Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the waterbed is rectangular, its volume would be determined by applying the formula for determining the volume of a cuboid which is expressed as

Volume = length × width × height

Therefore,

Volume of waterbed = 7 × 5 × 1 = 35 cubic feet

1 US gallon = 0.133680556 cubic feet

Therefore, converting 35cubic feet to gallons, it becomes

35/0.133680556 = 261.81818094772 gallons

Rounding up to whole gallon, it becomes 262 gallons

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

We want to find the volume of this rectangular waterbed. This means the amount of space it takes up. To find the volume of a rectangular prism, you just multiply together the three side lengths.

7×5×1=35 cubic feet

Now, we need to see how many gallons fit into 35 cubic feet. We see that one gallon is equal to 0.13 cubic feet. So, we can set up a proportion to find how many gallons are needed. We will use g to represent our missing number of gallons.

$\frac{gallons}{cubic feet} = \frac{1}{0.13} =\frac{g}{35}$

In a proportion, the products of the diagonal numbers are equal. This means that 35, which is 1 multiplied by 35, is equal to 0.13g, which is from multiplying 0.13 by the g.

0.13g=35

We divide both sides by 0.13/

g≈269.23

When rounded to the nearest whole gallon, we will need 269 gallons of water to fill the waterbed.

I hope that this helps! Have a wonderful day! :D

F(x)=2x^(2)-5x-20 find f(-9)

Fed [463]

Answer:

<h2>187 </h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

$f(x) = 2 {x}^{2} - 5x - 20$

To find f(-9) , substitute the value of x that's - 9 into f (x). That is for every x in f(x) replace it with - 9

We have

$f( - 9) = 2 ({ - 9})^{2} - 5( - 9) - 20 \\ = 2(81) + 45 - 20 \\ = 162 + 25 \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \\ = 187 \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \:$

We have the final answer as

<h3>187</h3>

Hope this helps you

slava [35]

Answer:

Part 1) $m$

Part 2) $m$

Part 3) $m$

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1) Find the measure of angle ECF

we know that

CF is tangent at point C

so

the radius EC is perpendicular to the tangent CF

therefore

Part 2) Find the measure of angle AKB

we know that

The measure of the interior angle is the semi-sum of the arcs comprising it and its opposite

$m$

substitute the values

$m$

Part 3) Find the measure of angle ACF

we know that

The inscribed angle is half that of the arc it comprises

$m$

substitute the values

Through (-1,3) parallel to y= 5/4x+3

gavmur [86]

Answer:

The equation of line with slope $\frac{5}{4}$ and points ( - 1 , 3 ) is y = $\frac{5}{4}$ x + $\frac{17}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation of a line as :

y = $\frac{5}{4}$ x + 3

The line equation is in the form of y = m x + c

Where m is the slope of the line

Now while comparing given line equation with standard line equation ,

So , slope of the line m = $\frac{5}{4}$

∵ Another line is passing through points ( - 1 , 3 ) , and is parallel to given line

Now <u>if two lines are parallel then slope of both lines are equal </u>

Let The slope of another line = M

So, M = m = $\frac{5}{4}$

∴ The equation of line with slope $\frac{5}{4}$ and passing through points ( - 1 , 3 ) is

y - $y_1$ = M × ( x - $x_1$ )

Or, y - 3 = × $\frac{5}{4}$ ( x + 1 )

or, 4 × ( y - 3 ) = 5 × ( x + 1 )

Or, 4 y - 12 = 5 x + 5

Or, 4 y = 5 x + 17

∴ y = $\frac{5}{4}$ x + $\frac{17}{4}$

Hence The equation of line with slope $\frac{5}{4}$ and points ( - 1 , 3 ) is y = $\frac{5}{4}$ x + $\frac{17}{4}$ Answer
