Answer:

42%

Step-by-step explanation:

Water wasted last year = 75,900 gallons

Water wasted this year = 44,022 gallons

Percentage decrease in the amount of water wasted yearly = (Water wasted last year - Water wasted this year) / Water wasted last year × 100

= (75,900 - 44,022) / 75,900 × 100

= 31,878 / 75,900 × 100

= 0.42 × 100

= 42%

Percentage decrease in the amount of water wasted yearly is 42%

Please help. the question is in the picture.

Harlamova29_29 [7]

We have measures of all tree sides of the both triangles,

so we can use SSS to check if the triangles are similar.

|ED|/|AB| =5/10=1/2

|DC|/|BC| = 4/8 = 1/2

|EC|/|AC| = 6/12 = 1/2

We see that all tree pairs are in proportion, so these triangles ΔABC and ΔEDC are similar.

We have enough information to prove that ΔABC similar to ΔEDC.

assume x and y are both differentiable functions of t. find dx/dt given x=-1 and dy/dt=8 for the relation: 4x^2+3y^3=28

melomori [17]

Given:

x and y are both differentiable functions of t.

$4x^2+3y^3=28$

$x=-1\text{ and }\dfrac{dy}{dt}=8$

To find:

The value of $\dfrac{dx}{dt}$ .

Solution:

We have,

$4x^2+3y^3=28$ ...(i)

At x=-1,

$4(-1)^2+3y^3=28$

$4+3y^3=28$

$3y^3=28-4$

$3y^3=24$

Divide both sides by 3.

$y^3=8$

Taking cube root on both sides.

$y=2$

So, y=2 at x=-1.

Differentiate (i) with respect to t.

$4(2x\dfrac{dx}{dt})+3(3y^2\dfrac{dy}{dt})=0$

Putting x=-1, y=2 and $\dfrac{dy}{dt}=8$ , we get

$4(2(-1)\dfrac{dx}{dt})+3(3(2)^28)=0$

$-8\dfrac{dx}{dt}+9(4)(8)=0$

$-8(\dfrac{dx}{dt}-9(4))=0$

Divide both sides by -8.

$\dfrac{dx}{dt}-36=0$

$\dfrac{dx}{dt}=36$

Therefore, the value of $4x^2+3y^3=28$ is 36.
