The question is incomplete, the complete question is;

If in 0.5 min the tank gets 0.8 gallons of the water then

how many gallons will be in 1 min ?

how many gallons will be in 3 min?

and how long it takes for 40 gallons?

Answer:

1.6 gallons

4.8 gallons

25 mins

Step-by-step explanation:

This question has to do with proportion.

If it takes 0.5 mins for the tank to get 0.8 gallons

in 1 minute the tank will get 0.8 * 1/0.5 = 1.6 gallons

In 3 minutes the tank will get 3 * 1.6 gallons = 4.8 gallons

if it takes 1 min to get 1.6 gallons

it will take x mins to get 40 gallons

x = 1 * 40/1.6 = 25 mins

Please help me with this question it is due today! What value of m makes the system show perpendicular lines? Explain.

Lady bird [3.3K]

M = -2

In perpendicular lines, the slopes are opposite reciprocal. This means you flip the sign (from + to - or from - to +) and flip the numerator and denominator.

So 1/2 becomes negative, and 2/1 = 2

So the slope is -2

Bezzdna [24]

Answer: 32 and 42

Step-by-step explanation:

5j +12

j= 4

j = 6

5(4) + 12

5 times 4 = 20

20 + 12 = 32

5(6) + 12

5 times 6 = 30

30 + 12 = 42

What is the directrix of the parabola defined by 1/4(y+3)=(x-2)^2

Charra [1.4K]

This is a parabola which opens upwards and the directrix will be of the form
y = k

the general form is

4p(y - k) = (x - h)^2 we have:-

1/4(y + 3) = (x - 2)^2

so the vertex is at (2, -3)

4p = 1/4 so p = 1/16

so the focus will be at (2 , -2 15/16)

and directrix is y = -3 1/16
