Answer:

41.04 g/L

Step-by-step explanation:

The relationship is modeled by the following function:

S(t) = 500*e^(-0.25*t)

where t is time elapsed after the dilution begins (in hours) and S(t) the concentration of salt in the tank (in g/L)

Replacing with t = 10

S(t) = 500*e^(-0.25*10)

S(t) = 41.04 g/L

When both pipes are working together, how long does it take them to fill the tank?

AleksAgata [21]

Well, since 1 tank takes 60 minutes (hour) and the other takes 40 minutes , add those to get 100 minutes . Divide 6000 by 100 to see how long it takes to fill the tank

Answer :60 minutes or an hour

Hope this helps!

Suppose you want to build a small walkway around your garden so that there is someplace to walk around and work on your vegetabl

Answer:

Approximately 3.5 feet - Option B

Step-by-step explanation:

Imagine that you have this walkway around the garden, with dimensions 30 by 20 feet. This walkway has a difference of x feet between it's length, and say the dimension 30 feet. In fact it has a difference of x along both dimensions - on either ends. Therefore, the increases length and width should be 30 + 2x, and 20 + 2x, which is with respect to an increases area of 1,000 square feet.

( 30 + 2x ) $*$ ( 20 + 2x ) = 1000 - Expand "( 30 + 2x ) $*$ ( 20 + 2x )"

600 + 100x + 4 $x^2$ = 1000 - Subtract 1000 on either side, making on side = 0

4 $x^2$ + 100x - 400 = 0 - Take the "quadratic equation formula"

( Quadratic Equation is as follows ) - $x_{1,\:2}=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$ ,

$x=\frac{-100+\sqrt{100^2-4\cdot \:4\left(-400\right)}}{2\cdot \:4}:\quad \frac{5\left(\sqrt{41}-5\right)}{2}$ ,

$x=\frac{-100-\sqrt{100^2-4\cdot \:4\left(-400\right)}}{2\cdot \:4}:\quad -\frac{5\left(5+\sqrt{41}\right)}{2}$

There can't be a negative width of the walkway, hence our solution should be ( in exact terms ) $\frac{5\left(\sqrt{41}-5\right)}{2}$ . The approximated value however is 3.5081...or approximately 3.5 feet.
