The Nguyen family and the Reed family each used their sprinklers last summer. The Nguyen family's sprinkler was used for 15 hour

s. The Reed family's sprinkler was used for 25 hours. There was a combined total output of 1175L of water. What was the water output rate for each sprinkler if the sum of the two rates was 55L per hour? Nguyenfamily'ssprinkler:Lperhour Reedfamily'ssprinkler:Lperhour

Answer:

  • Nguyen family's sprinkler: 20 L per hour
  • Reed family's sprinkler: 35 L per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Let n and r represent the output in liters per hour of the Nguyen and Reed family sprinklers, respectively. Then we have ...

  15n +25r = 1175 . . . . total sprinkler output

  n + r = 55 . . . . . . . . . sum of two output rates

The second equation tells us we can substitute n = 55 -r into the first equation:

  15(55 -r) +25r = 1175

  10r = 1175 -825 . . . . . . subtract 825

  r = 350/10 = 35 . . . . . . divide by 10

  n - 55 -35 = 20 . . . . . . find n from r

Nguyen family's sprinkler: 20 L per hour

Reed family's sprinkler: 35 L per hour

A homeowner is building a circular fire pit in his backyard. He plans to outline the pit with bricks and cover the space inside
saw5 [17]

Answer:

<em>1) the exact distance = 9.428571429 feet</em>

<em>the approximate distance = 9.4 feet</em>

<em></em>

<em>2) the exact area = 7.071428571 ft^2</em>

<em>the approximate area = 7 ft^2</em>

<em></em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Required diameter d = 3 feet

1) The distance around the outside of the pit is the circumference of the circle that will be formed by this circular fire pit.

circumference of a circle is given as = πd = \frac{22}{7} x 3 = 9.428571429 feet

the exact distance = 9.428571429 feet

the approximate distance = 9.4 feet

2) The area of the circle that will be formed = \pi d^{2}/4 = \frac{22 *3^{2} }{7*4} = 7.071428571 ft^2

the exact area = 7.071428571 ft^2

the approximate area = 7 ft^2

Please help me with this system of equations problem
LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

5x-2y=3

-3x+4y=1

5x-2y=-3x+4y+2

+2y

5x=-3x+6y+2

+3x

8x=6y+2

divide by 2

4x=3y+1

-3y+4x=1

wait so that means that -3x+4y=-3y+4x so that means that both x and y are equal so lets just say their the same

-3x+4x=1

x=1

y=1

Hope This Helps!!!

Verify the following identity and show steps<br><br> (Cos2 θ)/(1+sin2 θ)= (cot θ-1)/(cot θ+1)
Paul [167]

Answer:

Verified below

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to show that (Cos2θ)/(1 + sin2θ) = (cot θ - 1)/(cot θ + 1)

In trigonometric identities;

Cot θ = cos θ/sin θ

Thus;

(cot θ - 1)/(cot θ + 1) gives;

((cos θ/sin θ) - 1)/((cos θ/sin θ) + 1)

Simplifying numerator and denominator gives;

((cos θ - sin θ)/sin θ)/((cos θ + sin θ)/sin θ)

This reduces to;

>> (cos θ - sin θ)/(cos θ + sin θ)

Multiply top and bottom by ((cos θ + sin θ) to get;

>> (cos² θ - sin²θ)/(cos²θ + sin²θ + 2sinθcosθ)

In trigonometric identities, we know that;

cos 2θ = (cos² θ - sin²θ)

cos²θ + sin²θ = 1

sin 2θ = 2sinθcosθ

Thus;

(cos² θ - sin²θ)/(cos²θ + sin²θ + 2sinθcosθ) gives us:

>> cos 2θ/(1 + sin 2θ)

This is equal to the left hand side.

Thus, it is verified.
