Midpoint is : (x1 + x2) / 2 , (y1 + y2) / 2
(-1,3)....x1 = -1 and y1 = 3
(7,-1)...x2 = 7 and y2 = -1
now we sub and solve
m = (-1 + 7)/2 , (3 - 1) / 2
m = (6/2, 2/2)
m = (3,1) <===

Pump 1 can empty a pool in 8 hours while Pump 2 can empty the same pool in 9 hours. If the two pumps worked together, how long w

yan [13]

Rate of pump A: 1/8 of a pool per hour
Rate of pump B: 1/9 of a pool per hour
Combined rate: 1/8+1/9 = 17/72 +1/9 = 25/72

So if they work together, the two pumps have a combined rate of 25/72 of a pool per hour (i.e in one hour, the two pumps will empty 25/72 of the pool)

But we want to empty ONE pool (not 25/72 of one). So we need to multiply 25/72 by some number x to get 1.

Now solve for x
x=2.88
It will take the two pumps 2.88 hours to empty the pool.
2 hours 52 minutes 50 seconds

Find the value of tan(sin^-1(1/2))

suter [353]

If you know that $\sin\dfrac\pi3=\dfrac12$ , then you know right away

$\tan\left(\sin^{-1}\dfrac12\right)=\tan\dfrac\pi3=\dfrac1{\sqrt}3=\dfrac{\sqrt3}3$

###

Otherwise, you can derive the same result. Let $\theta=\sin^{-1}\dfrac12$ , so that $\sin\theta=\dfrac12$ . $\sin^{-1}$ is bounded, so we know $-\dfrac\pi2\le\theta\le\dfrac\pi2$ . For these values of $\theta$ , we always have $\cos\theta\ge0$ .
