Answer:

4 Hr.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Your pump alone can empties the water in = 8 hrs

With the help of friend pump it take = 2.67 hr

time taken by friends to empty the whole tank = t = ?

We have,

\dfrac{1}{8}+\dfrac{1}{t}= \dfrac{1}{2.67}

\dfrac{1}{t}= \dfrac{1}{2.67}-\dfrac{1}{8}

\dfrac{1}{t}=0.2499

t = \dfrac{1}{0.2499}

t = 4\ hrs

Time taken to empty the tank by the friends pump alone is equal to 4 Hr.

A ball is thrown upward from the top of a 40 foot high building at a speed of 80 feet per second. The ball's height above
tekilochka [14]

it takes 5 seconds to reach a height of 40 ft. and It takes 2.5 seconds to reach maximum height.

Let h(t) represent the height of the ball at time t.

Given that the height is given by:

h(t) = -16t² + 80t + 40

1) For the ball to reach a height 0f 40 ft, h(t) = 40, hence:

40 = -16t² + 80t + 40

16t² - 80t = 0

t(t - 5) = 0

t = 0 or t = 5

Hence it takes 5 seconds to reach a height of 40 ft.

2) The maximum height is at h'(t) = 0,

h'(t) = -32t + 80

-32t + 80 = 0

32t = 80

t = 2.5

It takes 2.5 seconds to reach maximum height.

9 1/2 divided by 3 7/10
OleMash [197]

Solution:

<u>Convert the fractions into improper fractions and solve.</u>

  • 9 1/2 ÷ 3 7/10
  • => 19/2 ÷ 37/10
  • => 19/2 x 10/37
  • => 19 x 5/37
  • => 95/37

<u>Convert the fraction into mixed fraction (Not required):</u>

  • => 95/37 = 37/37 + 37/37 + 21/37
  • => 1 + 1 + 21/37
  • => 2 + 21/37
  • => 2 21/37

The solution to the problem is 2 21/37.

Solve the equation on the interval [0, 2pi): 12cos^2 x-9=0<br><br><br> What to do?
siniylev [52]

Answer:

\large\boxed{x=\dfrac{\pi}{6}\ \vee\ x=\dfrac{5\pi}{6}\ \vee\ x=\dfrac{7\pi}{6}\ \vee\ x=\dfrac{11\pi}{6}}

Step-by-step explanation:

12\cos^2x-9=0\qquad\text{add 9 to both sides}\\\\12\cos^2x=9\qquad\text{divide both sides by 12}\\\\\cos^2x=\dfrac{9}{12}\\\\\cos^2x=\dfrac{9:3}{12:3}\\\\\cos^2x=\dfrac{3}{4}\to\cos x=\pm\sqrt{\dfrac{3}{4}}\\\\\cos x=\pm\dfrac{\sqrt3}{2}\\\\\text{Look at the picture}\\\\x=\dfrac{\pi}{6}\ \vee\ x=\dfrac{5\pi}{6}\ \vee\ x=\dfrac{7\pi}{6}\ \vee\ x=\dfrac{11\pi}{6}

[50 pts] An even number, n, times the next consecutive number, n + 2, is equal to 168. Find the original number.
ale4655 [162]

<u>We are given:</u>

An even number 'n', multiplied by the next consecutive even number is 168

<u>Solving for n:</u>

From the given statement, we can say that:

n(n+2) = 168                      [<em>n multiplied by the next even number 'n+2'</em>]

n² + 2n = 168

n² + 2n - 168 = 0               [<em>subtracting 168 from both sides</em>]

We can see that we now have a quadratic equation, solving using splitting the middle term

n² + 14n - 12n - 168 = 0

n(n + 14) -12(n + 14) = 0      <em>[factoring out common terms</em>]

(n-12)(n+14) = 0

Here, we can divide both sides by either (n-12) OR (n+14)

Checking the result in both the cases:

(n + 14) = 0/(n-12)                     (n-12) = 0/(n+14)

n + 14 = 0                                 n - 12 = 0

n = -14                                      n = 12

Both these values are even and since we are not told if the number 'n' is positive or negative, both 12 and -14 are the possible values of n
