Answer:

The proportion <u>1 L : 0.26 gal = x L : 12500 gal</u>.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

A fountain holds 12,500 gallons of water.

1 L = 0.26 gal

Now, to get the proportion to solve for the number of litres.

$1\ L : 0.26\ gal = x\ L:12500\ gal$

$\frac{1\ L}{0.26\ gal} =\frac{x\ L}{12500\ gal}$

<em>On solving :</em>

$x=12500(\frac{1}{0.26})\ L$

Therefore, the proportion <u>1 L : 0.26 gal = x L : 12500 gal</u>.

An elliptical culvert is 3.5 feet tall and 6 feet wide. It is filled with water to a depth of 0.95 feet. Find the width of the s

maks197457 [2]

Answer:

$W_s \approx5.3$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

Height $H=3.5ft$

Weight $W= 6ft$

Depth $D=0.95ft$

Generally the equation for ellipses is given as

$\frac{x^2}{a^2} +\frac{y^2}{b^2} =1$

Where

$b=H/2\\b=3.5/2\\Therefore\\b=1.75\\a=W/2\\a=6/2\\Therefore\\a=3\\$

$\frac{x^2}{3^2} +\frac{y^2}{1.75^2} =1$

Generally to find y in the equation $\frac{x^2}{a^2} +\frac{y^2}{b^2} =1$

$y=-b+d$

$y=-1.75+0.95$

$y=-0.8$

Therefore

$\frac{x^2}{3^2} +\frac{(0.8)^2}{1.75^2} =1$

$\frac{x^2}{3^2} =1-\frac{(0.8)^2}{1.75^2}$

$\frac{x^2}{3^2} =1-0.2089795918$

$X^2 =3^2(1-0.2089795918)$

$X^2 =7.119183674$

$X =\sqrt{7.119183674}$

$X =2.66817984$

Therefore the width of the given stream is

$W_s=2.66817984*2$

$W_s=5.33635968$

$W_s \approx5.3$

3y^2 + 3(4y^2 - 2) please help

Butoxors [25]

The roots of the quadratic equation 3y² + 3(4y² - 2) is ± √(1/7).

<h3>What is a quadratic equaton?</h3>

A quadratic equation is an algebraic expression in the form of variables and constants.

A quadratic equation has two roots as its degree is two.

Given, 3y² + 3(4y² - 2).

3y² + 12y² - 2.

14y² - 2.

Let 14y² - 2 = 0.

14y² = 2.

y² = (2/14).

y = ± √(2/14) Or ± √(2/2×7) Or ± √(1/7).
