is open while the tank is being filled, how long does it take to fill the tank?

Answer:

It take 37.5 hours to fill the tank

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Time Taken to fill the tank  =  15 hours

Time Taken to empty the tank = 25 hours

To Find:

Time taken to fill the tank when both the inlet and outlet is opened at the same time  = ?

Solution:

Let the time to fill the tank be x

In 15 hours the tap fills the tank

Rate at which the tank is filled  = \frac{1}{15}

In 25 hours the tap empties the tank

Rate at which the tank is drained = \frac{1}{25}

The net gain per minute on the total filling rate  is

=> \frac{1}{x} = Rate at which the tank is filled - Rate at which the tank is drained

=>\frac{1}{x} = \frac{1}{15} - \frac{1}{25}

=>\frac{1}{x} = \frac{25-15}{15 \times 25}

=>\frac{1}{x} = \frac{10}{375}

=> 10x  = 375

=>x = \frac{375}{10}

=>x = 37.5

What binomial do you have to add to the polynomial 2x^2+3y^2-5xy+1 to get the following?
Contact [7]

Binomial -3y^{2}+5xy when added to polynomial 2x^{2} +3y^{2} -5xy+1  gives  polynomial  that does not contain the variable y .

<h3>What is binomial?</h3>

A mathematical expression consisting of two terms connected by a plus sign or minus sign .

Example: x + 2 is a binomial, where x and 2 are two separate terms.

<h3>What is polynomial?</h3>

A polynomial is an expression consisting of indeterminates and coefficients, that involves only the operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and non-negative integer

According to the question

polynomial 2x^{2} +3y^{2} -5xy+1

when added with  -3y^{2}+5xy  

= 2x^{2}+1   (as 3y^{2} -5xy got cancelled )

that does not contain the variable y

Hence, Binomial -3y^{2}+5xy when added to polynomial 2x^{2} +3y^{2} -5xy+1  gives that does not contain the variable y .

Write the polynomial f(x)=x^4-10x^3+25x^2-40x+84. In factored form
Verizon [17]
<h2>Steps:</h2>

So firstly, to factor this we need to first find the potential roots of this polynomial. To find it, the equation is \pm \frac{p}{q}, with p = the factors of the constant and q = the factors of the leading coefficient. In this case:

\textsf{leading coefficient = 1, constant = 84}\\\\p=1,2,3,4,6,7,12,14,21,28,42,84\\q=1\\\\\pm \frac{1,2,3,4,6,7,12,14,21,28,42,84}{1}\\\\\textsf{Potential roots =}\pm 1, \pm 2,\pm 3,\pm 4,\pm 6, \pm 7,\pm 12,\pm 14,\pm 21,\pm 28,\pm 42,\pm 84

Next, plug in the potential roots into x of the equation until one of them ends with a result of 0:

f(1)=(1)^4-10(1)^3+25(1)^2-40(1)+84\\f(1)=1-10+25-40+84\\f(1)=60\ \textsf{Not a root}\\\\f(2)=2^4-10(2)^3+25(2)^2-40(2)+84\\f(2)=16-10*8+25*4-80+84\\f(2)=16-80+100-80+84\\f(2)=80\ \textsf{Not a root}\\\\f(3)=3^4-10(3)^3+25(3)^2-40(3)+84\\f(3)=81-10*27+25*9-120+84\\f(3)=81-270+225-120+84\\f(3)=0\ \textsf{Is a root}

Since we know that 3 is a root, this means that one of the factors is (x - 3). Now that we know one of the roots, we are going to use synthetic division to divide the polynomial. To set it up, place the root of the divisor, in this case 3 from x - 3, on the left side and the coefficients of the original polynomial on the right side as such:

  • 3 | 1 - 10 + 25 - 40 + 84
  • _________________

Firstly, drop the 1:

  • 3 | 1 - 10 + 25 - 40 + 84
  •     ↓
  • _________________
  •     1

Next, multiply 3 and 1, then add the product with -10:

  • 3 | 1 - 10 + 25 - 40 + 84
  •     ↓ + 3
  • _________________
  •     1  - 7

Next, multiply 3 and -7, then add the product with 25:

  • 3 | 1 - 10 + 25 - 40 + 84
  •     ↓ + 3  - 21
  • _________________
  •     1  - 7 + 4

Next, multiply 3 and 4, then add the product with -40:

  • 3 | 1 - 10 + 25 - 40 + 84
  •     ↓ + 3  - 21 + 12
  • _________________
  •     1  - 7  +  4  - 28

Lastly, multiply -28 and 3, then add the product with 84:

  • 3 | 1 - 10 + 25 - 40 + 84
  •     ↓ + 3  - 21 + 12  - 84
  • _________________
  •     1  - 7  +  4  - 28 + 0

Now our synthetic division is complete. Now since the degree of the original polynomial is 4, this means our quotient has a degree of 3 and follows the format ax^3+bx^2+cx+d . In this case, our quotient is x^3-7x^2+4x-28 .

So right now, our equation looks like this:

f(x)=(x-3)(x^3-7x^2+4x-28)

However, our second factor can be further simplified. For the second factor, I will be factoring by grouping. So factor x³ - 7x² and 4x - 28 separately. Make sure that they have the same quantity inside the parentheses:

f(x)=(x-3)(x^2(x-7)+4(x-7))

Now it can be rewritten as:

f(x)=(x-3)(x^2+4)(x-7)

<h2>Answer:</h2>

Since the polynomial cannot be further simplified, your answer is:

f(x)=(x-3)(x^2+4)(x-7)
