Answer:

a) How much water was released during the flood?

14878080000 cubic feet or 14,878,080,000ft³

b) What percentage of the dam was released during the flood?

0.78%

Step-by-step explanation:

a) How much water was released during the flood?

The first step would be to find out how many seconds are in a week

60 seconds = 1 minute

60 minutes = 1 hour

24 hours = 1 day

7 days = 1 week

Hence, the number of seconds in a week =

1 week × (7 days/1 week)× (24 hours/1 day )×( 60 minutes/1 hour) ×( 60 seconds/1 minute)

= 604800 seconds

Therefore, the quantity of water released per week =

604800 seconds × 24,600 cubic feet per second

= 14,878,080,000 cubic feet or 14,878,080,000ft³

b) What percentage of the dam was released during the flood?

This is calculated as quantity released during the week ÷ Quantity of water in the dam × 100%

Quantity of water released during the flood in a week = 14,878,080,000 cubic feet

Quantity of water in the dam= 1,900,000,000,000 cubic feet of water

Percentage of the dam released during the flood =

14,878,080,000 cubic feet ÷ 1,900,000,000,000 × 100

= 0.7830568421%

Approximately = 0.78%

Answer:

"The expression represents a cubic polynomial with 3 terms. The constant term is -10, the leading degree is 3, and the leading coefficient is (-1/6)"

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the expression:

-\frac{x^3}{6} - 10 + x

First, what does that expression represents?

As al the powers of x are positive numbers, we can see that this is a polynomial, and the largest power is 3, so this is a polynomial of degree 3, also called a cubic polynomial.

How many terms are there?

The terms are the things separated by + or - symbols, is easy to see that there are 3 terms.

What is the constant term?

The constant term is the term where the variable, x, does not appear, here the constant term is: -10

What is the leading coefficient?

The leading coefficient is the coefficient that multiplies the term with the largest power of x, in this case, we can rewrite:

-\frac{x^3}{6}  -10 + x = (\frac{-1}{6})*x^3 - 10 + x

the leading coefficient is:

(-1/6)

There is a part of the statement that I can't read, i suppose that there says:

"leading degree"

this is just the largest power of x that appears in the polynomial, in this case, is 3.

Then the complete statement is:

"The expression represents a cubic polynomial with 3 terms. The constant term is -10, the leading degree is 3, and the leading coefficient is (-1/6)"

Answer:

(x + 5)

Step-by-step explanation:

{x}^{2}  + 8x + 15 \\  {x}^{2}  + 3x + 5x + 15 \\ x(x + 3)5(x + 3) \\ (x + 3)(x + 5) \\ length \:  =  \frac{(x + 3)(x + 5)}{(x + 3)}  \\   \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \: = (x  + 5)

Main Idea: To evaluate an exponential growth or decay function, substitute a value for the exponent variable and simplify.
Helen [10]
If there is more to the answer than what I give please ask for more!

With F(x) = 3^{x} we can find F(4) by substituting 4 into the main function.

So it would look like this: F(4) = 3^{4} = 3*3*3*3 = 81

Hope this helps!
