Step-by-step explanation: Given that after adding 4,000 gallons of water to a large tank that was already filled to $\dfrac{3}{4}$ of its capacity, the tank was then at $\drac{4}{5}$ of its capacity.

We are to find the number of gallons of water that the tank hold when filled to capacity.

Let the tank can hold x gallons of water when filled to capacity.

Then, according to the given information, we have

$\dfrac{3}{4}x+4000=\dfrac{4}{5}x\\\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{4}{5}x-\dfrac{3}{4}x=4000\\\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{16-15}{20}x=4000\\\\\Rightarrow x=4000\times20\\\\\Rightarrow x=80000.$

Thus, the required capacity of the tank is 80,000 gallons of water.

Option (E) is CORRECT.

One rectangle has a base of 12 inches and an altitude of 6 inches. The other has a base of 10 inches and an altitude of 5 inches

guajiro [1.7K]

Ratio of their bases = $$\frac{12}{10}$

Ratio of their altitudes = $$\frac{6}{5}$

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

For first rectangle, it was given that

Base 1 = 12 inches

Altitude 1 = 6 inches

For the second rectangle, it was given that

Base 2 = 10 inches

Altitude 2 = 5 inches

Ratio of their bases is given by the ratio of the base of the first rectangle to the second one.

Ratio of their altitudes is given by the ratio of the altitude of the first rectangle to the altitude of the second rectangle.

Ratio of their bases = $$\frac{12}{10}$

Ratio of their altitudes = $$\frac{6}{5}$

The path of a football kicked by a field goal kicker can be modeled by the equation y = –0.03x2 + 1.53x, where x is the horizont

netineya [11]

This is the equation of an upside down parabola, so the maximum height will be at the vertex. To find the vertex, we'll use the formula for the x-coordinate and then solve for the y-coordinate.
$x=\frac{-1.53}{2*-.03}=25.5$

Plugging this into the given formula:
$y=-0.03(25.5)^2+1.53(25.5)=19.5075$
Since it asks us to round, the maximum height would be 20 yards. To find how far the football travels in total, we need to set the equation equal to 0 and find the roots:
$0=-0.03x^2+1.53x=x(-0.03x+1.53)$

Then by the zero product property (or the no zero divisors rule), we have:
$x=0$ (this is the x value where the ball is kicked from)
$-0.03x+1.53=0$
$-0.03x=-1.53$
$x=51$

So the ball travels 51 yards in total.
