Answer:

The Length of swimming pool is 8.35 feet

The width of swimming pool is 5.35 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The length of swimming pool is 3 feet longer that its width

Let The width of swimming pool = w  feet

So, The Length of swimming pool = L = (w + 3) feet

Now, The swimming pool is surrounded by deck of 2 feet wide

The width of deck = w' = w + 2 + 2 = (w + 4) feet

The area of deck = 116 feet²

The length of deck = L' = L + 2 + 2 = (L + 4) feet

So, L' = (w + 3 + 4) feet

I.e L' = (w + 7) feet

∵ The area of deck = 116 feet²

So , L' × w' = 116 feet²

(w + 7)× (w + 4) = 116

Or, w² + 4 w + 7 w + 28 = 116

Or, w² + 11 w - 88 = 0

Solving the quadratic equation as

ax² + bx + c = 0

So, w = \dfrac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^{2}-4\times a\times c}}{2\times a}

Or, w = \dfrac{-11\pm \sqrt{11^{2}-4\times 1\times (-88)}}{2\times 1}

Or, w = \dfrac{-11\pm \sqrt{473}}{2}

or, w = \dfrac{-11\pm 21.7}{2}

or, w = 5.35 , -16.35

The width of swimming pool = w = 5.35 feet

The Length of swimming pool = L = (5.35 + 3) feet = 8.35 feet

Hence, The Length of swimming pool is 8.35 feet

And The width of swimming pool is 5.35 feet

Blood is a buffer solution. When carbon dioxide is absorbed into the bloodstream, it produces carbonic acid and lowers the pH. T
Irina18 [472]

Answer:

x ≅ 20.10 torr

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the equation which models blood pH in the question is;

pH(x)=6.1+log(800/x)

where;

pH = 7.7

x = partial pressure of carbon dioxide in arterial blood, measured in torr.

we are asked to find (x)

In order to do that, we use the given equation:

pH(x)=6.1+log(800/x)

since pH = 7.7

7.7 = 6.1 + log (800/x)

7.7 - 6.1 =  log (800/x)

1.6 =  log (800/x)

10^{1.6}= \frac{800}{x}

x= \frac{800}{10^{1.6}}

x = 20.09509145

x ≅ 20.10 torr
