Answer:

75 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call the volume of the pool by V.

If the larger hose takes 50 minutes to fill the pool, the amount of water this hose fills is V/50

Let's call the amount of time the small hole takes to fill the pool on its own by T, so its speed is V/T

The two holes together fill the pool in 30 minutes, so their speed summed is V/30:

V/50 + V/T = V/30

Dividing the equation by V, we have:

1/50 + 1/T = 1/30

(3T + 150)/150T = 5T/150T

3T + 150 = 5T

2T = 150

T = 75 minutes

Answer:

75 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are asked to calculate the time it will take a smaller hose out of two hoses to fill a swimming pool by itself.

Firstly, let’s say the volume of the swimming pool to fill is Xm^3.

Hence for both, the rate of filling is x/30 m^3/minutes. For the larger hose, rate will be x/50 m^3/minutes. For the larger hose, let the time taken be z minutes. It’s rate will be x/z m^3/minute.

Mathematically, adding both rates together give the rate of both at the same time. This means;

X/30 = x/50 + x/z

X/z = x/30 - c/50

x/z = 20/1500

x/z = 1/75

z = x/75

This means the time that it will take the smaller hose will be 75 minutes

A relation is a function if it has only One y-value for each x-value. Functions f(2/3)=2/9 for f(x)=2x²-4x+2 and f(1/4)==-21/4 for  f(x)=4x²+2x-6

<h3>What is a function?</h3>

A relation is a function if it has only One y-value for each x-value.

The given function is

f(x)=2x²-4x+2

Put x=2/3

f(2/3)=2(2/3)²-4(2/3)+2

=2(4/9)-8/3+2

=8/9-8/3+2

=(8-24+18)/9

f(2/3)=2/9

Now f(x)=4x²+2x-6

Put x=1/4

f(1/4)=4(1/4)²+2(1/4)-6

=4/16+2/4-6

=1/4+1/2-6

= 1+2-24/4

f(1/4)==-21/4

Hence functions f(2/3)=2/9 for f(x)=2x²-4x+2 and f(1/4)==-21/4 for  f(x)=4x²+2x-6

Using the quadratic formula to solve x? + 20 = 2x, what are the values of x?
Sergio [31]
I am not sure if the “+” was supposed to go there or if that was just a typo, so I do apologize if this is wrong... but if it doesn’t belong in the equation at all, 20 = 2X is a fairly simply multiplication problem. You are to divide both sides by the 2 and you should get X = 10, because 2 goes into 20, 10 times; and the 2 goes into 2 only once, therefore the 2 now gets cancelled out.

Answer: 20 divided by 2 = 2x divided by 2 is now 10 = X.

Really hope this helps you, have a good day :)
