Pump 1 can empty a pool in 8 hours while Pump 2 can empty the same pool in 9 hours. If the two pumps worked together, how long w

<span>Rate of pump A: 1/8 of a pool per hour 
Rate of pump B: 1/9 of a pool per hour 
Combined rate: 1/8+1/9 = 17/72 +1/9 = 25/72 

So if they work together, the two pumps have a combined rate of 25/72 of a pool per hour (i.e in one hour, the two pumps will empty 25/72 of the pool) 

</span><span>But we want to empty ONE pool (not 25/72 of one). So we need to multiply 25/72 by some number x to get 1.
 </span>
<span>Now solve for x 
x=2.88
</span><span>It will take the two pumps 2.88 hours to empty the pool.
2 hours 52 minutes 50 seconds</span>

A bag contains 3 red marbles, 4 blue marbles, and 6 green marbles. Which pair of events are complementary events? A) choosing a
kotykmax [81]

Answer:

Event D

Step-by-step explanation:

Complementary events are those events that are opposites of each other. i.e. in this case the complementary event for choosing a green marble is not choosing a green. It has nothing to do with choosing or not choosing marbles of colors other than green.

WILL MARK BRILLIANT!!! I need help ASAP
Rashid [163]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Charging by the quarter mile is for purpose of making that particular taxi service seem cheaper than the others when they post a per mile charge.  If this taxi company is charging .50 per 1/4 mile, they are charging $2 per mile.  So we will base our equation on the per mile charge, not the per quarter-mile charge.  If x is the number of mile driven (our uknown), and we have a flat fee of $2.50 regardless of how many miles we are driven, the cost function in terms of miles is

C(x) = 2x + 2.50

If we are driven 5 miles, then

C(5) = 2(5) + 2.50 so

C(5) = 10 + 2.50 and

C(5) = $12.50

It would cost $12.50 to be driven 5 miles

After an antibiotic tablet is taken, the concentration of the antibiotic in the bloodstream is modelled by the function C(t)=8(e
Alexxx [7]

Answer:

the maximum concentration of the antibiotic during the first 12 hours is 1.185 \mu g/mL at t= 2 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information:

After an antibiotic tablet is taken, the concentration of the antibiotic in the bloodstream is modeled by the function where the time t is measured in hours and C is measured in \mu g/mL

C(t) = 8(e^{(-0.4t)}-e^{(-0.6t)})

Thus, we are given the time interval [0,12] for t.

  • We can apply the first derivative test, to know the absolute maximum value because we have a closed interval for t.
  • The first derivative test focusing on a particular point. If the function switches or changes from increasing to decreasing at the point, then the function will achieve a highest value at that point.

First, we differentiate C(t) with respect to t, to get,

\frac{d(C(t))}{dt} = 8(-0.4e^{(-0.4t)}+ 0.6e^{(-0.6t)})

Equating the first derivative to zero, we get,

\frac{d(C(t))}{dt} = 0\\\\8(-0.4e^{(-0.4t)}+ 0.6e^{(-0.6t)}) = 0

Solving, we get,

8(-0.4e^{(-0.4t)}+ 0.6e^{(-0.6t)}) = 0\\\displaystyle\frac{e^{-0.4}}{e^{-0.6}} = \frac{0.6}{0.4}\\\\e^{0.2t} = 1.5\\\\t = \frac{ln(1.5)}{0.2}\\\\t \approx 2

At t = 0

C(0) = 8(e^{(0)}-e^{(0)}) = 0

At t = 2

C(2) = 8(e^{(-0.8)}-e^{(-1.2)}) = 1.185

At t = 12

C(12) = 8(e^{(-4.8)}-e^{(-7.2)}) = 0.059

Thus, the maximum concentration of the antibiotic during the first 12 hours is 1.185 \mu g/mL at t= 2 hours.

A string of decorative lights is 22 feet long. The first light on the string is 16 inches from the plug. The
Masteriza [31]

Answer:

63 Lights

Step-by-step explanation:

First you can convert the feet to inches:

The length of decorative lights is 264 inches

You can then subtract 16 from 264

264 - 16 = 248

248/4 = 62

Adding one extra light at the end of the string of decorative lights you can get 63 lights on the string

rancher wants to fence in an area of 2000000 square feet in a rectangular field and then divide it in half with a fence down the
zheka24 [161]

Answer:

  • 7000ft

Step-by-step explanation:

let's break down 2,000,000 into its multiples,

Multiples of 2,000,000= 2⁷ × 5⁶

Using above values to find different combinations of length(l) and breadth (b) of rectangle and corresponding parameter of rectangle

  • l=5,   b=400,000  ,parameter= 2(5) + 2(400,000)= 800,010, total length of fence required= parameter+ side with shortest length= 800,015
  • l=2   b=1,000,000 parameter= 2,000,004, shortest fence required= 2,000,008
  • l=4,  b= 500,000 parameter= 1,000,008, shortest fence required= 1,000,012
  • From above, we can see a trend that the parameter of rectangle decreases if length and breadth are increased provided that area is constant. So, a rectangle will have shortest parameter if all of its sides are equal.
  • length of side of rectangle with shortest possible parameter= 2^3 ×5^3= 1000 and breadth of side of rectangle with shortest possible parameter= 2^4× 5^3=2000
  • Shortest possible length of fence= 2(2000)+2(1000)+1000=7000ft
