Answer: The correct option is (a) 1 hour 36 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation: Given that a pump will pump 125 gallons per minute.

We are to find the time that the pump will take to empty a 12000 gallon tank.

We have

Time taken by the pump to empty 125 gallons = 1 minute.

So, the time taken by the pump to empty 1 gallon will be

$\dfrac{1}{125}~\textup{minute}.$

Therefore, time taken by the pump to empty 12000 gallons is given by

$\dfrac{1}{125}\times12000=96~\textup{minute}.$

Now,

60 minutes = 1 hour.

So, 1 minute will be $\dfrac{1}{60}~\textup{hour}.$

Therefore, 96 minute will be equal to

$\dfrac{1}{60}\times96=1\dfrac{36}{60}=1~\textup{hour }36~\textup{minutes}.$

Thus, the pump will take 1 hour 36 minutes to empty 12000 gallon tank.

Option (a) is CORRECT.

The polynomial x^2+3x-1 is a factor of x^4+3x^3-2x^2-3x+1 true or false?

pashok25 [27]

Answer:

Yes, it is true that $x^2+3x-1$ is a factor of $x^4+3x^3-2x^2-3x+1$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us try to factorize $x^4+3x^3-2x^2-3x+1$

$x^4+3x^3-2x^2-3x+1\\\Rightarrow x^4-2x^2+1-3x+3x^3$

Let us try to make a whole square of the given terms:

$\Rightarrow (x^2)^2-2\times x^2 \times 1+1^2+3x^3-3x\\\Rightarrow (x^2-1)^2+3x^3-3x\\$

--------------

Formula used above:

$a^{2} -2 \times a \times b +b^{2} = (a-b)^2$

In the above equation, we had $a = x, b = 1$ .

--------------

Further solving the above equation, taking $3x$ common out of $3x^3-3x$

$\Rightarrow (x^2-1)^2+3x(x^2-1)\\$

Taking $(x^{2} -1)$ common out of the above term:

$\Rightarrow (x^2-1)((x^2-1)+3x)\\\Rightarrow (x^2-1)(x^2+3x-1)$

So, the two factors are $(x^2-1)\ and\ (x^2+3x-1)$ .

$\therefore$ The statement that $x^2+3x-1$ is a factor of $x^4+3x^3-2x^2-3x+1$ is <em>True.</em>

Using the traditional formula, a 95% CI for p1 − p2 is to be constructed based on equal sample sizes from the two populations. F

inn [45]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Width = 0.4

Let's take the z value of 95% which is = 1.96

Let's assume population proportion p1 and p2 = 0.5

For margin of error E, the relation between the width and margin of error is 2E.

i.e 2E = 0.4

E = 0.2

To find the sample size, n, let's use the formula :

$n= \frac{z^2*(p_1(1-p_1) + p_2(1-p_2))}{E^2}$

$= \frac{1.96^2(0.5(1-0.5)+0.5(1-0.5))}{0.2^2}$

= 48.02

≈ 49
