Answer:

The man wins 9 times and looses 11 times in the rock - paper-scissor game.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume that in the game:

Number of times  man wins the games = x times

Number of times  man loses the games = y times

Total number of attempts = 20

Points after winning = 5

Points after loosing = 2

Now, according to the question:

       x  + y =20

and 5 x + 2 y = 67

Now, from (1) y = 20-x,     put in (2)

5x + 2y = 67       ⇒           5x + 2(20 -x)  = 67

or, 5x -2x = 67 - 40

or, 3x = 27

⇒ x = 27/3 = 9

then y = 20 - x = 20 - 9 = 11

⇒ x = 9 and y = 11 is the solution of the given system.

Hence, the man wins 9 times and looses 11 times in the rock - paper-scissor game.

Part A. You have the correct first and second derivative.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Part B. You'll need to be more specific. What I would do is show how the quantity (-2x+1)^4 is always nonnegative. This is because x^4 = (x^2)^2 is always nonnegative. So (-2x+1)^4 >= 0. The coefficient -10a is either positive or negative depending on the value of 'a'. If a > 0, then -10a is negative. Making h ' (x) negative. So in this case, h(x) is monotonically decreasing always. On the flip side, if a < 0, then h ' (x) is monotonically increasing as h ' (x) is positive.

-------------------------------------------------------------

Part C. What this is saying is basically "if we change 'a' and/or 'b', then the extrema will NOT change". So is that the case? Let's find out

To find the relative extrema, aka local extrema, we plug in h ' (x) = 0
h  ' (x) = -10a(-2x+1)^4
0 = -10a(-2x+1)^4
so either
-10a = 0 or (-2x+1)^4 = 0
The first part is all we care about. Solving for 'a' gets us a = 0. 
But there's a problem. It's clearly stated that 'a' is nonzero. So in any other case, the value of 'a' doesn't lead to altering the path in terms of finding the extrema. We'll focus on solving (-2x+1)^4 = 0 for x. Also, the parameter b is nowhere to be found in h ' (x) so that's out as well.

What is the depth of water in a tank with 300,000 gallons of water at 70F when the pressure gauge at the bottom of the tank read
chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

53.08 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The pressure at the bottom of the tank, P = ρgh where ρ = density of water = 1000 kg/m³, g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s² and h = depth of water in tank.

Since the pressure at the bottom of the tank, P = ρgh, making h subject of the formula, we have

h = P/ρg

Since P = 23 psig = 23 × 1 psig = 23 × 6894.76 Pa = 158579.48 Pa

Substituting the values of the other variables into h, we have

h = P/ρg

h = 158579.48 Pa/(1000 kg/m³ × 9.8 m/s²)

h = 158579.48 Pa/(9800 kg/m²s²)

h = 16.18 m

h = 16.18 × 1 m

h = 16.18 × 3.28 ft

h = 53.08 ft
