Answer:21 marbles would be added to raise the water 2 3/4 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

When 12 marbles are added to a rectangular aquarium, the water in the aquarium rises 1 1/2 inches. Converting 1 1/2 inches to improper fraction, it becomes 3/2 inches

Let x represent the number of marbles that would be added to the aquarium to raise the water 2 3/4 inches. Converting 2 3/4 inches to improper fraction, it becomes 11/4 inches. Therefore

12 marbles = 3/2 inches rise

x marbles = 11/4 inches rise

Cross multiplying,

12 × 11/4 = 3/2 × x

33 = 3x/2

3x = 33 × 2 = 66

x = 66/3 = 21

Let g(x)=2x and h(x)=x^2+4 find the value. (hog)(a)
lisov135 [29]
In short, (h o g)(a) is just h(    g(a)    ).

so what we can do is simply get g(a) first and then plug that in h(x).

\bf \begin{cases}
g(x)&=2x\\
h(x)&=x^2+4\\
(h\circ g)(a)&=h(~~g(a)~~)
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
g(a)=2(a)\implies g(a)=2a
\\\\\\
h(~~g(a)~~)\implies h(~~2a~~)=(2a)^2+4
\\\\\\
h(~~2a~~)=(2^2a^2)+4\implies  h(~~2a~~)=4a^2+4

A small resort is situated on an island that lies exactly 3 miles from P, the nearest point to the island along a perfectly stra
Artemon [7]

Answer:

The distance from the  shoreline from P the pipe from the island will reach land in order to minimize the total construction cost is 0 m, or the pipe should be routed to the point P

Step-by-step explanation:

We note that, cost to lay pipe in water = 2.3 × cost to lay pipe on land

Distance of the small resort on the island from point p on the shoreline = 3 miles

Location of the closest source of fresh water is 10 miles along the shoreline from p

∴ The small resort, the point p and the closest source of the fresh water on the shoreline together form a right triangle with sides

Height = 3 miles

Base = 10 miles and

Hypotenuse = \sqrt{3^2 + 10 ^2} = \sqrt{109} =  10.44 \, m

To find the cost of laying the pipeline by the various route, we multiply the water routes by 2.3 and the land routes by 1 and we get

Costs:

Height =  Water route = 2.3 × 3 miles = 6.9

Base = Land route = 1 × 10 miles = 10

Hypotenuse = Water route = 2.3 × 10.44 miles = 24.012

Therefore, the two routes are either

10 miles to point p and 3 miles across the water to the resort with a cost = 10 + 6.9 = 16.9 or

Directly to the small resort through 10.44 miles across the water with cost = 24.012

Therefore, to minimize cost, the pipe should come from the resort to P from there to the fresh water source.

That is the distance from the  shoreline from P the pipe from the island will reach land in order to minimize the total construction cost = 0 m.
