Answer:

d = 13.8 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Because we are talking about cubic feet of water, we need the formula for the VOLUME of a cylinder. That formula is

$V=\pi r^2h$

We will use 3.141592654 for pi; if the tank HALF filled with water is at 20 feet, then the height of the tank is 40 feet, so h = 40; and the volume it can hold in total is 6000 cubic feet. Filling in then gives us:

$6000=(3.141592654)(r^2)(40)$

Simplify on the right to get

$6000=125.6637061r^2$

Divide both sides by 125.6637061 to get that

$r^2=47.74648294$

Taking the square root of both sides gives you

r = 6.90988299

But the diameter is twice the radius, so multiply that r value by 2 to get that the diameter to the nearest tenth of a foot is 13.8

Jack broke apart 5x216 as (5x200)+(5x16) to multiply mentally. What strategy did Jack use?

Sveta_85 [38]

For this case we have the following multiplication:

$5 * 216$

We can rewrite this multiplication in the following way:

$5 * (200 + 16)$

From here, we apply the distributive property.

We have then:

$(5 * 200) + (5 * 16)$

Therefore, Jack's strategy is:

Write the number in an expanded form and then apply the distributive property.

Answer:

Jack's strategy is:

Write the number in an expanded form and then apply the distributive property.

Determine the equilibrium solutions

We have:

$\frac{dR}{dt} = 0.09R(1 - 0.00025R) - 0.001RW$

$\frac{dW}{dt} = -0.02W + 0.00004RW$

To solve this, we first equate $\frac{dR}{dt}$ and $\frac{dW}{dt}$ to 0.

So, we have:

$0.09R(1 - 0.00025R) - 0.001RW = 0$

$-0.02W + 0.00004RW = 0$

Factor out R in $0.09R(1 - 0.00025R) - 0.001RW = 0$

$R(0.09(1 - 0.00025R) - 0.001W) = 0$

Split

$R = 0$ or $0.09(1 - 0.00025R) - 0.001W = 0$

$R = 0$ or $0.09 - 2.25 * 10^{-5}R - 0.001W = 0$

Factor out W in $-0.02W + 0.00004RW = 0$

$W(-0.02 + 0.00004R) = 0$

Split

$W = 0$ or $-0.02 + 0.00004R = 0$

Solve for R

$-0.02 + 0.00004R = 0$

$0.00004R = 0.02$

Make R the subject

$R = \frac{0.02}{0.00004}$

$R = 500$

When $R = 500$ , we have:

$0.09 - 2.25 * 10^{-5}R - 0.001W = 0$

$0.09 -2.25 * 10^{-5} * 500 - 0.001W = 0$

$0.09 -0.01125 - 0.001W = 0$

$0.07875 - 0.001W = 0$

Collect like terms

$- 0.001W = -0.07875$

Solve for W

$W = \frac{-0.07875}{ - 0.001}$

$W = 78.75$

$W \approx 79$

$(R,W) \to (500,79)$

When $W = 0$ , we have:

$0.09 - 2.25 * 10^{-5}R - 0.001W = 0$

$0.09 - 2.25 * 10^{-5}R - 0.001*0 = 0$

$0.09 - 2.25 * 10^{-5}R = 0$

Collect like terms

$- 2.25 * 10^{-5}R = -0.09$

Solve for R

$R = \frac{-0.09}{- 2.25 * 10^{-5}}$

$R = 4000$

So, we have:

$(R,W) \to (4000,0)$

When $R =0$ , we have:

$-0.02W + 0.00004RW = 0$

$-0.02W + 0.00004W*0 = 0$

$-0.02W + 0 = 0$

$-0.02W = 0$

$W=0$

So, we have:

$(R,W) \to (0,0)$

Hence, the points of equilibrium are:

$(0,0)$ $(4000,0)$ and $(500,79)$
