It will take 30 hours to fill the pool if both pipes were accidentally left open

<u>Solution:</u>

Given, One pipe can fill a swimming pool in 10 hours,  

While another pipe can empty the pool in 15 hours.  

We have to find how long would it take to fill the pool if both pipes were accidentally left open?

Now, work done by 1st pipe in 1 hour = \frac{1}{10}

And, work done by 2nd pipe in 1 hour = \frac{-1}{15}

Here negative sign represents "empties the pipe"

<em> Together work done in 1 hour = work done by 1st pipe in 1 hour + work done by 2nd pipe in 1 hour</em>

=\frac{1}{10}+\frac{-1}{15}=\frac{3-2}{30}=\frac{1}{30}

Now, time required to fill tank together =\frac{1}{\text {work done in } 1 \text { hour }}=\frac{1}{\frac{1}{30}}=30 \text { hours. }

Hence, together they will fill the tank in 30 hours.

In two or more complete sentences, explain whether the sequence is finite or infinite. Describe the pattern in the sequence if i
levacccp [35]
The sequence is given as follow
3a,3 a^{2}b,3 a^{3} b^{2} , 3 a^{4} b^{3}

When finding the pattern of a sequence, we can try to work out whether there is a common difference or a common ratio between each term. We try by finding a common ratio

\frac{3 a^{2}b }{3a} =ab
\frac{3 a^{3 b^{2} } }{3 a^{2}b }=ab
\frac{3 a^{4} b^{3} }{3 a^{3} b^{2} }=ab

The term to term rule is multiplied by ab

The 5^{th} term is given 3 a ^{4} b^{3}×ab=3 a^{5} b^{4}

The 6^{th} term is given by 3 a^{5} b^{4}×ab=3 a^{6}  b^{5}

One of the Same side angles of two parallel lines is 60° greater than the other. Find the two angles.
BARSIC [14]

Answer:

60,120

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that angles on the same side of the transversal always add up to 180 ( are supplementary)

Hence, taking one of the angles as x we get,

x+(60+x)=180

2x+60=180

2x=120

x=60

Hence, one angle is 60 degrees while the other 120 degrees
