<span>30 hours For this problem, going to assume that the actual flow rate for both pipes is constant for the entire duration of either filling or emptying the pool. The pipe to fill the pool I'll consider to have a value of 1/12 while the drain that empties the pool will have a value of 1/20. With those values, the equation that expresses how many hour it will take to fill the pool while the drain is open becomes: X(1/12 - 1/20) = 1 Now solve for X X(5/60 - 3/60) = 1 X(2/60) = 1 X(1/30) = 1 X/30 = 1 X = 30 To check the answer, let's see how much water would have been added over 30 hours. 30/12 = 2.5 So 2 and a half pools worth of water would have been added. Now how much would be removed? 30/20 = 1.5 And 1 and half pools worth would have been removed. So the amount left in the pool is 2.5 - 1.5 = 1 And that's exactly the amount needed.</span>

kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

81 sheep were there on the farm

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

Let x represents the number of goats.

y represents the number of cows.

z represents the number of sheep.

Therefore, the total number of animals are x+y+z

2/5 of the animals were goats. This can be written as:

\frac{2}{5}(x+y+z)=x

There were three times as many sheep than cows.

z=3y

There were 45 more goats than cows,

x=45+y

Substitute the value of x and z in equation 1.

\frac{2}{5}(45+y+y+3y)=45+y

\frac{2}{5}(45+5y)=45+y

2(9+y)=45+y

18+2y=45+y

y=27

Hence, there are 27 cows.

Substitute the value of y in x=45+y

x=45+27

x=72

Therefore, there are 72 goats.

Substitute the value of y in z=3y

z=3(27)

z=81

Thus, there are 81 sheep.

<h3>Answer:    y = x+1</h3>

===================================================

Explanation:

f(x) = x^3 - 2x + 3

f ' (x) = 3x^2 - 2 ..... apply the power rule

f ' (1) = 3(1)^2 - 2 ... plug in x coordinate of given point

f ' (1) = 1

If x = 1 is plugged into the derivative function, then we get the output 1. This means the slope of the tangent line at (1,2) is m = 1. It's just a coincidence that the x input value is the same as the slope m value.

Now apply point slope form to find the equation of the tangent line

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 2 = 1(x - 1)

y - 2 = x - 1

y = x - 1 + 2

y = x + 1   is the equation of the tangent line.

The graph is shown below. I used GeoGebra to make the graph.
