Water is leaking out of a large barrel at a rate proportional to the square rooot of the depth of the water at that time. If the

water level starts at 36 inches and drops to 34 inches in 1 hour. How long will it take for all of the water to drain out of that barrel?

Answer:

It will take about 35.49 hours for the water to leak out of the barrel.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let y(t) be the depth of water in the barrel at time t,  where y is measured in inches and t in hours.

We know that water is leaking out of a large barrel at a rate proportional to the square root of the depth of the water at that time. We then have that

                                                 \frac{dy}{dt}=-k\sqrt{y}

where k is a constant of proportionality.

Separation of variables is a common method for solving differential equations. To solve the above differential equation you must:

Multiply by \frac{1}{\sqrt{y}}

\frac{1}{\sqrt{y}}\frac{dy}{dt}=-k

Multiply by dt

\frac{1}{\sqrt{y}}\cdot dy=-k\cdot dt

Take integral

\int \frac{1}{\sqrt{y}}\cdot dy=\int-k\cdot dt

Integrate

2\sqrt{y}=-kt+C

Isolate y

y(t)=(\frac{C}{2} -\frac{k}{2}t)^2

We know that the water level starts at 36, this means y(0)=36. We use this information to find the value of C.

36=(\frac{C}{2} -\frac{k}{2}(0))^2\\C=12

y(t)=(\frac{12}{2} -\frac{k}{2}t)^2\\\\y(t)=(6 -\frac{k}{2}t)^2

At t = 1, y = 34

34=(6 -\frac{k}{2}(1))^2\\k=12-2\sqrt{34}

So our formula for the depth of water in the barrel is

y(t)=(6 -\frac{12-2\sqrt{34}}{2}t)^2\\\\y(t)=\left(6-\left(6-\sqrt{34}\right)t\right)^2\\

To find the time, t, at which all the water leaks out of the barrel, we solve the equation

\left(6-\left(6-\sqrt{34}\right)t\right)^2=0\\\\t=3\left(6+\sqrt{34}\right)\approx 35.49

Thus, it will take about 35.49 hours for the water to leak out of the barrel.

The Print Shop provides copying services to the general public. The Print Shop has equipment which is capable of making 1,800 co
steposvetlana [31]

a) The financial analysis determining the acceptance of the special order is as follows:

Data and Financial Analysis:

Capacity of photocopier per hour = 1,800 copies

Practical capacity of equipment = 7 hours

Total copies in a day = 12,600 (1,800 x 7)

Steady demand per day = 10,000

Variable cost per copy = $0.22

Service price per copy = $0.25

Profit per copy = $0.03 ($0.25 - $0.22)

Normal profit based on steady demand of 10,000 = $300 ($0.03 x 10,000)

Profit based on maximum capacity of 12,600 = $378 ($0.03 x 12,600)

Price per copy for the special customer = $0.24

Profit per copy based on special price of $0.24 = $0.02 ($0.24 - $0.22)

Profit from special customer with 5,000 pages = $100 (5,000 x $0.02)

Profit from other probable customers = $228 (7,600 x $0.03)

Lost profit for accepting special order based on maximum capacity = $50 ($378 - $228 - $100)

Lost profit if order is <u>not accepted</u> and demand is only 10,000 copies = $78 ($378 - $300)

  • Therefore, the special order at $0.24 should be accepted.

b) The largest order from customer that the shop could accept = 5,000 + $50/$0.02

= 5,000 + 2,500

= 7,500 copies

Thus, if the customer orders 7,500 copies to be made, the shop can still realize a maximum profit of $378 by accepting orders for additional 5,100 (12,600 - $7,500) copies from others.

Can someone figure out the problem in this image?
erma4kov [3.2K]
Right side:
(1/27)^(2x+10)
=(3^-3)^(2x+10)
= 3^(-6x - 30)

Re-write both sides:
3^(4x-5) = 3^(-6x - 30)

from here, you can solve x 

4x - 5 = -6x - 30
4x + 6x = -30 + 5
10x = -25
    x = -2.5

Change 1 1/2 to an improper fraction = 3/2

3/2 * 3/4 = 6/4 * 3/4

6/4 * 3/4 = 18/4 = 4 2/4 = 4 1/2

The answer is 4 1/2.

Find the measure of b.
Alika [10]

Answer:

b = 55°

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle at the centre is twice the angle on the circle subtended by the same arc, then

a = 0.5 × 110° = 55°

Angles on the circumference subtended by the same arc are congruent, so

b = a = 55°
