Leah can build a brick wall in 7 hours, while her apprentice can do the job in 10 hours. How long does it take for them to build a wall together

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

70/17 hours or 4 2/17 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation we use is 1/7 + 1/10 = 1/x, x being the time it took them together to build. x works out to 70/17 hours

Answer 2

Leah and her apprentice can build the wall together in 4 2/17 hours

What is an Equation?

Equations are mathematical statements with two algebraic expressions flanking the equals (=) sign on either side.

It demonstrates the equality of the relationship between the expressions printed on the left and right sides.

Coefficients, variables, operators, constants, terms, expressions, and the equal to sign are some of the components of an equation. The "=" sign and terms on both sides must always be present when writing an equation.

Given data ,

Hours required by Leah to build a wall = 7 hours

So , Leah builds ( 1/7 )th of the wall per hour

Hours required by apprentice to build a wall = 10 hours

So , Apprentice builds ( 1/10 )th of the wall per hour

When they are both building the wall together , they build
( 1/7 )th + ( 1/10 )th of the wall together per hour = 1 / x

Therefore , the equation will be

1/x = 1/7 + 1/10

1/x = 17 / 70

Taking reciprocal on both sides , we get

x = 70/17

x = 4 2/17 hours  

Hence , Leah and her apprentice can build a wall together in 4 2/17 hours

Find AC. FIND X USING THE PICTURE. BELOW. WILL MARK BRANLIEST FOR FIRST ONE TO ANSWER

Answers

Answer:

AC ≈ 50.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the tangent ratio in the right triangle

tan29° = [tex]\frac{opposite}{adjacent}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{BC}{AC}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{28}{x}[/tex] ( multiply both sides by x )

x × tan29° = 28 ( divide both sides by tan29° )

x = [tex]\frac{28}{tan29}[/tex] ≈ 50.5 ( to the nearest tenth )

Answer:

50.5

Step-by-step explanation:

In the right triangle, focus on angle A.  The side marked 28 is the opposite side, and the side marked  x  is the adjacent side.  The trigonometric ratio that uses those two side is the tangent ratio.

tangent = (opposite) / (adjacent)

[tex]\tan{29^\circ}=\frac{28}{x}[/tex]

Multiply both sides by  x.

[tex]x\cdot \tan{29^\circ}=28[/tex]

Divide by tan 29 degrees.

[tex]x=\frac{28}{\tan{29^\circ}}[/tex]

Use a calculator (in degree mode!) to approximate  x.

[tex]x \approx 50.5[/tex]

plz help with my math plz!!!!

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

This is an isosceles triangle because in an isosceles triangle angles opposite to each of the equal sides must also be equal. Since the diagram shows 2 equal angles we can say its isosceles.

So 3(x+2) = 24

8= x+2

x = 6

Answer:

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangle given is an isosceles triangle.

Which means, the two sides and the two angles will be the same.

One of the sides is 24.

The other is 3 ( x + 2 )

Hence, we will get this equation.

24 = 3 ( x + 2 )

24 = 3x + 6

24 - 6 = 3x

18 = 3x

6 = x

Thus, x = 6.

Why we often leave radicals as roots without calculating them?

Answers

Answer:

Sometimes it's better to leave them as roots because it's easier sometimes to solve problems with them still as roots

Answer:

We choose to leave radicals as roots without calculating them because calculating the square roots of a non perfect squares result in an irrational, non terminating decimal.

Step-by-step explanation:

Why do we do Radicals in the first place?

Radicals are used to write the square root or the nth root of a number. We sometimes leave specific numbers (non-perfect squares) as a radical because the output would be infinity

Example:

[tex]\sqrt45[/tex] is not a perfect square, it lies between [tex]\sqrt36[/tex]  and [tex]\sqrt49[/tex]

This means the number lies in between 6 and 7

The true root of 45 is irrational. Recall that irrational numbers are numbers of non-perfect squares. [tex]\sqrt45[/tex] = 6.7082039.......

Simplify:

[tex]\sqrt 45 = \sqrt 9 * \sqrt 5\\[/tex]

[tex]= \sqrt3^2 * \sqrt 5\\\\ \\= 3\sqrt5[/tex]

We choose not to pursue simplifying this because  [tex]\sqrt5[/tex]  is irrational (square root of a non-perfect square)

Summary:

We choose to leave radicals as roots without calculating them because calculating the square roots of a non perfect squares result in an irrational, non terminating decimal.

6. Suppose that a password for a computer system must have at least 6, but no more than 9 characters, where each character in the password is a lowercase English letter, or an uppercase English letter, or a digit, or one of the five special characters *, <, >,!, and #.

(a) How many different passwords are available for this computer system?

(b) How many of these passwords contain at least one occurrence of at least one of the five special characters?

(c) Using your answer to part (b), determine how long it takes a hacker to try ev ery possible password, assuming that it takes one microsecond for a hacker to check each possible password.

Answers

a. There are 26 letters in the English alphabet, with two cases for each letter; 10 numerical characters in the range 0-9; and 5 special characters; thus a total of 26•2 + 10 + 5 = 67 characters.

Any character can be used more than once, so there are

67⁶ + 67⁷ + 67⁸ + 67⁹

or 27,618,753,243,839,080 total possible passwords.

b. If we require at least 1 special character, then there are 62 choices for each ordinary character we use and 5 for each special character.

Suppose we use a password of length 6. Then there are

62⁵•5¹ + 62⁴•5² + 62³•5³ + 62²•5⁴ + 62¹•5⁵ + 62⁰•5⁶

or

[tex]\displaystyle \sum_{k=1}^6 62^{6-k}\cdot5^k[/tex]

We count the longer passwords in a similar fashion:

[tex]\displaystyle \sum_{m=6}^9 \left(\sum_{k=1}^m 62^{m-k}\cdot5^k\right)[/tex]

or 1,206,930,268,794,100 total passwords

c. 1 second (s) is equal to 10⁶ microseconds (μs). If it takes 1 μs to try 1 password, then it would take

(1,206,930,268,794,100 passwords) • (1 μs / password) • (1 s / 10⁶ μs)

= 1,206,930,268.7941 s

= (1,206,930,268.7941 s) • (1 min / 60 s)

≈ 20,115,504.4799 min

≈ (20,115,504.4799 min) • (1 h / 60 min)

≈ 335,258.408 h

≈ (335,258.408 h) • (1 day / 24 h)

≈ 13,969.1003 days

≈ (13,969.1003 days) • (1 year / 365 days)
