one pump, let's call it A, fills the reservoir by 1/60 every hour. Now, B fills it by 1/80 every hour. C empties it by 1/90 every hour. All three are on, so now we combine them into one function: t(1/60 + 1/80 - 1/90) = 1, where t = the time it takes to fill it, and 1 is just our "reservoir finally filled" marker.

isolate t onto one side and we see t = 720/13 exactly, or approximately 55.38 hours. let me know if this is the wrong answer but I'm pretty sure it is correct!

Answer:

1/time needed = 1/time of 1st pump + 1/time of 2nd pump - 1/time of 3rd pump

1/t = 1/t1 + 1/t2 - 1/t3

1/t = 1/60 + 1/80 - 1/90

1/t = 12/720 + 9/720 - 8/720

1/t = 13/720

t = 720/13 hours = 55.38 hours = 55 hours 23 minutes

Answer:

b = 33m is the answer

Step-by-step explanation:

a = 44m

b = ?

c = 55m

According to the Pythagoras theorem,

a² + b² = c²

44² + b² = 55²

1936 + b² = 3025

b² = 3025 - 1936

b² = 1089

b = 33m

∴ b = 33m is the length of the missing leg.

Two types of memberships are available for a theme park:
sergiy2304 [10]

The equation 2v-41=0 can be used to find the number of visits that would make two memberships cost the same amount.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Per month charges of type 1 = $86

Per visit charge = $3

Let,

v be the number of visits.

T(v) = 3v+86    

Per month charges of type 2 = $45

Per visit charge = $5

P(v) = 5v+45

For same amount to be charged;

T(v) = P(v)

3v+86=5v+45\\86-45=5v-3v\\41=2v\\2v-41=0

The equation 2v-41=0 can be used to find the number of visits that would make two memberships cost the same amount.

find the component equation of the plane which is normal to the vector -2i+5j+k and which contains the point (-10;7;5).​
maksim [4K]

Given:

A plane is normal to the vector = -2i+5j+k

It contains the point (-10,7,5).​

To find:

The component equation of the plane.

Solution:

The equation of plane is

a(x-x_0)+b(y-y_0)+c(z-z_0)=0

Where, (x_0,y_0,z_0) is the point on the plane and \left< a,b,c\right> is normal vector.

Normal vector is -2i+5j+k and plane passes through (-10,7,5). So, the equation of the plane is

-2(x-(-10))+5(y-7)+1(z-5)=0

-2(x+10)+5y-35+z-5=0

-2x-20+5y-35+z-5=0

-2x+5y+z-60=0

-2x+5y+z=60

Therefore, the equation of the plane is -2x+5y+z=60.
