Suppose the larger pump alone can empty the tank in L hours, and the smaller pump can finish the job in S hours, then each hour the large pump empties 1/L portion of the tank, and the small pump empties 1/S per hour
Working together for three hours, they empty the whole tank, which is 100% of it, so 3/L+3/S=100%=1
Larger pump can empty the tank in 4 hours less than the smaller one, so L=S-4
replace L: 3/(S-4)+3/S=1
Make the denominator the same to solve for:
3S/[S(S-4)] +3(S-4)/[S(S-4)]=1
(3S+3S-12)/[S(S-4)]=1
(3S+3S-12)=[S(S-4)]
S^2-10s+12=0
use the quadratic formula to solve for S
S is about 8.6
The answer is not whole hour.
Answer: B. Jonesville is growing linearly and Smithville is growing exponentially.
Step-by-step explanation:
Linear growth :
- Population grow by a constant amount after each time period.
- The rate of change of dependent variable with respect to independent variable is a constant.
- It is represented by line on graph.
- Equation for linear growth :
, c = initial value and m is the rate of change of y with respect to x.
Exponential growth :
- Population grow by a constant ratio .
- It is represented by a curve on graph.
- Equation for exponential growth :
, a = initial value and r is rate of growth ( in decimal ) and x is time period.
Given : Jonesville's population grows by 170 people per year.
i.e .Population grow by a constant amount per year.
⇒ Jonesville is growing linearly.
The population of smithville grows by 7% per year.
i.e. Population grow by a constant ratio.
⇒Smithville is growing exponentially.
Hence, the true statement is "B. Jonesville is growing linearly and Smithville is growing exponentially."
so you are going to use the Pythagorean theorem on the smaller triangle to find the connecting side's length

now you can find the bigger triangle's hypotenuse

c=4
Answer:
a) 3n^2 + 11n + 8
b) 350
Step-by-step explanation:
10) 3(10^2)+ 5*10 = 350
n+1) 3(n+1)^2 + 5(n+1)
3(n^2 + 2n + 1) + 5n+5
3n^2 + 6n+3 + 5n + 5
3n^2 + 11n + 8
