Answer:

About 21.457 years

Step-by-step explanation:

You can solve this by setting up a simple equation.

$5000\cdot 1.04^x \geq 11600$

$1.04^x \geq 2.32$

log base 1.04 2.32=x

$x\approx 21.457$ years

Hope this helps!

Pumps A, B, and C operate at their respective constant rates. Pumps A and B, operating simultaneously, can fill a certain tank i

jeka94

Let $a,b,c$ be the time it takes for pumps A, B, and C (respectively) to fill 1 tank. Then

$\begin{cases}\dfrac1a+\dfrac1b=\dfrac1{\frac65}=\dfrac56\\\\\dfrac1a+\dfrac1c=\dfrac1{\frac32}=\dfrac23\\\\\dfrac1b+\dfrac1c=\dfrac12\end{cases}$

Now,

$\left(\dfrac1a+\dfrac1b\right)-\left(\dfrac1a+\dfrac1c\right)=\dfrac56-\dfrac23\implies\dfrac1b-\dfrac1c=\dfrac16$

Then

$\left(\dfrac1b+\dfrac1c\right)+\left(\dfrac1b-\dfrac1c\right)=\dfrac12+\dfrac16\implies\dfrac2b=\dfrac23\implies b=3$

This means

$\dfrac1a+\dfrac13=\dfrac56\implies\dfrac1a=\dfrac12\implies a=2$

and

$\dfrac13+\dfrac1c=\dfrac12\implies\dfrac1c=\dfrac16\implies c=6$

Working together, all 3 pumps would operate at a rate of

$\dfrac1a+\dfrac1b+\dfrac1c=1$

or 1 tank in 1 hour, so the answer is D.

Por la seguridad de su personal y sus clientes una agencia bancaria se instalara una camara de video en un soporte de pared de m

yulyashka [42]

Answer:

16.24°

Step-by-step explanation:

Are you trying to find the angle of depression from the camera to the cashier?

Assume that the camera is 2.24 m high and the cashier is 7.69 m away.

1. Angle of elevation from cashier

tanθ = 2.24/7.69 = 0.2913

θ = arctan(0.2913) = 16.24°

2. Angle of depression from camera

∠ of depression = ∠ of elevation = 16.24°

How do I do this its systems of equations

VLD [36.1K]

Let x the subject of the equation in x-2y=-10 this make it x=2y-10 substitute this in the first equation. 3(2y-10)-2y=-6 solve for y, y=6. substitute y in any of the original equations to get x x= 2

Which expression is equal to the polynomial below? 2x4 + 5x3 – 8x – 20 x3(2x + 5) + 4(2x – 5) x3(2x + 5) – 4(2x + 5) x3(2x – 5)

Agata [3.3K]

When you group pairs of terms and factor each group, you get
x³(2x + 5) – 4(2x + 5)
