If the circular opening of the pipe has a diameter of 21 inches and the oil was estimated to be flowing at 30 inches/second, how

many cubic feet of oil were leaving the pipe each second? Each day?

This is a matter of Amount = Rate  times  time.

First, find the area of the circular opening.  A = pi (r^2).  Here,

A = pi(10.5 inches)^2.

To obtain the volume of water that flows out of the pipe per second, multiply this area by the 30 inches per second rate.

That comes out to a volume per second of  Volume rate = pi*(10.5 inches)^2 * 30 inches per second:

Volume rate = 3.14(110.25 in^2)(30 inches/sec)
                     = 10390.8 cubic inches per second

Convert this result to cubic feet per second.  Recall that 1 cubic foot = (12 inches)^3, or 1728 cubic inches / 1 cubic foot.

Thus, 10390.8 cubic inches per second comes out to

           10390.8 cubic inches
           ----------------------------   =   Just over 6 cubic feet per sec.
               1728 cu. inches
                ---------------------
                  1 cu. ft

How many sec in 1 day?    1 day = 24 hours
                                             1 hour = 60 minutes
                                             60 seconds = 1 minute

Figure out how many seconds there are in 1 day, and then multiply your result by 6 cu. ft. / sec.

Simplify the expression (x^3- 5x^2 + 7x - 12) ÷ (x – 4) using long division​
Kisachek [45]

Answer:

{x}^{2} - x + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Instead, since the divisor is in the form of x - c, use what is called Synthetic Division. Remember, in this formula, -cgives you the OPPOSITE terms of what they really are, so do not forget it. Anyway, here is how it is done:

4| 1 −5 7 −12

↓ 4 −4 12

_______________

1 −1 3 0 → {x}^{2} - x + 3

You start by placing the c in the top left corner, then list all the coefficients of your dividend [x³ - 5x² + 7x - 12]. You bring down the original term closest to c then begin your multiplication. Now depending on what symbol your result is tells you whether the next step is to subtract or add, then you continue this process starting with multiplication all the way up until you reach the end. Now, when the last term is 0, that means you have no remainder. Finally, your quotient is one degree less than your dividend, so that 1 in your quotient can be an {x}^{2}, the −1 [x] follows right behind it, and bringing up the rear, comes the 3, giving you the quotient of {x}^{2} - x + 3.

An isosceles trapezoid is a quadrilateral with two congruent legs, a pair of parallel bases, and congruent base angles. Prove th
seraphim [82]

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

We must first define the concepts a little:

We have that when the sides are congruent that is to say that they have the same direction and the same size and also the two opposite sides are parallel, the angles will be the same.

Now, in an isosceles triangle, two angles are congruent, because their two sides are congruent.
