A well mixed tank with a capacity of 1500 gals originally contains 1000 gallons of freshwater. One pipe containing 1/2 lb of sal

t per gallon is entering at a rate of 4 gal/min. The second pipe containing 1/3 lb of salt per gallon is entering at a rate of 6 gal/min. The mixture is allowed to flow out of the tank at a rate of 5 gal/min. Find the amount of salt in the tank at any time prior to the instant when the solution begins to overflow.

Answer:

400 lb of salt

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume the water flows into the rank for x minutes.

There is an initial of 1000 gallons of water in the tank and water flows in through one pipe at 4 gal/min and through another pipe at 6 gal/min. In x minute, the amount of water in the tank = 1000 + 4x + 6x = 1000 + 10x

Water flows out at 5 gal/min, therefore in x minute the amount of water in the tank = 1000 + 10x - 5x = 1000 + 5x

The tank begins to overflow when it is full (has reached 1500 gallons). Therefore:

1500 = 1000 + 5x

5x = 1500 - 1000

5x = 500

x = 100 minutes.

1/2 lb salt per gallon flows into the tank at 4 gal/min and 1/3 lb of salt is flowing in at 6 gal/min, in 100 min the amount of salt that entered the tank = 4 gal/min × 100 min × 1/2 lb/gal + 6 gal/min × 100 min × 1/3 lb/gal= 400 lb

Therefore the amount of salt is in the tank when it is about to overflow = 400 lb of salt

Using y=mx+b find the slope for<br> 7) 8x + 3y = −9
malfutka [58]

Answer:

-8/3

Step-by-step explanation:

8x + 3y = - 9

Let's make y the subject of the formula.

y = - 9/3 - 8x/3

Rearrange

y = - 8x/3 - 3

The slope is the coefficient of x which is - 8/3

Your boss tells you that she knows the length of the widgets your company makes is normally distributed with a mean of 25 inches
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

Mean of sampling distribution = 25 inches

Standard deviation of sampling distribution = 4 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Mean, μ = 25 inches

Standard Deviation, σ = 12 inches

Sample size, n = 9

We are given that the distribution of length of the widgets is a bell shaped distribution that is a normal distribution.

a) Mean of the sampling distribution

The best approximator for the mean of the sampling distribution is the population mean itself.

Thus, we can write:

\bar{x} = \mu = 25\text{ inches}

b) Standard deviation of the sampling distribution

s = \dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} = \dfrac{12}{\sqrt{9}} = 4\text{ inches}

Write the equation of the line that passes through the points (2,−8) and (1,7). Put your answer in fully reduced point-slope for
ValentinkaMS [17]

Point-slope form of equation is: y - 7 = -15(x-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given points are:

(2,-8) and (1,7)

First of all we have to calculate the slope of the line

so,

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\\= \frac{7-(-8)}{1-2}\\=\frac{7+8}{-1}\\=\frac{15}{-1}\\= -15

Point-slope form is given by:

y-y_1 = m(x-x_1)

Putting the value of slope

y-y_1 = -15(x-x_1)

We can put any one of two given points in the equation to find the final form of point-slope form

So

Putting (1,7) in the equation

y - 7 = -15(x-1)

Hence, point-slope form of equation is: y - 7 = -15(x-1)

Reducing and simplifying

y - 7 = -15(x-1)\\y-7 = -15x+15\\y-7+7 =-15x+15-7\\y = -15x+8\\15x+y = 8
