A swimming pool is being drained so it can be cleaned. The amount of water in the pool is changing according to the función f(t)

= 80,000 - 16,000t , where t = time in hours and f(t) = amount of water in liters. What is the domain of this function in this situation? Explain how you found your answer.

Answer:

0 ≤ t ≤ 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the function f(t), t is the independent variable. The domain of f is the set of all values of t that this function can accept.

In this case, f(t) is defined in a real-life context. Hence, consider the real-life constraints on the two variables. Both time and volume should be non-negative. In other words,

  • t \ge 0.
  • f(t) \ge 0.

The first condition is an inequality about t, which is indeed the independent variable.

However, the second condition is about f, the dependent variable of this function. It has to be rewritten as a condition about t.

\begin{aligned} f(t) &\ge 0 &&\text{Assumption} \cr 80000 - 16000\, t& \ge 0 && \text{Definition of} ~ f \cr 80000 & \ge 16000\, t && \begin{aligned}&\text{Add $16000\, t$} \\[-0.5em] & \text{to both sides of the inequality}\end{aligned} \cr 5 &\ge t &&\begin{aligned}&\text{Divide both sides of} \\[-0.5em] & \text{the inequality by $16000$}\end{aligned} \cr t &\le 5 && \text{Flip the inequality}\end{aligned}.

Hence, t ≤ 5.

Combine the two inequalities to obtain the domain:

0 ≤ t ≤ 5.

Jessica prepared 36 kilograms of dough after working 6 hours. How much dough did Jessica prepare if she worked for 8 hours? Assu
Pepsi [2]

Answer:

48

Step-by-step explanation:

because 36 divided by 6 is 6 and that is how much dough she produces in an hour so if you added two more 6s to 6 to make it 8 meaning you are adding 12 because that is how much dough she makes in an hour

You have quarters and dimes that total $2.80. your friend says it is possible that the number of quarters is 8 more than the num
ss7ja [257]
To answer this question, you need to know that a quarter is worth $0.25 and dimes worth $0.10. In this case, the total number of money that made from quarters and dimes is $2.80
With Q=quarter and D=dime, then the equation should be:
2.80= 0.25 Q + 0.10 D

The condition that needs to be fulfilled in this case is that the quarter should be 8 more than dimes. Then you need to find out the highest possible number of the quarter and lowest possible number of the dimes.  
If you divide 2.8 with 0.25 you will found it will be 11.2 but 11 quarter will result with 0.05 value which you cannot remove, so the highest possible of the quarter should be 10.
If the highest possible of the quarter is 10, then the lowest possible of dimes should be:
2.8= 0.25(10) + 0.10D
0.10D= 0.3
D=3

Since 10-3 is 7, then it is not possible for the quarter to be 8 more than the dimes.

Write the polynomial in standard form. Then name the polynomial on its degree and numbers of terms. 8-4x^2+10x^2+2x
mojhsa [17]
8-4x^2+10x^2+2x
8+6x^2+2x
6x^2+2x+8

This is a quadratic equation since it has three terms. Now, a=6 (that is, a≠0) and therefore, it is a quadratic trinomial equation.

The correct answer is C.)

Martha has $180. She needs a total of $2,000 to start investing in stocks. She earns $60 per day working, of which she saves $50
DIA [1.3K]
So she earns $60 per day working, but only saves $50. To solve this equation you have to multiply $50 to each day she works. If the total has to be exactly $2,000 then you must multiply 50 x 36.4 and that equals $2,000.
Your answer should be 36.4 days.
