The side lengths of the pool 10 ft and 45 ft.

<u>SOLUTION: </u>

Given, a rectangle swimming pool is 8 feet deep.  

One side of the pool is 4.5 times longer than the other.  

Let the length of pool be n feet, the width will be 4.5n feet

The amount of water needed for the swimming pool is 3600 cubic ft

We have to find the dimensions of the pool. Now, we know that,  

\begin{array}{l}{\text {volume of pool}=\text {depth} \times \text {length } \times \text {width}} \\\\ {\rightarrow 3600 \text { cubic } f t=8 \text { feet } \times \text { n feet } \times(4.5 n) \text { feet }} \\\\ {\rightarrow 8 n \times 4.5 n=3600} \\\\ {\rightarrow 36 n^{2}=3600} \\\\ {\rightarrow n^{2}=100}\end{array}

On taking square root on both sides we get,

\begin{array}{l}{\rightarrow\sqrt{n^{2}}=\sqrt{100}} \\\\ {\rightarrow n=10 \mathrm{ft}}\end{array}

So, the width will be 4.5 n=4.5 \times 10=45 \mathrm{ft}

What is the simplified form of the equation 4/5n - 1/5 = 2/5n ?
Gnoma [55]

we are given

\frac{4}{5}n -\frac{1}{5} =\frac{2}{5}n

Firstly , we will multiply both sides by 5

5*\frac{4}{5}n -5*\frac{1}{5} =5*\frac{2}{5}n

now, we can simplify it

4n-1 =2n

2n =1

now, we can solve for n

n =\frac{1}{2}.............Answer

Is this an example of a horizontal asymptote?
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there,

The graph indicated is showing a horizontal asymptote. In fact, it is showing both a horizontal and a <em>vertical </em>asymptote.

To tell which type it is, notice where the graph "shoots off" and almost forms an imaginary straight line in one direction. Using this logic, the horizontal asymptote will be exactly horizontal, parallel to x-axis, and vertical asymptote will be exactly vertical, parallel to y-axis.

With this graph, we notice the horizontal asymptote is at y=0, where the x-axis is. The vertical asymptote is bit more difficult to determine graphically, but can definitely say it is past x=-10. We could determine it if we had the function, but that is not necessary for this question.

Study well, and persevere. If you liked this solution, leave a Thanks or give a rating!

thanks,
