

Hence:

[tex]\frac{1}{x} + \frac{1}{x + 18} = \frac{1}{40}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{x + 18 + x}{x(x + 18)} = \frac{1}{40}[/tex]

[tex]x^2 + 18x = 80x + 720[/tex]

[tex]x^2 - 72x - 720 = 0[/tex]

Then, we have a quadratic function, with coefficients a = 1, b = -72, c = -720, so:

[tex]\Delta = (-72)^2 - 4(1)(-720) = 8064[/tex]

[tex]x_1 = \frac{72 + \sqrt{8064}}{2} = 80.9[/tex]

[tex]x_2 = \frac{72 - \sqrt{8064}}{2} = -9[/tex]

They cannot have a negative rate, hence the value that must be discarded is given by x = -9.

1 kilobyte = 1/1000 megabyte

Answer: no

Answer:

NO!!!! Kilobyte isn't BIGGER than Megabyte

Step-by-step explanation:

Here's the table:

1 Kilobyte = 1,024 Bytes

1 Megabyte = 1,024 Kilobytes

John spins a fair spinner with 5 equal sections numbered 1 through 5. His spin lands on the number 2. What is the probability that John's next three spins land on the number 2

Answers

Using it's concept, it is found that the probability that John's next three spins land on the number 2 is of [tex]\frac{1}{125}[/tex].

What is a probability?

A probability is given by the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

In this problem, we have that out of 5 numbers, one is 2, hence the probability of three consecutive spins landing on two is given by:

You have a biased coin, where the probability of flipping a heads is 70%. You flip once, and the coin comes up tails. What is the expected number of flips from that point (so counting that as flip #0) until the number of heads flipped in total equals the number of tails?

Answers

The expected number of flips from that point until the number of heads flipped in total equals the number of tails is 2

How to determine the number of flips?

The given parameters are:

P(Head) = 70%

The expected number of flipping a head is:

E(x) = 70% * x

The expected number of flipping a tail is:

E(x) = (1 - 70%) * x + 1

Where 1 represents the first flip

When both values are equal, we have:

70% * x = (1 - 70%) * x + 1

Evaluate

0.7x = 0.3x + 1

Evaluate the like terms

0.4x = 1

Divide both sides by 0.4

x = 2.5

Remove the decimal

x = 2

Hence, the expected number of flips from that point until the number of heads flipped in total equals the number of tails is 2

Where

A = Area

a  = Short Base

b = Long Base

h = Height

So what is the solution for the above trapezoid?

f(6x+4) = (6x+4)² - 2(6x+4)

Which values of x and y would make the following expression represent a real number? (4 5i)(x yi) x = 4, y = 5 x = –4, y = 0 x = 4, y = –5 x = 0, y = 5

Answers

The product will be a real number when x = 4 and y = -5.

Which values of x and y should we use?

We have the product of complex numbers:

[tex](4 + 5i)*(x + yi)[/tex]

We want this to be a real number, then the second complex number must be the complex conjugate of the first one, so we must have:

[tex](x + yi) = (4 - 5i)[/tex]

Now, if we take the product, we get:

[tex](4 + 5i)*(4 - 5i)\\\\4*4 - 4*5i + 4*5i - (5*5)*i^2 = 16 + 25 = 41[/tex]

So we can see that the outcome is a real number.

Then we must have x = 4 and y = -5.
