Answer:

$7\frac{9}{13}\text{ hours}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The number of reports proofread by David in one hour = 15,

While, the number of reports proofread by Armando in one hour = 37,

Total reports proofread by both of them in one hour = 15 + 37 = 52,

Also, the number of reports have to be proofread = 400

Hence, the time taken by both of them when they work together

$=\frac{\text{Total reports}}{\text{Number of reports by both of them in one hour}}$

$=\frac{400}{52}$

$=7\frac{9}{13}\text{ hours}$

Sarah kicked a ball in the air. The function

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer: The ball hits the ground at 5 s

Step-by-step explanation:

The question seems incomplete and there is not enough data. However, we can work with the following function to understand this problem:

$f=30 t- 6t^{2}$ (1)

Where $f$ models the height of the ball in meters and $t$ the time.

Now, let's find the time $t$ when the ball Sara kicked hits the ground (this is when $f=0 m$ ):

$0=30 t- 6t^{2}$ (2)

Rearranging the equation:

$6t^{2}-30 t=0$ (3)

Dividing both sides of the equation by $6$ :

$t^{2}-5 t=0$ (4)

This quadratic equation can be written in the form $at^{2}+bt+c=0$ , and can be solved with the following formula:

$t=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}$ (5)

Where:

$a=1$

$b=-5$

$c=0$

Substituting the known values:

$t=\frac{-(-5) \pm \sqrt{(-5)^{2}-4(1)(0)}}{2(1)}$ (6)

Solving we have the following result:

$t=5 s$ This means the ball hit the ground 5 seconds after it was kicked by Sara.

Rameen’s heating bill is $5.42 per month plus $1.08 per therm. How many therms can Rameen use if he wants his heating bill to be

hammer [34]

Write and solve an inequality:

Total(t) = $5.42 + ($1.08/therm)(t) ≤ $87.50.

First, subtract $5.42 from $87.50: then ($1.08/therm)(t) ≤ $82.08

Next, divide both sides by $1.08 per therm:

t ≤ ($82.08) / ($1.08/therm) = 76 therms (maximum). Thus, Rameen's usage could be [0,76] (therms).

What is the slope intercept form of (3,3) (7,-1)

kow [346]

Slope intercept form follows this general equation...
$y=mx+b$
With this information you have posted, all you can do is find slope, your m. To calculate for slope, you need to use this following equation...
$m= \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$
Then, you pick one of your coordinate pairs to be 1 and the other to be 2. I will choose the first coordinate pair as 1, so...
$m=\frac{-1-3}{7-3} =-1$
You plug in -1 into your slope formula...
$y=-1x+b$
Now, to find your y-intercept, or b, you must plug in one of your coordinate pairs. In that equation, you may plug in the values (3,3), so you'll have...
$3=-1(3)+b$
Just solve for b and you will be done

Cindy found a collection of baseball cards in her attic worth $8,000. the collection is estimated to increase in value by 1.5% p

Sergio [31]

A]
Exponential function is given by the form:
y=a(b)ˣ
where:
a=initial value
b=growth factor
From the question:
a=$8000, b=1.015,
thus the exponential growth function of this situation is:
y=8000(1.015)ˣ

b] The value of the collection after 7 years will be:
x=7 years
Using the formula:
y=8000(1.015)ˣ
plugging the values we get:
y=8000(1.015)⁷
y=8,878.76

Answer: $8,878.76
