Given the amount of water needed to fill the cement dam and the water pump rate, the time needed to fill the dam is 400 minutes or 6hours 40minutes.

Option B)6h 40min is the correct answer.

<h3>How long does it take to fill the dam?</h3>

Given that;

Amount of water needed to fill the dam A = 30000 litres
Pump rate r = 75 litres per minute
Time needed to fill the dam T = ?

To determine how long it take to fill the dam, we say;

Time need = Amount of water needed ÷ Pump rate

T = A ÷ r

T = 30000 litres ÷ 75 litres/minute

T = 400 minutes

Note that; 60min = 1hrs

Hence,

T = 6hours 40minutes

Given the amount of water needed to fill the cement dam and the water pump rate, the time needed to fill the dam is 400 minutes or 6hours 40minutes.

Option B)6h 40min is the correct answer.

I need answer for this quick please

Anna007 [38]

Answer:

- 6

Step-by-step explanation:

The average rate of change of f(x) in the closed interval [ a, b ] is

$\frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}$

Here [ a, b ] = [ - 1, 4 ] , then

f(b) = f(4) = 4³ - 6(4)² - 4 = 64 - 96 - 4 = - 36

f(a) = f(- 1) = (- 1)³ - 6(- 1)² - (- 1) = - 1 - 6 + 1 = - 6 , then

average rate of change = $\frac{-36-(-6)}{4-(-1)}$ = $\frac{-36+6}{4+1}$ = $\frac{-30}{5}$ = - 6

Find an equation of the tangent to the curve x =5+lnt, y=t2+5 at the point (5,6) by both eliminating the parameter and without e

svet-max [94.6K]

ANSWER

$y = 2x -4$

EXPLANATION

Part a)

Eliminating the parameter:

The parametric equation is

$x = 5 + ln(t)$

$y = {t}^{2} + 5$

From the first equation we make t the subject to get;

$x - 5 = ln(t)$

$t = {e}^{x - 5}$

We put it into the second equation.

$y = { ({e}^{x - 5}) }^{2} + 5$

$y = { ({e}^{2(x - 5)}) } + 5$

We differentiate to get;

$\frac{dy}{dx} = 2 {e}^{2(x - 5)}$

At x=5,

$\frac{dy}{dx} = 2 {e}^{2(5 - 5)}$

$\frac{dy}{dx} = 2 {e}^{0} = 2$

The slope of the tangent is 2.

The equation of the tangent through

(5,6) is given by

$y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$

$y - 6 = 2(x - 5)$

$y = 2x - 10 + 6$

$y = 2x -4$

Without eliminating the parameter,

$\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{ \frac{dy}{dt} }{ \frac{dx}{dt} }$

$\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{ 2t}{ \frac{1}{t} }$

$\frac{dy}{dx} = 2 {t}^{2}$

At x=5,

$5 = 5 + ln(t)$

$ln(t) = 0$

$t = {e}^{0} = 1$

This implies that,

$\frac{dy}{dx} = 2 {(1)}^{2} = 2$

The slope of the tangent is 2.

The equation of the tangent through

(5,6) is given by

$y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$

$y - 6 = 2(x - 5) =$

$y = 2x -4$
