Water is added or drained from a tank each day. The first day, 910 of a gallon is added to the empty tank. The second day, 710 o

f a gallon is drained from the tank. The third day, 810 of a gallon is added to the tank. The fourth day, 610 of a gallon is drained from the tank.

Answer:

The quantity of water in the tank after 15 days is 1610.0 gallons OR 1.61 × 10³ gallons.

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount of water in the tank after 15 days is given by the series

910+(−710)+810+(−610)+⋯+310+(−110)+210

From the series, we can observe that, if water is added for a particular day then water will be drained the following day.

Also, for a day when water is to be added, the quantity to be added will be 100 gallon lesser than the quantity that was last added. Likewise, for a day when water is to be drained, the quantity to be drained will be 100 gallons lesser than the quantity that was last drained.

Hence, we can complete the series thus:

910+(−710)+810+(−610)+710(-510)+610(-410)+510(-310)+410(-210)+310+(−110)+210

To evaluate this, we  get

910-710+810-610+710-510+610-410+510-310+410-210+310-110+210

= 1610.0 gallons

Hence, the quantity of water in the tank after 15 days is 1610 gallons OR 1.61 × 10³ gallons.

How to simplify an expression with a negative exponent
svetlana [45]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

An negative exponent seems hard, but it really isn't!

Let's say you have 2^{-3}

All you do is inverse the expression, or find the reciprocal. When you do this the exponent changes to positive .  

\frac{1}{2^{3} }

2^{3} simplifies into 8. So, the result is

\frac{1}{8}

Hope this helps! Please mark as brainliest, thanks!

Consider the diagram.
Dima020 [189]

Answer:

AB = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that line, l is a perpendicular bisector of line segment AC. It intersects line segment AC at point B.

So, we can conclude that AB = BC ............ (1)

Also given that the length of line segment BC is 9.

Now, from equation (1) we can say that, AB = 9.

Therefore, the length of segment AB is 9. (Answer)
