Two hoses A and B together fill a swimming pool in two hours. A does it by herself in three hours less than B. Calculate how many hours it takes each to fill the pool.

Answers

Answer 1

If hose A takes x hours to fill the pool, hose B will take x+3 hours to fill the pool. So, each hour, A will fill [tex]\bf{\dfrac{1}{x}}[/tex] parts of the pool and B will fill [tex]\bf{\dfrac{1}{x+3}}[/tex] parts. Since using both hoses fills the pool completely, you have to:

                                                          [tex]\large\displaystyle\text{$\begin{gathered}\sf \bf{ 1= \frac{1}{x}+\frac{1}{x}+\frac{1}{x+3}+\frac{1}{x+3} } \end{gathered}$}\\\large\displaystyle\text{$\begin{gathered}\sf \bf{ \ \ \ =\frac{2}{x}+\frac{2}{x+3} } \end{gathered}$}\\\large\displaystyle\text{$\begin{gathered}\sf \bf{ \ \ \ =\frac{2x+2x+6}{x(x+3)} } \end{gathered}$}[/tex]

[tex]\large\displaystyle\text{$\begin{gathered}\sf \bf{ x^2+3x=4x+6\ \Longrightarrow\ \ 0=x^2-x-6=(x-3)(x+2) } \end{gathered}$}[/tex]

Hose A takes 3 hours to fill the pool and Hose B takes 6 hours.

y=4(3)^x complete a table showing y values for values of x from 0 to 5

Answers

To solve this problem, we just have to substitute the values into the exponential equations and solve.

Exponential Equation

In the given exponential equation, we simply need to plug in the values of x from 0 to 5

[tex]y = 4(3)^x[/tex]

when x = 0

[tex]y = 4(3)^x\\y = 4(3)^0\\y = 4[/tex]

when x = 1

[tex]y = 4(3)^x\\y = 4(3)^1\\y = 12\\[/tex]

when x = 2

[tex]y = 4(3)^2\\y = 36[/tex]

when x = 3

[tex]y = 4(3)^3\\y = 108[/tex]

when x = 4

[tex]y = 4(3)^4\\y = 324[/tex]

when x = 5

[tex]y = 4(3)^5\\y = 972[/tex]

From the calculations above, the value of y when x is from 0 to 5 are

B: 2 1/2 feet by 5 feet
C: 2 1/4 feet by 4 1/4 feet
D: 2 1/2 feet by 4 1/2 feet

Answers

Since the paper representing her desk is 1 1/4 inches by 2 1/4 inches, the actual dimensions of her desk are D: 2 ¹/₂ ft by 4 ¹/₂ ft

To answer the question, we need to know what scale is

What is a scale?

A scale is the ratio of two dimension and it is given on a scale drawing.

Given that Chelsea makes a scale drawing of the room and cuts out pieces of paper to represent her furniture, and the paper representing her desk is 1 1/4 inches by 2 1/4 inches.

Since on the scale, we have 1/2 in = 1 foot ⇒ 1 in = 2 ft

Actual dimensions of desk

So, the actual dimensions of her desk are

1 ¹/₄ in by 2 ¹/₄ in = 5/4 in by 9/4 in

= 5/4 × 1 in by 9/4 × 1 in

= 5/4 × 2 ft by 9/4 × 2 ft

= 5/2 ft by 9/2 ft

= 2 ¹/₂ ft by 4 ¹/₂ ft

So, the actual dimensions of her desk are D: 2 ¹/₂ ft by 4 ¹/₂ ft

Write an equation of the parabola in vertex form that passes through ( 3 , -2 ) and has a vertex of ( 5,8 )

Answers

Answer:

Parabola in vertex form: y = a(x - h)2 + k

Vertex: (h, k) = (3, 2) and (x, y) = (13, 8)

y = a(x - h)2 + k

y = a(x - 3)2 + 2 <== with substitution (h, k) = (3, 2)

8 = a(13 - 3)2 + 2 <== with substitution (x, y) = (13, 8)

8 = a(10)2 + 2

100a = 8 - 2 ==> 100a = 6 ==> a = 6/100 ==> a = 3/50

Parabola in vertex form: y = a(x - h)2 + k

y = (3/50)(x - 3)2 + 2  (Final Answer - Parabola in vertex form)

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

Hi,

Step-by-step explanation:

Parabola has the equation:

y=k*(x-5)²+8

if x=3, y=-2: -2=k*(-2)²+8 ==> 4k=-10==> k=-5/2

Given Polynomial:

f(x)=2x²-3x

To Find:

f(-2)

Solution:

f(x)=2x²-3x

Substitute x = -2 onto the given polynomial,as we need to find f(-2),so x = -2.

f(6) = 2(-2)² -3(-2)

Simplify using PEMDAS,then.

f(6) = -8 - 6f(6) = -14

g(7)= -4(7) - 1

g(7) = -28 - 1g(7) = -29

(3+13-10)+14÷2+4 how do you solve this ?

Answers

Answer: 17

Step-by-step explanation:

Don't forget about PEMDAS. (parentheses, exponents, multiplication, division, addition, subtraction)

Start with parentheses

(3+13-10)... 13+3= 16, 16-10=6 ...

so (3+13-10)=6

Now we have...

6 + 14 / 2 + 4

No exponents so we go on.

no multiplication so we go on

Now division...

14 / 2 = 7 because 7 x 2 = 14

Now we have...

6 + 7 + 4

now we do addition, addition is commutative so you can add it in any order you want

6 + 7 = 13, 13 + 4 = 17

therefore, the answer is 17

Answers

Answer:

x=-2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation:

8^x= 1/64

Ensure both sides of the equation are in power format by changing 1/64

1/64 = 64^-1

8^x = 64^-1

2^3(x) = 2^6(-1)

The bases will cancel out each other

3(x) = 6(-1)

3x = -6

x = -6/3

x = -2

Check

8^x = 1/64

x = -2

8^-2

= 1/8²

= 1/8*8

A circle is a two-dimensional geometry on the plane having a center point and the circular line is drawn equidistant from the center point.

Based on James' definition of a circle, he needed to specify that the points are in a plane (option c).
