A rain barrel is full of water and used to water the garden. The rain barrel loses water at the rate 2.5 gallons of water per mi

nute. After seven minutes, the rain barrel contains 37.5 gallons.
Write an equation in point-slope form to model the number of gallons (y) of water in the rain barrel after (x) minutes. Show or Explain your work.

Answer: <span>y - 37.5 = 2.5 ( x - 7)

Explanation:

1) The point-slope form is has this form:

 y - y1 = m (x - x1)

Where m is the slope or rate of change and x1, y1 are the coordinates of the point.

2) you are told that the the rate of change of water (m) is 2.5

m = 2.5

3) The point is given by that after 7 min the rain barrel contains 37.5 gallons. This is:

x1 = 7
y1 = 37.5

</span>4) Replace those value in the point-slope model:

y - 37.5 = 2.5 ( x - 7)

That is the point-slope model or equation.

Answer:

4.71 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Incomplete question [See comment for complete question]

Given

Shape: Cone

r = 3 -- radius

h = 7 --- height

Rate = 14in^3/min

Required

Time to pass out all liquid

First, calculate the volume of the cone.

This is calculated as:

V = \frac{1}{3} \pi r^2h

This gives:

V = \frac{1}{3} * 3.14 * 3^2 * 7

V = \frac{1}{3} * 197.82

V = 65.94in^3

To calculate the time, we make use of the following rate formula.

Rate = \frac{Volume}{Time}

Make Time the subject

Time= \frac{Volume}{Rate }

This gives:

Time= \frac{65.94in^3}{14in^3/min}

Time= \frac{65.94in^3}{14in^3}min

Cancel out the units

Time= \frac{65.94}{14} min

Time= 4.71 min\\

Helen plays basketball. For free throws, she makes the shot 78% of the time. Helen must now attempt two free throws. C = the eve
riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

0.6708 or 67.08%

Step-by-step explanation:

Helen can only make both free throws if she makes the first. The probability that she makes the first free throw is P(C) = 0.78, now given that she has already made the first one, the probability that she makes the second is P(D|C) = 0.86. Therefore, the probability of Helen making both free throws is:

P(C+D) =  P(C) *P(D|C) = 0.78*0.86\\P(C+D) = 0.6708

There is a 0.6708 probability that Helen makes both free throws.
