What do you mean this sentence?
the time a pump takes to drain the pool varies inversely with the power in watts of the pump,
The meaning would be : if we have a power in watts greater the time to drag the pool will be less because the relation between power and time is inverse.  

40 watts--------------5 hours) 
100 watts------------  x

because the relation between power and time is inverse, we multiply directly.
40 watts(5 hours)=100 watts x
x=(200 watts hours) / 100 watts=2 hours.

Answer: the time would be 2 hours.   (the new pump is faster)

Question 6 of 10 Multiple Choice: Please select the best answer and click "submit." What is the greatest number of acute angles
gavmur [86]
2. it can't have three because one of them is a right triangle do D doesn't add up. It can't have 0 because an obtuse angle plus a right angle would go over 180 degrees. So, the most it can have is 2 acute for example 90(right angle) 30(acute) and 60 (acute) is a possible answer. Also, a right angle can only have two acute angles since an obtuse angle would put it over 180 which was already stated

fiasKO [112]

Answer:

25

Step-by-step explanation:

b=4x+1    h=x+1     A=175

A=bh

Substitute: 175=(4x+1)(x+1)

Expand: 175=4x^2+5x+1

Subtract 175

4x^2+5x-174=0

Solve w/quadratic formula

(-5 <u>+</u> sqrt(25+2784))/8

Simplify: x=6 or -29/4

Distance is positive, so x=6

4x+1=4*6+1=25
