PLZ HELP ASAP One pump fills a tank 4 times as fast as another pump. If the pumps work together, they fill the tank in 20 minut

es. How long does it take for the faster pump to fill the tank?

It takes the faster pump 12 minutes to fill the tank.

Since the faster truck can produce 60% more than the other truck. 60% of 20 minutes is 12.

Find the sum of the first 25 terms in this geometric series:<br> 8 + 6 + 4.5...

Ksivusya [100]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the geometric sequence

8 + 6 + 4.5...

A geometric sequence has a constant ratio and is defined by

$a_n=a_1\cdot r^{n-1}$

$\mathrm{Compute\:the\:ratios\:of\:all\:the\:adjacent\:terms}:\quad \:r=\frac{a_{n+1}}{a_n}$

$\frac{6}{8}=\frac{3}{4},\:\quad \frac{4.5}{6}=\frac{3}{4}$

$\mathrm{The\:ratio\:of\:all\:the\:adjacent\:terms\:is\:the\:same\:and\:equal\:to}$

$r=\frac{3}{4}$

$\mathrm{The\:first\:element\:of\:the\:sequence\:is}$

$a_1=8$

$\mathrm{Therefore,\:the\:}n\mathrm{th\:term\:is\:computed\:by}\:$

$a_n=8\left(\frac{3}{4}\right)^{n-1}$

$\mathrm{Geometric\:sequence\:sum\:formula:}$

$a_1\frac{1-r^n}{1-r}$

$\mathrm{Plug\:in\:the\:values:}$

$n=25,\:\spacea_1=8,\:\spacer=\frac{3}{4}$

$=8\cdot \frac{1-\left(\frac{3}{4}\right)^{25}}{1-\frac{3}{4}}$

$\mathrm{Multiply\:fractions}:\quad \:a\cdot \frac{b}{c}=\frac{a\:\cdot \:b}{c}$

$=\frac{\left(1-\left(\frac{3}{4}\right)^{25}\right)\cdot \:8}{1-\frac{3}{4}}$

$=\frac{8\left(-\left(\frac{3}{4}\right)^{25}+1\right)}{\frac{1}{4}}$

$\mathrm{Apply\:exponent\:rule}:\quad \left(\frac{a}{b}\right)^c=\frac{a^c}{b^c}$

$=\frac{8\left(-\frac{3^{25}}{4^{25}}+1\right)}{\frac{1}{4}}$

$\mathrm{Apply\:the\:fraction\:rule}:\quad \frac{a}{\frac{b}{c}}=\frac{a\cdot \:c}{b}$

$=\frac{\left(1-\frac{3^{25}}{4^{25}}\right)\cdot \:8\cdot \:4}{1}$

$\mathrm{Multiply\:the\:numbers:}\:8\cdot \:4=32$

$=\frac{32\left(-\frac{3^{25}}{4^{25}}+1\right)}{1}$

$=\frac{32\cdot \frac{4^{25}-3^{25}}{4^{25}}}{1}$ ∵ $\mathrm{Join}\:1-\frac{3^{25}}{4^{25}}:\quad \frac{4^{25}-3^{25}}{4^{25}}$

$=32\cdot \frac{4^{25}-3^{25}}{4^{25}}$

$=\frac{\left(4^{25}-3^{25}\right)\cdot \:32}{4^{25}}$

$=\frac{2^5\left(4^{25}-3^{25}\right)}{2^{50}}$ ∵ $\mathrm{Factor}\:32:\ 2^5$ , $\mathrm{Factor}\:4^{25}:\ 2^{50}$

so

$=\frac{4^{25}-3^{25}}{2^{45}}$ ∵ $\mathrm{Cancel\:}\frac{\left(4^{25}-3^{25}\right)\cdot \:2^5}{2^{50}}:\quad \frac{4^{25}-3^{25}}{2^{45}}$

$\mathrm{Apply\:the\:fraction\:rule}:\quad \frac{a\pm \:b}{c}=\frac{a}{c}\pm \frac{b}{c}$

$=\frac{4^{25}}{2^{45}}-\frac{3^{25}}{2^{45}}$

$=32-\frac{3^{25}}{2^{45}}$ ∵ $\frac{4^{25}}{2^{45}}=32$

$=32-0.024$ ∵ $\frac{3^{25}}{2^{45}}=0.024$

$=31.98$

Therefore, the sum of the first 25 terms in this geometric series: 31.98

The speed of boat in still water is 15km/hr if needs 4 more his to travel 63 km against the current of a river than it needs to

hram777 [196]

Answer:

$\frac{63}{15 - c} - \frac{63}{15 + c} = 4$

Step-by-step explanation:

The systems of equations are

Let us assume the rate of the current be c

Now actual speed against the current is (15 - c)

And, the actual speed with the current is (15 + c)

Here we applied the time formula i.e. distance by speed

Also the upstream time - downstream time = 4

Now the equations are

$\frac{63}{15 - c} - \frac{63}{15 + c} = 4$

You have read 4 of the books shown. Which choice shows 2 ways of writing the fraction of these books that you read?

Olegator [25]

Total books read: 4

Total books in list: 12

So it can be shown as:

$\sf \dfrac{read \ books}{total \ books \ in \ list}$

$\hookrightarrow \sf \dfrac{4}{12}$

on simplifying

$\hookrightarrow \sf \dfrac{1}{3}$

So, option 1 is correct.

Consider a value to be significantly low if its z score less than or equal to minus−2 or consider a value to be significantly hi

ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

If the weight is higher than 5.8886 gr would be considered significantly high

If the weight is lower than 5.6121 gr would be considered significantly low

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".

Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable that represent the weights of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

$X \sim N(5.75241,0.06281)$

Where $\mu=5.75241$ and $\sigma=0.06281$

And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:

$z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}$

For the case when z =-2 we can do this:

$-2 = \frac{X-5.75241}{0.06281}$

And if we solve for X we got:

$X = 5.75241 -2*0.06281 =5.6121$

And for the other case when Z=2 we have:

$2 = \frac{X-5.75241}{0.06281}$

And if we solve for X we got:

$X = 5.75241 +2*0.06281 =5.8886$

If the weight is higher than 5.8886 gr would be considered significantly high

If the weight is lower than 5.6121 gr would be considered significantly low
