A fire engine starts pumping water at 9:20 am at the rate of 800 gallons per minute. Another fire engine, pumping at the rate of

1000 gallons per minute, starts at 9:30 am. At what time will the two engines have pumped the same number of gallon

Answer:

At 10:10 am

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi to answer this question we have to write a system of equations:

  • <em>Fire engine 1: 800 m  </em>

Where m: pumping time of the engine

  • <em>Fire engine 2: 1000 (m-10) </em>

Because it starts 10 minute later  

So, putting together both equations:

800m = 1000(m-10)

800m = 1000m - 10000

10000 = 1000m-800m

10000= 200m

10000/200=m

50 =m (50 minutes after the first engine starts)

So, 9:20 am + 50 minutes : 10:10 am .

Answer:

10:10 AM

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing is to use an identical time variable for both cases, we will do it as follows:

Let t = number of minutes of pumping time of the first fire engine

Therefore, for the second fire truck it would be:

(t-10) = pumping time of the second fire engine, since it started 10 min after the first engine.

To find the value of t, we equalize the equations of the first engine and the second engine:

We know that the first one would be: 800 * t

And the second: 1000 * (t-10)

Thus

1000 * (t-10) = 800 * t

1000 * t - 10000 = 800t

1000 * t - 800 * t = 10000

200 * t = 10000

t = 10000/200

t = 50 minutes

In other words, 50 minutes after the first engine starts pumping, it equaled the second

To know the time they were matched it would be like this:

9:20 AM +: 50 = 10:10 AM

Therefore, at 10:10 AM both engines were matched.

To check the above we have to:

50 * 800 = 40000

40 * 1000 = 40000

Therefore, in that time, they were equalized.

Q. What is the equation of this line?<br> A: x=5 <br> B: y=5x<br> C: x=-5<br> D: y=5
Stels [109]
A) x=5
The sideways line is always x, and the line going up is y, so since the line is only touching the x-intercept you just count where the line is, so x=5

In quadrilateral PQRS, the coordinates are P(o, o), Q(a+c, o), R(2a+c,
alexandr1967 [171]
Given:
  Quadrilateral PQRS
  P(o, o), Q(a+c, o), R(2a+c, b), S(a, b)
Find:
  whether the diagonals are perpendicular using coordinate geometry
Solution:
  If the diagonals are perpendicular, their slopes multiply to give -1.
The slope of PR is
  (b-o)/(2a+c-o)
The slope of QS is
  (b-o)/(a-(a+c)) = (b-o)/(-c)
The product of these slopes is
  (b-o)·(b-o)/((2a+c-o)(-c))
This value will not be -1 except for very specific values of a, b, c, and o.

It cannot be concluded that the diagonals of PQRS are perpendicular based on the given coordinates.

How can you quickly determine the number of roots a polynomial will have by looking at the equation?
Alika [10]
Suppose we have a generic polynomial of the form:
 ax ^ 2 + bx + c&#10;
 To know how many roots the polynomial can have, the first thing you should do is observe the term of greatest exponent.
 For this case, the term of greatest exponent is 2.
 Therefore, the polynomial has 2 roots.
 Answer:
 
You must observe the term of the polynomial with greater exponent.
