An aquifer holds 146,000 cubic feet of water. Water exits through a well at a steady rate of 500 cubic feet per day, and the aqu

ifer is replenished at a constant rate of x cubic feet per day. If the water in the aquifer is used up in a year (365 days), what is the value of x? Ignore evaporation and other losses.

Answer:

The value of x = 100  ft^3/ day

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to look at what amount of water comes in and what amount of water leaves

What comes in:  x ft^3/ day

What leaves : 500x ft^3/ day

We start with 146 000 ft^3

Water in tank = what we start with + what comes in - what leaves

water in tank = 146000 + x*d - 500*d  where d is the number of days

After 365 days , the tank has 0 ft^3 of water

0  = 146000 + x*365 - 500*365

Multiply

0 = 146000 + 365x - 182500

Combine like terms

0 = -36500+365x

Add 36500 to each side

36500 = 36500-36500+365x

36500 = 365x

Divide by 365

36500/365 = 365x/365

100=x

The value of x = 100

First, find the amount of water in cubic feet that the well removes in one year:

500 ft3 per day × 365 days per year = 182,500 ft3 per year.

More water exits the aquifer in a year than it can hold at any given time. So, we know that some water enters the aquifer to make up the difference.

182,500 ft3 lost to well – 146,000 ft3 stored in aquifer = 36,500 ft3 added per year.

One year is the same as 365 days, so

Therefore, x = 100 cubic feet of water per day.

What is the slope of all lines perpendicular to the line y=(2/3)x+7
Alexandra [31]

Answer:

The slope is -3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>A line that is perpendicular to another has the slope that has the sign reversed and is the reciprocal. </u>

Example:  Find the line perpendicular to y = 3x

First, you flip the sign which makes 3 into -3

Next, you make the reciprocal which makes -3 into <u>-1/3 </u>

Problem:  Find the line perpendicular to y = (2/3)x + 7

First, you flip the sign which makes 2/3 into -2/3

Next, you make the reciprocal which makes -2/3 into <u>-3/2</u>

Answer:  The slope is -3/2

A researcher determines that students are active about 60 + 12 (M + SD) minutes per day. Assuming these data are normally distri
rjkz [21]

Answer:

The correct option is (b).

Step-by-step explanation:

If X \sim N (µ, σ²), then Z=\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}, is a standard normal variate with mean, E (Z) = 0 and Var (Z) = 1. That is, Z \sim N (0, 1).

The distribution of these z-variate is known as the standard normal distribution.

The mean and standard deviation of the active minutes of students is:

<em>μ</em> = 60 minutes

<em>σ </em> = 12 minutes

Compute the <em>z</em>-score for the student being active 48 minutes as follows:

Z=\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}=\frac{48-60}{12}=\frac{-12}{12}=-1.0

Thus, the <em>z</em>-score for the student being active 48 minutes is -1.0.

The correct option is (b).

More help is appreciated:))
Lera25 [3.4K]

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to translate all the points to the right 3 and up 6

Therefore, you are going to use this formula:

(x,y) ⇾ (x + 3, y + 6)

This is the same format as the previous problem, if you have noticed.

Using this, plug in each coordinate, starting with  P (5, -1)

(5, -1) ⇾ ( 5 + 3, -1 + 6)

(5, -1) ⇾ ( 8, 5 )

P^{1} = (8, 5)

Now point Q, (0, 8)

(0, 8) ⇾ (0 + 3, 8 + 6)

(0, 8) ⇾ ( 3, 14 )

Q^{1} = (3, 14)

And last but not least, the point R, (7, 5)

(7, 5) ⇾ (7 + 3, 5 + 6)

(7, 5) ⇾ ( 10, 11 )

R^{1} = (10, 11)

Therefore, P^{1} = (8, 5), Q^{1} = (3, 14), R^{1} = (10, 11) is your answer. This is the 4th option or D.

Hope this for you to understand this a bit more! =D
