Answer:

A (361)

Step-by-step explanation:

A "perfect square trinomial" has the form

ax^2 + 2ab + b^2. If a happens to be 1, which it is in the given x^2 − 19x + c, then 2(1)(b) = - 19. Solving for b, we get b = -19/2.

Then b^2 in the general "perfect square trinomial" is the same as c: (-19/2)^2, or 90.25, or 90 1/4, or 361/4/

Choosing A (361) makes the given expression a perfect square trinomial.

Tim and Jim are working on a school project together. If he had to work by himself, it would take

Vladimir [108]

Answer: 6 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Given, Tim and Jim are working on a school project together.

Tim takes 10 hours to complete the school project.

If Jim worked alone, it would take him 15 hours

Let t be the time they both take if they work together.

Then, $\dfrac{1}{t}=\dfrac{1}{\text{Time taken by Tim}}+\dfrac{1}{\text{Time taken by jim}}$

$\Rightarrow\ \dfrac{1}{t}=\dfrac{1}{10}+\dfrac{1}{15}\\\\\Rightarrow\ \dfrac{1}{t}=\dfrac{3+2}{30}=\dfrac{5}{30}\\\\\Rightarrow\dfrac{1}{t}=\dfrac{1}{6}\\\\\Rightarrow t=6$

So, it will take 6 hours to complete the school project together .

Roger and rita each drive at a constant speed between phoenix and san diego. Each driver’s distance for the same section of the

never [62]

Answer:

a)Rita had a 28-mile head start

Step-by-step explanation:

The multiple options have been added in the additional information below the problem statement.

Missing Information:

Since the distance of each driver is not displayed. Let us assume their distances.

Say,

Roger travelled distance = 60 miles

Rita travelled distance = 32 miles

Now as it is given in the problem statement that Roger and Rita both drove at a constant speed between Phoenix and San Diego and they drove "Same Section of the trip" .

Which Means that the distance travelled of both is between Phoenix and San Diego, just their starting points are different but their end point is the same which is San Diego.

As we can see RIta had to cover less miles which means she got the head start, now to calculate how much of a head start she got, we need:

Head Start Rita got = Distance Roger travelled - Distance Rita Travelled

Head Start Rita got = 60 - 32 = 28 miles

So,

Rita got a Head start of 28 miles which is option (a)

A quantity with an initial value of 8600 grows exponentially at a rate of 20% every 2 minutes. What is the value of the quantity

Hatshy [7]

Answer:

23400 x 8/100 = 1872 = the loss

1872 : 12 = 156= the loss each month

156/1872*100% = 8.33 % then round it
