The contractor in charge of organizing your pool complex project has informed you that he has found two landscape companies willing to do the work. The 1st company says they can get the entire job done in 72 hours. The 2nd company says they can get the job done in 24 hours. You've decided that it would be best if both companies worked together to get the job done quicker! How many hours would it take to complete the landscaping job if the two companies worked together?

18 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Time taken to complete the job by 1st company =

Time taken to complete the job by 2nd company =

The job completed in 1 hour by 1st company =

The job completed in 1 hour by 2nd company =

The amount of job completed in 1 hour if they both work together

So, if both companies work together it will take 18 hours to finish the job.

the range of a function is the range of y-values for which it is defined, or exists. given that we are only looking at the y-values, we can already discount the first two answers as they deal with the domain of the function (range of x-values).

now, what we need to do is find the smallest and highest y-values for which the function is defined. if you'd like, you could take a ruler and start at the very bottom of the graph, find the lowest point, then move the ruler higher and higher until you reach the highest point. doing so either in your head or with an actual ruler, we can see that the lowest y-value is -5 and the highest y-value is -1.

the question now remains as to whether they are included in the range (fourth answer) or excluded (third answer). the key here is to recognise whether they are marked with an open or a closed circle. since both (-2, -5) and (2, -1) are marked with a closed circle, they are points that exist on the graph and are thus included in the range (note that if they were marked with an open circle like (4, -2) then that would signify that there is a break in the graph at that point).

thus, the fourth answer, (y | -5 ≤ y ≤ -1), is correct.

also note that usually it is good practice to scan your eye inbetween the highest and lowest point for any breaks in the graph - we do have one here at (4, -2), however -2 is still included in the range because there is another point that is included in the graph with the same y-value, ie. point (1, -2).

i hope that but if you require any further explanation don't hesitate to comment below.
