An experienced carpenter can frame a house twice as fast as an apprentice. Working together, it takes the carpenters 2 days. How long would it take the apprentice working alone?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

6 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the time taken by Carpenter working alone = [tex]C[/tex] days

Then time taken by apprentice alone = Twice as that of taken by Carpenter = 2[tex]C[/tex] days

Time taken working together = 2 days

Work done in one day working together = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

Work done in one day by Carpenter working alone = [tex]\frac{1}{C}[/tex]

Work done in one day by apprentice working alone = [tex]\frac{1}{2C}[/tex]

Work done in one day by Carpenter working alone + Work done in one day by Carpenter working alone =  [tex]\frac{1}{C}[/tex]+[tex]\frac{1}{2C}[/tex] = Work done in one day working together = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{1}{C}+\dfrac{1}{2C}=\dfrac{1}{2}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{2+1}{2C}=\dfrac{1}{2}\\\Rightarrow C = 3\ days[/tex]

Time taken by Carpenter alone to complete the work = 3 days

Time taken by Apprentice alone to complete the work = 3 [tex]\times[/tex] 2= 6 days

Answer 2

We are required to calculate the number of days it would take the apprentice working alone

The number of days it takes the apprentice working alone is 6 days

let

Number of days taken for the carpenter to work alone = x

Number of days taken by the apprentice to work alone = 2x

Number of days taken to work together = 2 days

Work done per day Carpenter = 1/x

work done per day apprentice = 1/2x

work done per day together = 1/2

So,

work done per day together = Work done per day Carpenter + work done per day apprentice

1/2 = 1/x + 1/2x

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

1/2 = 3/2x

cross product

1(2x) = 2(3)

2x = 6

x = 6/2

x = 3 days

Therefore,

Number of days taken by the apprentice to work alone = 2x

= 2(3)

= 6 days

Step-by-step explanation:

For the function f(x) = −2(x + 3)2 − 1, identify the vertex, domain, and range.

Answers

Answer:

Vertex: (-3, -1)

Domain: All real numbers or (-∞, ∞)

Range: (-∞, -1]

Step-by-step explanation:

Quadratic Function: f(x) = a(bx - h)² + k

(h, k) is vertex

Step 1: Find vertex

f(x) = -2(x + 3)² - 1

h = -3

k = 1

Vertex = (-3, 1)

Step 2: Graph

When we graph, we should see our domain and range.

Domain is all x-values that can be inputted into the function.

Range is all y-values that can be outputted from the function.

9. If DF = 42, find DE.
7x+1 4x-3
DEF what is DE​

Answers

Answer:

29

Step-by-step explanation:

So DF = 42, And we know that DF = DE + EF

Therefore (7x+1) + (4x-3) = 42

11x -2 = 42

11x = 44

x = 4

Substitute x = 4 onto DE equation, so 7(4) +1

= 29.

The required measure of line segment DE is 29.

Given that,
A line segment DF is given,
E is a point on the  segment DF, where DE = 7x +1 and EF = 4x - 3
and DF = 42,
To determine the measure of DE.

What is a line?

A line is a straight curve showing the shortest distance between 2 points.

Here,
DF = DE + EF
From the given put the values of  DF = 42, DE = 7x +1 and EF = 4x - 3
42 = 7x + 1 + 4x - 3
42 = 11x - 2
11x = 44
x = 4

DE = 7x + 1
Put the value of x in above equation,
DE = 7 * 4  + 1
DE = 28 + 1
DE = 29

Thus, the required measure of the DE segment is 29.

what is the measure of X?
angles are not necessarily drawn to scale

Answers

Answer:

xº=71º

Step-by-step explanation:

Take the triangle BDH

Once the sum of interior angles of a triangle is 180º:

40º+31º+yº=180º

71º+yº=180º

yº=109º

Once yº and xº are supplementary angles (add up to 180º):

yº+xº=180º

109º+xº=180º

xº=71º

If ∠DBE is 40° and ∠BDC is 31° then the angle x will be equal to 71°.

What is triangle?

A triangle is a two dimensional figure having three sides, three angles and the sum of all the angles is equal to 180°.

How to find angle?

We have been given ∠DBE=40° and ∠BDC=31° and we have to find the angle ∠IHE which is x°.

Let the angle DHB equal to y.

In ΔBDH

∠DBH+∠BDH+Y=180 { Sum of all angles in a triangle is equal to 180}

40+31+y=180

71+y=180

y=180-71

y=109°

We know that sum of two angles on a line is equal to 180°.

So, x=180-109

x=71°

Hence the value of x is 71° if ∠BDC=31° and ∠DBE =40°.

find three consecutive integers for which 3 times the sum of the first and the third is -342

Answers

Answer:

The integers are -58, -57, -56.

Step-by-step explanation:

The difference between two consecutive integers is 1.

If you let the smallest of the three consecutive integers equal x, then the next greater one is x + 1, and the greatest of the three is x + 2.

Integers: x, x + 1, x + 2

The sum of the first and third is: x + x + 2

3 times the sum of the first and third is: 3(x + x + 2)

That product equals -342.

3(x + x + 2) = -342

3(2x + 2) = -342

Divide both sides by 3.

2x + 2 = -114

Subtract 2 from both sides.

2x = -116

Divide both sides by 2.

x = -58

x + 1 = -57

x + 2 = -56

The integers are -58, -57, -56.

In the diagram, what is the measure of WRS?
O 5°
O 7.5°
O 25°
O 37.5°

Answers

Answer : The measure of ∠WRS is 25°.

Step-by-step explanation :

As we know that vertically opposite angles are always equal.

In the given figure,

∠VRT = ∠WRS = (5x)°          (Vertically opposite angles)

And we know that the sum of all angle in a straight line is equal to 180°.

So,

∠TSR + ∠WRS = 180°

Given: ∠TSR = (25x + 30)°

∠TSR + ∠WRS = 180°

(25x + 30)° + (5x)° = 180°

30x + 30° = 180°

30x = 180° - 30°

30x = 150°

x = 5°

∠WRS = (5x)° = (5 × 5)°  = 25°  

Therefore, the measure of ∠WRS is 25°.

Answer: 25°

11. Find the value of x.

Answers

Answer:

10). 5x + (7x + 6) = 90

11). x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

From the picture attached,

Sum of given angles measures 90°

Measures of the angles are (5x)° and (7x + 6)°

Therefore, equation to determine the values of x will be,

5x + (7x + 6) = 90

By combining similar terms of the equation,

12x + 6 = 90

12x = 90 - 6

12x = 84

x = [tex]\frac{84}{12}[/tex]

x = 7

Therefore, by solving the equation value of x will be 7.

Step-by-step explanation:

10 × 3 + 4 + 5 × 2 + 1 + 3 × 100 = 345

Using PEMDAS, multiply first ... then add/subtract.

30 + 4 + 10 + 1 + 300 = 345

      34 + 10 + 1 + 300 = 345                  

              44 + 1 + 300 = 345

                   45 + 300 = 345
