A trough is 14 ft long and its ends have the shape of isosceles triangles that are 5 ft across at the top and have a height of 1

ft. If the trough is being filled with water at a rate of 15 ft3/min, how fast is the water level rising when the water is 4 inches deep?

Step-by-step explanation:

Using similar triangles, the height and width of the water is proportional to the height and width of the trough.

w / h = 5 / 1

w = 5h

The volume of the water is:

V = AL

V = (½ wh) (14)

V = 7wh

Substituting:

V = 7(5h)h

V = 35h²

Take derivative with respect to time:

dV/dt = 70h dh/dt

Given that dV/dt = 15 and h = ⅓:

15 = 70 (⅓) dh/dt

dh/dt = 9/14

dh/dt ≈ 0.643 ft/min

Which equation in slope-intercept form represents a line that passes through the point (6,−1) and is perpendicular to the line y
damaskus [11]

For this case we have that by definition, the equation of a line of the slope-intersection form is given by:

y = mx + b

Where:

m: It is the slope of the line

b: It is the cut point with the y axis

By definition, if two lines are perpendicular then the product of their slopes is -1.

If we have: y = 2x-7

m_ {1} = 2\\2 * m 2 = - 1\\m_ {2} = - \frac {1} {2}

Thus, the equation is of the form:

y = - \frac {1} {2} x + b

We substitute the point:

-1 = - \frac {1} {2} (6) + b\\-1 = - \frac {1} {2} (6) + b\\-1 = -3 + b\\-1 + 3 = b\\b = 2

Finally, the equation is:

y = - \frac {1} {2} x + 2

Answer:

y = - \frac {1} {2} x + 2

At the movie theatre, child admission is $5.60 and adult admission is $9.50. On Saturday, four times as many adult tickets as ch
romanna [79]

Answer:

-6.20x-6.20y=-948.6

add this to equation 2

6.20x-6.20x +9.30y-6.20y=1125.30-948.60

3.10y= 176.70

/3.10

y=176.70/3.10

y = 57 number of adult tickets

153-57=96 child tickets

Step-by-step explanation:

child admission is $6.20 : x numbers

adult admission is $9.30 : y numbers

153 tickets were sold  

sales of $1125.30 .  

x+y = 153.........................1

6.20x+9.30y= 1125.30..............2

lord [1]

Answer: 1\dfrac13 cups of pineapple juice .

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of direct proportion between x and y:

\dfrac{x_1}{y_1}=\dfrac{x_2}{y_2}

As per given,

Let x = quantity of pineapple juice and y = quantity of orange juice.

x_1=\dfrac13\  , y_1=\dfrac34 ,  y_2=3

Put these values in an equation we get

\dfrac{\dfrac13}{\dfrac34}=\dfrac{x_2}{3}\\\\\Rightarrow\ \dfrac{4}{9}=\dfrac{x_2}{3}\\\\\Rightarrow\ x_2=3\times\dfrac{4}{9}=\dfrac{4}{3}\\\\\Rightarrow\ x_2=1\dfrac13

Hence, he needs 1\dfrac13 cups of pineapple juice .

The repayment schedule is for a $1,300 loan at 7.5% for 6 months. What is the amount for interest at payment 5?
max2010maxim [7]

Answer: The answer is $2.77.


Step-by-step explanation:   Given that we have to pay the loan of $1300 at interest rate of 7.5% in 6 months. According to the table,

Amount for interest in payment 1 = $8.13,

Amount of interest in payment 2 = $6.79

and

Amount of interest in payment 3 = $5.45.

We can see here that the difference in the amounts to be paid in consecutive months will be same, i.e., the payments will form an arithmetic progression (A.P.).

The common difference = 8.13-6.79=6.79-5.45=1.34.

Therefore, amount of interest in payment 4 = $(5.45-1.34) = $4.11

and amount of interest in payment 5 = $(4.11-1.34) = $2.77.

Please see the attached modified table.

Thus, the answer is $2.77.
