Answer:

the container is 1/4 full at 9:58 AM

Step-by-step explanation:

since the volume doubles every minute , the formula for calculating the volume V at any time t is

V(t)=V₀*2^-t , where t is in minutes back from 10 AM and V₀= container volume

thus for t=1 min (9:59 AM) the volume is V₁=V₀/2 (half of the initial one) , for t=2 (9:58 AM) is V₂=V₁/2=V₀/4  ...

therefore when the container is 1/4 full the volume is V=V₀/4 , thus replacing in the equation we obtain

V=V₀*2^-t

V₀/4 = V₀*2^-t

1/4 = 2^-t

appling logarithms

ln (1/4) = -t* ln 2

t = - ln (1/4)/ln 2 = ln 4 /ln 2 = 2*ln 2 / ln 2 = 2

thus t=2 min before 10 AM → 9:58 AM

therefore the container is 1/4 full at 9:58 AM

Find the number of integral solutions of x+y +z = 12, where −3 ≤ x ≤ 4, 2 ≤ y ≤ 11, and<br> z ≥ 3.
SashulF [63]

There are 59 integer solutions

Such questions are best solved by writing cases and calculating the total number of cases. So beginning with

1)  x = -3. The possible combinations are as follows:-

-3 2 13

-3 3 12

-3 4 11

-3 5 10

-3 6 9

-3 7 8

-3 8 7

-3 9 6

-3 10 5

-3 11 4

10 combinations

2) x = -2

-2 2 12

through

-2 11 3

10 combinations

3) x = -1

-1 2 11

through

-1 10 3

9 combinations

4) x = 0

0 2 10

through

0 9 3

8 combinations

as we can see from the pattern at x =1  we get 7 combinations, at x =2  we get 6 combinations, at x=3 we get 5 combinations and at x =4  we get 5 combinations.

Thus total number of combinations 4+5+6+7+8+9+10+10 = 59 integer solution.
