Tom can paint the fence in 12 hours, but if he works together with a friend they can finish the job in 8 hours. how long would it take for his friend to paint this fence alone?

In may you used 400 kilowatt-hours of energy for electricity. a. calculate the total electrical energy use in joules. b. calculate your average power use in watts. c. assume that your power supplier generates electricity by burning oil. note that 1 liter of oil releases 12 million joules of energy. how much oil is needed to generate the electricity you use? give your answer in both liters and gallons. a. the total electrical energy use was nothing _ joules. (type an integer or a decimal.) b. the average power use is nothing _ watts. (round to the nearest whole number as needed.) c. to generate the electricity you used, nothing _ l is needed. (round to the nearest whole number as needed.) to generate the electricity you used, nothing _ gal is needed. (round to two decimal places as needed.)

The change in water level of a lake is modeled by a polynomial function, w(x). described how to find the x-intercepts of w(x) and how to construct a rough graph of w(x) so that the parks department can predict when there will be no chage in the water level. you may create a sample polynomial of degree 3 or higher to use in your explanations.
