A drainage basin bordering the sea has an area of 7500 km2 . The average precipitation for this drainage basin is 900 mm year-1

. The average surface water flow at the outlet of the drainage basin equals 22.5 × 108 m3 year-1 . The average groundwater flow to the sea is 100 mm year-1 . The averages are determined for 30 hydrological years.
a. Draw up the water balance.


b. Determine the average actual evaporation in mm year-1 and m3 year-1

Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

The basic water balance dictates that "Amount of water flowing into the basin should be equal to the amount of water flowing out of it".

Mathematically

Water_{in}=Water_{out}\\\\P=E+Q+I

where

P = precipitation

I = Infiltration losses in the basin

E = Evapotranspiration

Q = is outflow from the basin

Applying the given values we get

900=E+\frac{22.5\times 10^{8}}{7500\times 10^{6}}\times 1000+100\\\\900=E+300+100

Part b)

From the above equation we get

E=900-400=500mm/year

The evaporation in cubic meters per year is

E'=0.5\times 7500\times 10^{6}=3750\times 10^{6}m^3/year

Graph f(x)=2x+1 and g(x)=−x+7 on the same coordinate plane.
Tamiku [17]

Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the equation, you need to set both functions equal to each other and simplify to find the value of "x".

f(x) = 2x + 1

g(x) = -x + 7

f(x) = g(x)                                              <----- Given equation

2x + 1 = -x + 7                                      <----- Insert functions

3x + 1 = 7                                             <----- Add "x" to both sides

3x = 6                                                  <----- Subtract 1 from both sides

x = 2                                                    <----- Divide both sides by 3

A company has determined that its weekly profit is a function of the number of items that it sells. Which equation could represe
Mrac [35]

Answer:

B. y= -x^2+50x-300

Step-by-step explanation:

A. y^2=4x^2-100

B. y= -x^2+50x-300

C. x=-y^2-400

D. x^2=-6y^2+200

we are to find profits (y) when the company sells x items

Option A can be used to calculate the profit (y) squared

Option B can be used to calculate profits (y)

Option C can be used to calculate items sold(x)

Option D can be used to calculate items sold squared(x^2)

We are asked to find the weekly profit (y) function which eliminate options A, C and D leaving us with option B

Therefore, the weekly profits (y) function in thousands of dollars when the company sells x items is

B. y= -x^2+50x-300

Minchanka [31]
You have to draw a pie graph.

The first piece (with the straight angle) cuts the pie in half. 

The second piece cuts the remaining half in halves (making a quarter).

The third and fourth pieces are the same as each other. So they must each have an angle of 45 degrees. Each of these is an eighth of the total pie.

Should be fairly easy. Good luck!
