<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>

At time t ≥ 0, the velocity of a body moving along the s-axis is v = t² -5t +4. When is the body moving backwards
katovenus [111]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

The velocity of a moving body is given by the equation:

v=t^2-5t+4 ,\, t\geq0

Is the velocity is <em>positive </em>(v>0), then our object will be moving <em>forwards</em>.

And if the velocity is negative (v<0), then our object will be moving <em>backwards</em>.

We want to find between which interval(s) is the object moving backwards. Hence, the second condition. Therefore:

v

By substitution:

t^2-5t+4

Solve. To do so, we can first solve for <em>t</em> and then test values. By factoring:

(t-4)(t-1)=0

Zero Product Property:

t=1, \text{ and } t=4

Now, by testing values for t<1, 1<t<4, and t>4, we see that:

v(0)=4>0,\, v(2)=-20

So, the (only) interval for which <em>v</em> is <0 is the second interval: 1<t<4.

Hence, our answer is A.

Let f (x)=x-2 and g(x)=x to the second power -7x-9.find f (g(-1))
Degger [83]

f(g(-1)) = - 3

Evaluate g(-1) and substitute into f(x)

g(-1) = (-1)² -7(-1) - 9 = 1 + 7 - 9 = - 1

f(g(-1)) = (-1) - 2 = - 3
