A 450-gallon tank full of water is draining at a rate of 20 gallons per minute.

Mathematics

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

A function show the relationship between an independent variable and a dependent variable. The independent variable (input) does not depend on other variables while the dependent variable (output) depend on other variables.

In this question, amount of water in tank is dependent variable and the time taken is the independent variable. Let y represent amount of water in tank and x represent the time it has been draining. Therefore:

a) This can be represented by the equation:

y = 450 -  20x

At 7 minutes (x = 7)

y = 450 - 20(7)

y = 310 gallons

b) For 200 gallons (y = 200), the time taken is:

200 = 450 - 20x

200 - 450 = -20x

-20x = -250

x = -250/-20

x = 12.5 minutes

c) y = 450 - 20x

d) The graph was plotted using geogebra onling graphing calculator.

e) When the tank is empty, y = 0, hence

0 = 450 - 20x

20x = 450

x = 450 / 20

x = 22.5 minutes

Explain why the steps for solving equations are usually given as removing grouping symbols first, even though it is not necessar
finlep [7]
This is because simplifying the equation before solving it will lead you to the answer at a much faster rate. For example, in the given equation, the long way would be to distribute 2 to (x+3). Then, you transpose them and combine like terms. Until you get to x + 3 = 8. But if you simplify it first, you will see that it is straightforward. It will lead you to the answer right away which is x + 3 = 8. It saves you from the hassle of doing more algebra :)

Let x denote the distance (m) that an animal moves from its birth site to the first territorial vacancy it encounters. suppose t
forsale [732]

To solve this problem, we have to use the formula:

P = 1 - e^(-λx)

<span>where λ = 0.01382, and x is the  distance</span>

 

A. when x = 100

(P < or equal to 100) = 1 - e^(-0.01382 * 100)

(P < or equal to 100) = 0.75 


B. when x = 200
<span>(P < or equal to 200) = 1 - e^(-0.01382 * 200)
(P < or equal to 200) = 0.94</span>

 

C. when 100 < x < 200
P (100 < x < 200) = P ((x < 100) + P(x > 200)) 
P (100 < x < 200) = 0.75 + (1 – 0.94)

<span>P (100 < x < 200) = 0.81 </span>

Rules:
2: the number has to be even, ex: 46 & 82
3: add each digit, if it is divisible by 3, ex: 39, 3 + 9 = 12, which is divisible by 3, so 39 is divisible by three
4: if the number can be divided by 2 two times, 48 divided by 2 = 24 divided by 2 is 12. So 48 is divisible by 4
5: the last digit must be 0 or 5, ex: 45 and 120
6: the number should be even and divisible by 3, ex: 66, 66 is even and 6 + 6 can be divided by 3. so 66 is divisible by 6
9: add each digit, if it is divisible by 9. 189 = 1 + 8 + 9 = 18 can be divided by 9 so 189 is divisible by 9
10: the last digit must be 0, ex: 40 and 5600

Answers:
120- 2, 3, 5, 6, 10
125- 5
180- 2, 3, 5, 6, 9, 10
324- 2, 3, 6, 9
660- 2, 3, 5, 6, 10

Let f(x) = 4x2 + 8x + 7 and g(x) = 3x + 2. Determine the rule for the composite functions f ∘ g and g ∘ f.
Nataliya [291]

Answer:

(g ° f)(x) = 12x² + 24x + 23

(f ° g)(x) = 36x² + 72x + 49

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we go. Firstly you have to rewrite f ° g into f(g(x)), that should make it clearer. We, then substitute every x in f by g(x). So:

f(g(x)) = 4(g(x))² + 8(g(x)) + 7

= 4(3x+2)²+8(3x+2)+7

= 4(9x²+12x+4) + 24x + 16 + 17

= 36x² + 48x + 16 + 24x + 16 + 17

finally.. you need to regroup like that:

f ° g(x) = 36x² + 72x + 49

The same thing for g ° f(x)

but this time you substitute by f(x) in g(x) instead.
