I really need to know how long it takes the large pipe on its own

Mathematics

s = hours it takes the small pipe on its own.


L = hours it takes the large pipe on its own.


we know the small pipe can do it in 11 hours total, so s = 11, so, how much of the whole job has the small done in 1 hour only?


well, if it takes 11 hours to do the whole thing, in 1 hour it has done only 1/11 of the whole job.


we know both pipes working together can do it in 6 hours flat. So in 1 hour only, both of them have done only 1/6 of the whole thing.


in that 1 hour, how much has the large one done? well, it has only done 1/L of the job.


\bf \stackrel{\textit{how much has it been done by both in 1 hour}}{\stackrel{\stackrel{small}{rate}}{\cfrac{1}{s}}+\stackrel{\stackrel{large}{rate}}{\cfrac{1}{L}}~~=~~\stackrel{job}{\cfrac{1}{6}}} \\\\\\ \cfrac{1}{11}+\cfrac{1}{L}=\cfrac{1}{6}\implies \stackrel{\textit{multiplying both sides by }\stackrel{LCD}{66L}}{6L+66=11L}\implies 66=5L \\\\\\ \cfrac{66}{5}=L\implies 13\frac{1}{5}=L\impliedby \textit{13 hours and 12 minutes}


and you can round that up as needed.

Tell whether the ordered pair is a solution to the equation.<br><br><br> (-2, 8); y = -2x - 1
slavikrds [6]

Answer:

No, the pair is not a solution to the equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

For the pair to be a solution to the equation, x = -2 must lead to y = 8, o =r vice versa. This leads to being able to solve it two ways either through x or through y.

I'll solve it through x:

y = -2x - 1

with x = -2

y = -2 * - 2 - 1

y = 4 - 1

y = 3

Since y = 3, when x = -2 the pair (-2,8) is not a pair to the solution of the equation.

PS: You can double check by solving through y and you'll find x = -4.5

Answers:

Equation is (x+1)^2 + (y+2)^2 = 25

Center is (-1, -2)

Radius = 5

===========================================

Work Shown:

x^2+2x+y^2+4y=20\\\\(x^2+2x)+(y^2+4y)=20\\\\(x^2+2x+1)+(y^2+4y)=20+1\\\\(x^2+2x+1)+(y^2+4y+4)=20+1+4\\\\(x+1)^2 + (y+2)^2 = 25\\\\

center = (h,k) = (-1,-2)

radius = 5

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

Explanation:

I grouped up the x and y terms separately. Then I added 1 to both sides to complete the square for the x terms. I cut the 2 from 2x in half, then squared it to get 1. In the next step, I cut the 4 from 4y in half to get 2, which squares to 4. So that's why I added 4 to both sides to complete the square for the y terms.

Each piece is factored using the perfect squares factoring rule which is a^2+2ab+b^2 = (a+b)^2

The last equation is in the form (x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2

We can think of x+1 as x - (-1) to show that h = -1

Similarly, y+2 = y-(-2) = y-k to show that k = -2

The center is (h,k) = (-1,-2)

The radius is r = 5 because r^2 = 5^2 = 25 is on the right hand side in the last equation above.
