Answer:

5 teachers

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the 15 members finished 1/3 of the job in 4 hours. When the teachers came they finished 2/3 of the job in 6 hours. So they finished 1/3 of the join in 3 hours of we simplify it.

4 hour: 15 minutes

3 hour: ?

15/3 x 4= 20 teaches. Then we do 20-15=5 because there were originally 15 members.

A new car is purchased for 22400 dollars. The value of the car depreciates at 11% per year. To the nearest tenth of a year , how
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

t= 12.9 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Value after t years = initial value ( 1 - r )^t

Where,

Value after t years= $5000

Initial value = $22,400

r= depreciation rate = 11%

t= length of time (years)

Value after t years = initial value ( 1 - r )^t

5000 = 22,400 ( 1 - 0.11)^t

5000 = 22,400(0.89)^t

Divide both sides by 22,400

(0.89)^t = 5000 / 22,400

(0.89)^t = 0.2232

Take the log of both sides

t log 0.89 = log 0.2232

t= log 0.2232 / log 0.89

= -0.6513 / -0.0506

= 12.87

t= 12.9 years

Tom went on a bike to the store 3 miles away. If it took Tom 1/2 of an hour to get there and 2/3 of an hour to get back , what w
anastassius [24]

Answer:

5.14 mi/h

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the average speed, we simply find the total distance traveled by Tom and divide that by the total time the entire journey took him.

Average speed = (total distance traveled) / (total time taken)

TOTAL DISTANCE TRAVELED

He traveled 3 miles to and 3 miles fro. Hence:

3 + 3 = 6 miles

TOTAL TIME TAKEN

He spent ½ hr to go and ⅔ hr to return back. Hence:

½ + ⅔ = 7/6 hr

Therefore, the average speed is:

v = 6 / (7/6)

v = 36 / 7 = 5.14 mi/h

Tom's average speed was 5.14 mi/h.

Sum of positive roots of the equation (x2 - 12x + 35) (x2 + 10x + 24) = 504 is
Digiron [165]

Answer:

(3)11

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

(x^2-12x+35)(x^2+10x+24)=504

We have to find the sum of positive roots of the equation.

x^2(x^2+10x+24)-12x(x^2+10x+24)+35(x^2+10x+24)=504

x^4+10x^3+24x^2-12x^3-120x^2-288x+35x^2+350x+840=504

x^4-2x^3-61x^2+62x+840-504=0

x^4-2x^3-61x^2+62x+336=0

Factor of 336

2,3,4,6,8,7,

Let x=2

2^4-2^4-61(2^2)+62(2)+336\neq0

x=2 is not the root of equation

x=-2

(-2)^4-2(-2)^3-61(-2)^2+62(-2)+336=0

Hence x=-2 is the root of equation.

x+2 is a factor of equation.

x=3

3^4-2(3^3)-61(3^2)+62(3)+336=0

Therefore, x=3  is the root of equation.

(x+2)(x-3)(x^2-x-56)=0

(x+2)(x-3)(x^2-8x+7x-56)=0

(x+2)(x-3)(x(x-8)+7(x-8))=0

(x+2)(x-3)(x-8)(x+7)=0

x-8=0\implies x=8

x+7=0\implies x=-7

Positive roots are 3 and 8

Sum of positive roots=3+8=11

Option (3) is true.

Mari has a part time job. She earns $7 an hour. She makes at most $143.50 a week. What is the greatest number of hours that she
eduard
<span>If Mary earns 7$ an hour, we need to multiplicate 7$ by the number of hours worked for the entire week so we can get the salary per week. And when we want to know how many hours she had worked, we have to "transform" the equation : Salary per week = salary per hours x worked hours Here, we know to informations : salary per hours and salary per week. Worked hours = salary per week / salary per day Worked hours = 143.50 / 7 Worked hours = 20.5 The greatest number of hours thats he works is 20h30.</span>
