Parallel Processing uses two or more computers, working together, to solving a problem. You connect two different computers; com

puter A is faster than computer B due to being a more modern machine. When both computers are working together it takes 20 minutes for them to work put a single problem. Individually it would take computer B 9 more minutes than computer A to solve the same problem on its own. Solve for how many minutes it would take computer A to solve a single problem on it own

Answer:

together rate = 1/20 min/job

one comp. rate = 1/(x-9) min/job

2nd comp. rate = 1/x min/job

-------------------------------

Equation:

rate + rate = together rate

1/x + 1/(x-9) = 1/20

---

20(x-9) + 20x = x(x-9)

40x-9*20 = x^2-9x

---

x^2-49x + 180 = 0

Factor:

(x-45)(x-4) = 0

Realistic solution since 4-9 is negative:

x = 45 minutes

then

x-9 = 36 minutes (faster computer time to do the job)

larisa [96]

Answer:

D. 0.002

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

total number of sample, N = 500 elements

50 elements are to be drawn from this sample.

The probability of the first selection, out of the 50 elements to be drawn will be = 1 / total number of sample

The probability of the first selection = 1 / 500

The probability of the first selection = 0.002

Therefore, on the first selection, the probability of an element being selected is 0.002

The correct option is "D. 0.002"

Simplify the expression 3x(x – 12x) + 3x2 – 2(x – 2)2. Which statements are true about the process and simplified product? Check
olasank [31]
We have the expression:
3x(x-12x) + 3x^2 - 2(x-2)^2

First, we will expand the power 2 bracket as follows:
3x(x-12x) + 3x^2 - 2(x^2 - 4x +4)

Then, we will get rid of the brackets as follows:
3x^2 - 36x^2 + 3x^2 - 2x^2 + 8x - 8

Now, we will gather the like terms and add them as follows:
-32 x^2 + 8x - 8

We can take the 8 as a common factor:
8 ( -4x^2 + x -1)
