Answer: after 40 seconds, the two tanks will have the same amount of water.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of seconds after which both tanks will have the same amount of water.

A fish tank has 150 gallons of water and is being drained at a rate of 1/2 gallons each second. It means that the number of gallons of water that would be in the tank after t seconds is

150 - 0.5t

A second fish tank has 120 gallons and it is being filled at a rate of 1/4 gallons each second. It means that the number of gallons of water that would be in the tank after t seconds is

120 + 0.25t

For the volume of both tanks to he the same, then

120 + 0.25t = 150 - 0.5t

0.25t + 0.5t = 150 - 120

0.75t = 30

t = 40 seconds

the power generated by an electrical circuit (in watts) as a function of its current C (in amperes) is modeled by P(c)= -15c(c-8
katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

c = 4 A

Step-by-step explanation:

The given function P(c) = - 15 c (c-8) is actually quadratic function:

P(c) = - 15c² + 120c    or parabola

The standard form of a quadratic function is:

y = ax² + bx + c

For which x is the maximum of the parabola we can find with this formula

x = - b/2a

in this case a = -15 and b = 120 and input variable is current c

c = - 120/(2 · (-15)) = - 120/ (-30) = 4 A

c = 4 A

God with you!!!

Using trig how do you answer this
Aneli [31]

Answer:

62.73° or 1.09 radians

Step-by-step explanation:

SOH CAH TOA

sin = \frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}, so sin (?) = \frac{8}{9}

this means that ? = sin^{-1}(\frac{8}{9}) or ? = arcsin(\frac{8}{9}), depending on what calculator you have

plugging in sin^{-1}(\frac{8}{9}) or arcsin(\frac{8}{9}) into calculator will get you

62.73° or 1.09 radians

use the corresponding answer depending on if the question asks for degrees or radians
