Let x represent the height of the person and y the weight.
y - 180 = (80 - 180)/(4 - 6) (x - 6)
y - 180 = -100/-2 (x - 6) = 50(x - 6) = 50x - 300
y = 50x - 300 + 180 = 50x - 120
y = 50x - 120

A person 5.5 feet tall will weigh 50(5.5) - 120 = 275 - 120 = 155 pounds.

A contaminant is leaking into a lake at a rate of R(t) = 1700e^0.06t gal/h. Enzymes that neutralize the contaminant have been ad
olasank [31]

Answer:

16,460 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a differential equation problem, we have a constant flow of contaminant into the lake, but also we know that only a fraction of that quantity of contaminant remains because of the enzymes. For that reason, the differential equation of contaminant's flow into the lake would be:

\frac{dQ}{dt} =1700exp(0.06t)*exp(-0.32t)\\\frac{dQ}{dt} =1700exp(-0.26t)\\

Then, we have to integrate in order to find the equation for Q(t), as the quantity of contaminant in the lake, in function of time.

\int\limits^0_t {dQ}=\int\limits^0_t {1700exp(-0.26t)dt}\\Q(t)=\frac{1700}{-0.26} exp(-0.26t)+C \\

Now, we use the given conditions to replace them in the equation, in order to solve for C

t_{0} =0\\Q_{0}=10,000\\Q_{0}=-6538exp(-0.26*0)+C\\C=10,000+6538=16538

Then, we reorganize the equation and we replace t for 17 hours, in order to determine the quantity of contaminant at that time:

Q_{t} =-6538exp(-0.26t)+16538\\Q_{17} =-6538exp(-0.26*17)+16538\\Q_{17} =16460 gallons

A cube with side length 5h^2 is stacked on another cube with side length 3k What is the total volume of the cubes in factored fo
Trava [24]
Total Volume = V₁ + V₂
V₁ = Volume of Cube 1
V₂ = Volume of Cube 2

Volume of Cube = (Side Length)³
V₁ = (5h²)³
V₂ = (3k)³

∴ Total Volume = (5h²)³ + (3k)³
And this cannot be simplified further.
So correct answer is: A
