Answer:

$x=46$ and $y=45$

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, you must set up a system of equations. The first sentence says that there are two numbers and that their sum is 91, so your first equation is $x+y=91$ . For the next equation, it says that the difference of those same numbers is 1, which means that the equation is $x-y=1$ . Now, putting those two together for the system of equations, it's easiest to add them. The result will be $2x=92$ which when simplified gives you the value of x. Taking the value of x, you can substitute in the second equation to find the value of y.

Hope this helped!

A water storage tank has the shape of a cylinder with diameter 14 ft. It is mounted so that the circular cross-sections are vert

andrezito [222]

Answer:

percentage of the total capacity is 75.6%

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello! To solve this problem we follow the following steps

1. draw the complete scheme of the problem (see attached image)

2. To solve this problem we must find the area of the circular sector using the following equation.(c in the second attached image)

$A=\frac{R^2}{2} (\alpha -sin\alpha )$

$\alpha =2arccos(\frac{d}{R})$

3. observing the attached images we replace the values in the equations and find the area of the circular sector, remember that you must transform the angle to radians

$\alpha =2arccos(\frac{5}{7})=88.83$

$A=\frac{R^2}{2} (\alpha -sin\alpha )\\A=\frac{7^2}{2} (88.83-sen88.83)*\frac{\pi rad}{180} =37.57ft^2$

4.we calculate the area of the total circle (At), then subtract the area of the circular sector (Ac) to find the area occupied by water (Aw)

$At=\frac{\pi }{4} (14ft)^2=153.93ft^2$

Aw=At-Ac=153.93-37.57=116.36ft^2

5.Finally, we calculate the percentage that represents the water in the tank by dividing the area of the water over the total area of the tank

$\frac{116.36}{153.93} *100=75.6$

percentage of the total capacity is 75.6%

You have to make a cos graph that starts its minimum and of -2, has an amplitude of 10, a period of 10 and a maximum of 18.
I decided to use a cos graph since cos graphs start at their minimum or maximum unlike a sine graph that starts halfway between the minimum and maximum. You also know the amplitude has to be 10 since 18+2=20 and 20/2=10. We were also told that the water wheel completels a rotation every 10 minutes which means the period is 10 minutes.

lets start of with a regular cos(x) graph. This starts on its maximum instead of minimum so we have to multiply it by -1 to get -cos(x) which does start on its minimum.

-cos(x) has an amplitude of 1 instead of 10, to fix that we multiply it by 10 to get -10cos(x) which has an amplitude of 10.

-10cos(x) has a period of 2π instead of 10, to fix this we multiply the x by 2π/10 to get -10cos((π/5)x) which now has a period of 10.

-10cos((π/5)x) has a minimum of -10 and maximum of 10 instead of a minimum of -2 and maximum of 18, to fix this we add 8 to -10cos((π/5)x) to get -10cos((π/5)x)+8 which does have a minimum of -2 and maximum of 18.

Therefore the answer is y=-10cos((π/5)x)+8. x being time in minutes and and y being the height in feet.

I hope this helps. Let me know if anything is unclear.
