A leak in a pool causes the height of the water to decrease by 0.25 foot over 2 hours. After the leak is fixed, the height of th

e water is 4.75 feet. The equation 4.75 = x + (negative 0.25) can be used to find x, the original height of the water in a pool.
What was the original height of the water in the pool in feet?

Answer:

Assuming the leak took 2 hours to fix, the original height of the pool is 5 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is probably the most simple "high school" problem I've seen in a while. All you have to do is move the negative 0.25 to the other side to isolate x. That gives you 4.75 + 0.25, or 5 feet.

Answer:

(B) 5 Feet

Step-by-step explanation:

if water decresed .25 feet it was then .25 feet higher originally.

if the  water is 4.75 feet now you add the .25 compared to that equalling 5 ft.

Why is the - sin of x the same as the sin of -x?
Neko [114]

Answer:

Sine is an odd function and presents positive values in the 1st and 2nd quadrants and negative values in the 3rd and 4th quadrants.

Step-by-step explanation:

-sin(x) = sin(-x)

This property is valid because the sine trigonometric function presents positive values in the first two quadrants and negative values in the third and fourth quadrants. The sine function is an odd function with symmetry with respect to the origin, which means that sin(x) and sin(-x) will always present opposite signs.

Which expression is equivalent to n + n - 0.18n?
horrorfan [7]

n + n - 0.18n

We can rewrite it as

2n - 0.18n

And if we solve it

(2 - 0.18)n = 1.82n

So the equivalente expression is B.

The side lengths of a triangle are 9, 12, and 15. Is this a right triangle?
andriy [413]

Answer:

<h2>Yes, this is a right triangle.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Hypotenuse always have the highest number than base and perpendicular.

Hypotenuse ( h ) = 15

Base ( b ) = 9

Perpendicular ( p ) = 12

Let's see whether the given triangle is a right triangle or not

Using Pythagoras theorem:

{h}^{2}  =  {p}^{2}  +  {b}^{2}

Plugging the values,

{15}^{2}  =  {12}^{2}  +  {9}^{2}

Evaluate the power

225  = 144 + 81

Calculate the sum

225 = 225

Hypotenuse is equal to the sum of perpendicular and base.

So , we can say that the given lengths of the triangle makes a right triangle.

Hope this helps..

Best regards!!
