Answer:

8 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount in the glass after m minutes can be described by ...

a = 4 + 3/2m

We want to find m when a=16, so ...

16 = 4 + 3/2m

12 = 3/2m . . . . . subtract 4

8 = m . . . . . . . . . multiply by 2/3

It will take 8 minutes to fill the glass.

What are the domain and range of f(x)=log(x-1)+2?

marta [7]

Answer: Domain = $(-1, \infty)$

Range = $(-\infty, \infty)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the given function,

$f(x) = log(x-1) + 2$

Since log( negative number ) = not defined

Also,

$log(0) = -\infty$

Hence, f(x) is defined if x - 1 > 0

⇒ x > 1

Thus, f(x) is defined for all the values that are greater than 1,

⇒ Domain of f(x) = All real number greater than 1,

= $(1, \infty)$

Now, for the interval $(1, \infty)$ ,

f(x) can be any real number.

Thus, the range of the given function = $(-\infty, \infty)$

The jug can hold 1500ml. The bucket can hold 2 litres. The barrel can hold 15 litres. Anisa wants to fill the barrel with water.

myrzilka [38]

Answer:

1. Using the jug 6 times and the bucket 3 times

2. Using the bucket 6 times, then using the jug two times

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, let’s remember that 1000 ml = 1l

Thus 2L = 2000 ml

And 15L = 15,000 ml

So the situation we are having now is that we want to fill a barrel of 15,000 ml using a jug of 1500 ml and a bucket with a capacity of 2000 ml

Firstly, the first way is using the bucket 6 times and the jug 2 times

What i mean by this is using the bucket 6 times bringing the total volume from the bucket as (6* 2000) = 12,000 ml

Then we are left with 15,000-12,000 = 3,000 ml

Now, she can fill the barrel with 2 times the full volume of the jug making 3,000

Secondly, she can also use the combination of both.

She can use the bucket 6 times and the jug 2 times

The total volume in each case here would be;

For the bucket; (2,000 * 6) = 12,000 ml

while for the jug, we have (1500 * 2) = 3,000 ml

And thus we shall be having a total of 12,000 + 3,000 = 15,000 ml this way

Andy, who loves to cook, makes apple cobbler for his family. The recipe (serves 6) calls for 5 3/4 pounds of apples, 6 3/4 cups

ch4aika [34]

Apples : 5 3/4 * 2 1/2 = 23/4 * 5/2 = 115/8 = 14 3/8 lbs

flour : 6 3/4 * 2 1/2 = 27/4 * 5/2 = 135/8 = 16 7/8 cups

margarine : 1/8 * 2 1/2 = 1/8 * 5/2 = 5/16 cups

sugar : 3 5/8 * 2 1/2 = 29/8 * 5/2 = 145/16 = 9 1/16 cups

cinnamon : 2 * 2 1/2 = 2/1 * 5/2 = 10/2 = 5 teaspoons
