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.

Given: f(x) = x - 7 and h(x) = 2x + 3 Write the rule for f(h(x)).
azamat
F(h(x)) means wherever you see x in the f(x) function you're gonna plug in the h(x) function:
f(h(x)) = (2x + 3) - 7
= 2x + 3 - 7
= 2x - 4

A car tire is spinning a complete revolution every 0.60 seconds. The valve stem is 2 inches above ground at its lowest point and
finlep [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

What is the amplitude, ||, of the height and co-height functions for this car tire

|| = 6

Let () represent the co-height function after rotation by radians, and let () represent the height function after rotation by radians. Write functions for the co-height and for the height in terms of .

() = ()

() = ()  

The co-height graphs are the same but translated 2 inches upward

so our function is:

() = ()  + 2 or

() = ()  + 2
