Answer:

<em>6 days</em>

<em></em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the time taken by Carpenter working alone = C days

Then time taken by apprentice alone = Twice as that of taken by Carpenter = 2C days

Time taken working together = 2 days

Work done in one day working together = \frac{1}{2}

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

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

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

\dfrac{1}{C}+\dfrac{1}{2C}=\dfrac{1}{2}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{2+1}{2C}=\dfrac{1}{2}\\\Rightarrow C = 3\ days

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

Time taken by Apprentice alone to complete the work = 3 \times 2= <em>6 days</em>

Which statements describe a residual plot for a line of best fit that is a good model for a scatterplot? Check all that apply. T
lidiya [134]

Answer:

The points are randomly scattered with no clear pattern

The number of points is equal to those in the scatterplot.

Step-by-step explanation:

The points in the residual plot of the line of best fit that is a good model for a scatterplot are randomly scattered with no clear pattern (like a line or a curve).

The number of points in the residual plot is always equal to those in the scatterplot.

It doesn't matter if there are about the same number of points above the x-axis as below it, in the residual plot.

The y-coordinates of the points are not the same as the points in the scatterplot.

A taut string of length 10 inches is plucked at the center. The vibration travels along the string at a constant rate of c inche
Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

The correct option is

A.  \ \dfrac{1}{c} \times \left | x - 5 \right | = 0.3

Step-by-step explanation:

The parameters given are;

The length of the string = 10 inches

The speed or rate of travel of the wave = c inches per millisecond

The position on the string from the left-most end = x

The time duration of motion of the vibration to reach x= 0.3 milliseconds

The distance covered = Speed × Time = c×0.3

Given that the string is plucked at the middle, with the vibration travelling in both directions, the point after 0.3 millisecond is x where we have;

The location on the string where it is plucked = center of the string = 10/2 = 5 inches

Distance from point of the string being plucked (the center of the string) to the left-most end = 5 inches

Therefore, on the left side of the center of the string we have;

The distance from the location of the vibration x (measured from the left most end) to the center of the string = 5 - x = -(x -5)

On the right side of the center, the distance from x is -(5 - x) = x - 5

Therefore, the the equation that can be used to find the location of the vibration after 0.3 milliseconds is \dfrac{1}{c} \times \left | x - 5 \right | = 0.3 or \left | x - 5 \right | = 0.3 \times c which gives the correct option as A

If the sin 90º = 1, then which statement is true?
Natali [406]

in a right-triangle, like in the 1st Quadrant, cosine and sine are complements, so then

sin(x) = cos(90° - x)

cos(x) = sin(90° - x)

for this case, sin(<u>90°</u>)  = cos(90° - <u>90°</u>), or just cos(0°) = 1.
