Answer:

9 gallons of water per minute

Step-by-step explanation:

First identify what you know:

1) The pipe was flowing water for eight minutes.

2) In that eight minutes, 72 gallons of water came out.

So, if 72 gallons of water came out in eight minutes, how many gallons flowed out in a single minute? Well, assuming that the flow rate was consistent, then simply divide the total number of gallons that flowed out, by the number of minutes the pipe was open!

72/8 = 9

The pipe released 9 gallons of water per minute, thus resulting in 72 gallons of water in 8 minutes!

Hope this helps! :)

Find the angles between -pi and pi that satisfy:<br><br> (−√3) sin(v)+cos(v)=√3

MAXImum [283]

Observe that

$\sin\left(\dfrac\pi6-v\right)=\sin\dfrac\pi6\cos v-\cos\dfrac\pi6\sin v=\dfrac12\cos v-\dfrac{\sqrt3}2\sin v$

In the original equation, divide both sides by $\dfrac12$ :

$-\sqrt3\sin v+\cos v=\sqrt3\implies\dfrac12\cos v-\dfrac{\sqrt3}2\sin v=\dfrac{\sqrt3}2$

$\implies\sin\left(\dfrac\pi6-v\right)=\dfrac{\sqrt3}2$

Next,

$\sin x=\dfrac{\sqrt3}2\implies x=\dfrac\pi3+2n\pi,x=\dfrac{2\pi}3+2n\pi$

where $n$ is any integer. Then

$\sin\left(\dfrac\pi6-v\right)\implies v=-\dfrac\pi6-2n\pi,v=-\dfrac\pi2-2n\pi$

Fix $n=0$ to ensure $-\pi$ , so that

$v=-\dfrac\pi6,v=-\dfrac\pi2$

What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (3,-3) and has a slope of 0?

Blizzard [7]

Answer:

given us,

slope= 0

(x1y1)= (3,-3)

here

(y-y1) =m(x-x1)

or, (y+3)=0(x-3)

or (y+3)= x-3

or, x+y= -3-3

x+y= -6

Step-by-step explanation:

x+y= -6

Find the volume of a cylinder with a diameter of 10 inches and a height that is three times the radius. Use 3.14 for pi and roun

maxonik [38]

V = pi r^2 h
v = 3.14 * 5^2 * 15
v = 3.14 * 25 * 15
