When three pipes fill a pool, they can finish in 12 hours. Two of the pipes can finish in 18 hours if they are working together.

How long would it take a third pipe to fill the pool on its own?

The number of pipes * the time is a constant proportional to the pool size.

3*12 = 2*18 = 1*36. So one pipe would take 36 hours.

What is the average velocity between 12.00 and 15.00 seconds

bekas [8.4K]

The average between 12.00 and 15.00 seconds
can be defined in a few different ways.

Way #1: (speed)

   Average speed =
   (1/2) (the speed at 12 seconds + the speed at 15 seconds) .

Way #2: (speed)

   Average speed =
   (1/3) (the distance covered between 12.00 and 15.00 seconds)

Way #3: (velocity)

   Average velocity =
   (1/3) (distance between location at 12 sec and location at 15 sec)
   in the direction from location at 12 sec to location at 15 sec.

That's the best we can do with the combination of given and
not given information in the question.

Marat540 [252]

Answer:

x = 36

Step-by-step explanation:

Complementary angles add to 90 degrees

54+x = 90

x = 90-54

x = 36

What is the asymptote for the graph of this logarithmic function?<br><br> f(x) = log3(x – 1)

Pepsi [2]

Answer:

Vertical Asymptote:

$x=1$

Horizontal asymptote:

it does not exist

Step-by-step explanation:

we are given

$f(x)=log_3(x-1)$

Vertical asymptote:

we know that vertical asymptotes are values of x where f(x) becomes +inf or -inf

we know that any log becomes -inf when value inside log is zero

so, we can set value inside log to zero

and then we can solve for x

$x-1=0$

we get

$x=1$

Horizontal asymptote:

we know that

horizontal asymptote is a value of y when x is +inf or -inf

For finding horizontal asymptote , we find lim x-->inf or -inf

$\lim_{x \to \infty} f(x)= \lim_{x \to \infty}log_3(x-1)$

$\lim_{x \to \infty} f(x)=log_3(\infty-1)$

$\lim_{x \to \infty} f(x)=undefined$

so, it does not exist
