A large aquarium of water is being filled with a hose. Due to a problem, the sensor does not start working until some time into

the filling process. The sensor starts its recording at the time zero minutes. The sensor initially detects the tank has 225 liters of water in it. The hose fills the aquarium at a constant rate of 15 liters per minute. What will the sensor read at the time 5 minutes? Later, someone wants to use the data to find the amount of water at times before the sensor started. What should the sensor have read at the time -7 minutes?

Answer: The sensor will read 300 liters after 5 minutes.

The sensor sensor should have read 120 liters at time -7 minutes.


Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The amount of water detected by sensor initially= 225 litres

Since, the hose fills the aquarium at a constant rate of 15 liters per minute.

Let x be the time , and y be reading of sensor then

y=225+15x

Therefore, the sensor reads after 5 minutes (put x=5 in the equation)= 225+5(15)=300\ liters

To find the sensor read at time -7 minutes put x=-7 in the equation, we get

y=225+15(-7)=225-105=120

Hence, the sensor should have read 120 liters at time -7 minutes.

QUESTION 4 of 10: Your average weekly take home wage is $615. You take a one-week paid vacation and a second week unpaid vacati
Anastasy [175]

Answer:

$45

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we need to calculate the income of this year.

We know that a year has 52 weeks. And, our payed weeks are 51, they are, the 50 weeks we work plus the one week of paid-vacation. The remaining week does not give us income, as is unpaid. So our total year income is:

51 * $615 = $31,365

So, our surplus will be our income minus our expenses:

Surplus = $31,365 - $31,320 = $45

Our cash surplus is $45
