I would say we use letters in mathematics so you can understand the problem more or whats really happening for example if they ask you question about how many people went to the party and bought stuff without the letters and only numbers you'll be confused...like umm...how many people went what are the stuff they bought.Or another example is if the question only had an empty graph.People would be like what do I have to do with the empty graph.What's the problem etc.So math problems without letters would be confusing.

An oil tank has to be drained for maintenance. The tank is shaped like a cylinder that is 4 ft long with a diameter of 2.2 ft. S
gavmur [86]

Answer:

8\:\mathrm{minutes}

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a cylinder is given as:

r^2\cdot\pi\cdot h

Since the diameter is 2.2, the radius is \frac{2.2}{2}=1.1.

Therefore, the volume of this cylinder is:

1.1^2\cdot 3.14\cdot 4=15.1976\:\mathrm{ft^3}, using \pi=3.14 as requested in the problem.

Since the tank is emptied at a constant rate of 1.5\:\mathrm{ft^3\:per\:minute}, it will take

\frac{15.1976}{1.5}=7.5988=\fbox{$8\:\mathrm{minutes}$} to empty the tank.

Y-2=4(x+3) what the slope intercept
Kryger [21]

Answer:

Slope intercept form: y = 4x + 14

Slope: 4

Y-intercept: 14

Step-by-step explanation:

y - 2 = 4(x + 3)

Use distributive property

y - 2 = 4x + 12

y - 2 + 2 = 4x + 12 + 2

y - 0 = 4x + 14

y = 4x + 14
