[NOTE: NO OPTION MATCHES THE ANSWER because values provided are wrong but I have solved the qyestion with the given values for your understanding, If B and C will take 1/2 hours then the answer will be 1 that is Option E]

Answer:

Pumps A and B,

A + B = 5/6

Pumps A and C,

A + C = 3/2

Pumps B and C,

B + C = 2

Now we have to find

A + B + C = ?

For this we will add all of the above equations from both sides.

A+B + A+C +B+C = 5/6 + 3/2 + 2

Taking LCM on R.H.S,

2A + 2B + 2C = (5+9+12)/6

2(A+B+C) = 26/6

2(A+B+C)= 13/3

A+B+C = 13/6

It will take 13/6 hours if A,B and C are pumped simultaneously.

Use a calculator to approximate the measure of the acute angle A to the nearest tenth of a degree. sin A = 0.7793
Aleksandr [31]

The measure of acute angle A to the nearest tenth of a degree is 51.2°

<h3>Measure of angles</h3>

From the given information, we are to determine the measure of the angle.

The angle we are to determine its measure is acute angle A

From the given information, we have that

sin A = 0.7793

Thus,

A = sin⁻¹(0.7793)

Using calculator

A = 51.1965°

A ≅ 51.2°

Hence, the measure of acute angle A to the nearest tenth of a degree is 51.2°

What is the nth term of the geometric sequence -2,10,-50
poizon [28]

Answer:

T_n=-1(-5)^n^-^1

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given;

A geometric sequence;

-2,10,-50

Required to determine the nth term

The nth term in a geometric sequence is given by the formula;

T_n=a_1r^n^-^1

where a_1 is the first term and r is the common ratio;

In this case;

a_1=-2

r = 10 ÷ -2

  = -5

Therefore;

To get the nth term in the given geometric sequence we use;

T_n=-1(-5)^n^-^1

Thus, the nth term is T_n=-1(-5)^n^-^1
