Answer:
15
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of hours it takes the larger hose to fill the pool. Then each hour, it contributes 1/x of the pool volume. Similarly, the other hose contributes a volume of 1/(1.5x) each hour.
The two hoses together contribute a volume of 1/9 of the pool volume each hour:
1/x +1/(1.5x) = 1/9
2.5/(1.5x) = 1/9 . . . . combine the fractions
22.5/1.5 = x . . . . . . multiply by 9x
15 = x
It takes the larger hose 15 hours to fill the pool alone.
Answer:
18 in^2
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>1 )The three sides of the gutter add up to 12</em>
2x+ y = 12
<em>2) Subtract 2x from both sides. </em>
y = 12 — 2x
<em>3 )Find the area of the rectangle in terms of x and simplify.</em>
Area = xy = x(12 — 2x) = -2x^2+12x = f(x)
<em>4 ) x=-b/2a</em>
<em>x co-ordinate of the vertex= -12/2(-2)=3</em>
<em>5 )Plug in 3 for x into they equation.</em>
y co-ordinate of the vertex= 12 — 2(3) = 6
<em>6 ) Plug in 3 for x and 6 for y. </em>
Area= xy = 3(6) = 18
RESULT
18 in^2
