Given that the amount of time varies inversely with G.

It can be written as,

$T G=K$

where K is the constant.

We need to determine the time it takes to put out the fire when 200 gallons of water are used.

<u>The value of constant:</u>

When $G=8, T=12$ , we get;

$(12)(8)=K$

$96=K$

Thus, the value of constant is 96.

<u>Time taken:</u>

Substituting $G=2$ and $K=96$ in the formula $T G=K$ , we get;

$T(2)=96$

$T=48$

Thus, the time taken to put out the fire using 200 gallons of water is 48 minutes.

Hence, Option B is the correct answer.

Which expression is equivalent to (16 x Superscript 8 Baseline y Superscript negative 12 Baseline) Superscript one-half?.

loris [4]

To solve the problem we must know the Basic Rules of Exponentiation.

<h2>Basic Rules of Exponentiation</h2>

$x^ax^b = x^{(a+b)}$
$\dfrac{x^a}{x^b} = x^{(a-b)}$
$(a^a)^b =x^{(a\times b)}$
$(xy)^a = x^ay^a$

$x^{\frac{3}{4}} = \sqrt[4]{x^3}= (\sqrt[3]{x})^4$

The solution of the expression is $\dfrac{4x^4}{y^6}$ .

<h2>Explanation</h2>

Given to us

$(16x^8y^{12})^{\frac{1}{2}}$

Solution

We know that 16 can be reduced to $2^4$ ,

$=(2^4x^8y^{12})^{\frac{1}{2}}$

Using identity $(xy)^a = x^ay^a$ ,

$=(2^4)^{\frac{1}{2}}(x^8)^{\frac{1}{2}}(y^{12})^{\frac{1}{2}}$

Using identity $(a^a)^b =x^{(a\times b)}$ ,

$=(2^{4\times \frac{1}{2}})\ (x^{8\times\frac{1}{2}})\ (y^{12\times{\frac{1}{2}}})$

Solving further

$=2^2x^4y^{-6}$

Using identity $\dfrac{x^a}{x^b} = x^{(a-b)}$ ,

$=\dfrac{2^2x^4}{y^6}$

$=\dfrac{4x^4}{y^6}$

Hence, the solution of the expression is $\dfrac{4x^4}{y^6}$ .

the average starting salary for this year's graduates at a large university (lu) is $55,000 with a standard deviation of $6,000.

alexira [117]

0.84% of the graduates will receive the tax break

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean and standard deviation , the z-score of a measure X is given by:

Z = x - μ / σ

Z-scores are used to measure how far a measure is from the mean. We find the p-value associated with this Z-score by looking at the z-score table after finding the Z-score. The p-value represents the probability that the measure is smaller than X, which is the percentile of X. The probability of the measure being greater than X is calculated by subtracting 1 from the pvalue.

μ = $55,000 σ = $6,000

This is the pvalue of Z when X = $39,600. So

z = 39600 - 55000 / 6000

z = -2.5

z = -2.5 has a o value of 0.0084

Problem 18

Answers:

~P -> Q: "if it is not fall, then the leaves change colors"

~P -> ~Q: "if it is not fall, then the leaves don't change colors"

P -> ~Q: "If it is fall, then the leaves don't change colors"

Q -> ~P: "If the leaves change colors, then it is not fall"

----------

Explanation:

Simply replace each letter with the corresponding definition. We replace each P with "it is fall" and each ~P with "it is not fall". The squiggly line means "not". The same idea applies with Q and ~Q.

==========================================

Problem 19

Answer: Choice A) 134

----------

Explanation:

AB = CD

8x = 4x+24

8x-4x = 24

4x = 24

x = 6

BC = 18x+26

BC = 18*6+26

BC = 134

==========================================

Problem 20

Answer: Choice C) x = 5 and y = 11

----------

Explanation:

(anglePQR)+(angleRQS) = 90

(12x-2)+(6x+2) = 90

18x = 90

x = 5

angle TQU = 90

10y-20 = 90

10y = 110

y = 11

==========================================

Problem 21

Answer: 99

----------

Explanation:

The remote interior angles add to the exterior angle (remote interior angle theorem)

(angle RPQ) + (angle PQR) = angle PRS

(3x-29) + (7x-42) = 6x-3

10x-71 = 6x-3

10x-6x = -3+71

4x = 68

x = 68/4

x = 17

angle PRS = 6x-3

angle PRS = 6*17-3

angle PRS = 99

==========================================

Problem 22

Answer: 116

----------

Explanation:

Refer to the diagram below.

Solve 105+x = 180 to get x = 75

Solve 135+y = 180 to get y = 45

Solve x+y+z = 180 to get z = 60

Solve z+82+p = 180 to get p = 38

Solve p+78+q = 180 to get q = 64

Solve q+r = 180 to get r = 116

==========================================

Problem 23

Answer: B) between 4 and 44 inches

----------

Explanation:

We use a variation of the triangle inequality theorem here.

If p is the missing side length, then

24-20 < p < 24+20

4 < p < 44

So,

4 < XY < 44

The side XY cannot be 4 inches and it cannot be 44 inches either.

==========================================

Problem 24

4 Answers: A, B, C, D

----------

Explanation:

Same idea as problem 23

24-10 < x < 24+10

14 < x < 34

So we'll select values between 14 and 34, excluding each endpoint. Those values are x = 16, 18, 24, 26

In other words, only 12 and 34 are non-answers.

==========================================

Problem 25

Answer: C) 84 degrees

----------

Explanation:

The given exterior angle is 152 degrees

Subtract that from 180 to get the adjacent interior angle 180-152 = 28

Now let's find the missing angle of triangle DEB

D+E+B = 180

28+68+B = 180

96+B = 180

B = 180-96

B = 84

This is the measure of angle DBE

This is also the measure of angle ABC because the two angles are vertical angles.

Vertical angles are always congruent.
