On March 24, 1989, the Exxon Valdez oil tanker ran aground and leaked millions of gallons of oil into Prince William Sound. The

spill covered approximately 11,000 square miles of ocean. The oil spread out in a circular pattern and the radius increased by 0.10 mph. Use π = 3.14. At this rate, how many hours did it take for oil to cover the area?

Answer:

592 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Area = 11000m^2

Radius = 0.10m/h

Required

Determine the time taken to cover the area

Since, the oil formed a circular pattern; the question will be answered using area of a circle

Area = \pi r^2

Let t represent the time take to cover 11000m²;

The relationship between these parameters is:

11000 = \pi * (0.10t)^2

Substitute 3.14 for π

11000 = 3.14 * (0.10t)^2

Divide both sides by 3.14

\frac{11000}{3.14} = \frac{3.14 * (0.10t)^2}{3.14}

\frac{11000}{3.14} =(0.10t)^2

3503.18471338 = (0.10t)^2

Take square root of both sides

\sqrt{3503.18471338} = \sqrt{(0.10t)^2}

\sqrt{3503.18471338} = 0.10t

59.1877074516 = 0.10t

Divide both sides by 0.10

\frac{59.1877074516}{0.10} = \frac{0.10t}{0.10}

\frac{59.1877074516}{0.10} = t

591.877074516 = t

t = 591.877074516

t = 592\ hours <em>(</em><em>Approximated)</em>

<em>Hence, it'll take approximately 592 hours to cover the given area</em>

Which table represents the equation y = -2x + 17?
Alexeev081 [22]
<h3>Answer: Choice A</h3>

Explanation:

Each table has x = 10 in it. Plug this value into the given equation.

y = -2x+17

y = -2*10+17

y = -20+17

y = -3

The input x = 10 leads to the output y = -3. Table A shows this in the middle-most row. So that's why choice A is the answer. The other tables have x = 10 lead to y values that aren't -3 (eg: choice D has x = 10 lead to y = 12), so we can rule them out.

What is an equation of the line that passes through the point (-7, -6) and is parallel to the line x-y=7?
Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

For two lines to be parallel their slopes must be equal. For two lines to be perpendicular their slopes must be the negative reciprocal of each other.

Step 1 Find the slope of the equation.

Put it into the slope-intercept form. y = mx + b.  

For x-y = 7, move the x to the left; therefore subtract the x from both sides. this leaves you  -y = -x + 7

Then, divide both sides by -1 to get a positive y.  -y/-1 = (-x + 7)/-1

This leaves y = x - 7  The slope(m) for this equation is m = 1

The other equation must also have a slope of 1 or m=1 for the lines to be parallel.

Use the point given to you (-7, -6) and substitute for (x, y)

The slope-intercept form y = mx + b can once again be used.

x = -7, y =-6, and slope or m = 1

Therefore,  y = mx + b substituted will be -6 = (1)(-7) + b; now, solve for b which is the y intercept

-6 = -7 + b add 7 to both sides -6 +7 = -7 + b +7 ; therefore, b = 1

Now you know the slope(m) which is equal to 1 and the y-intercept(b) which is equal to 1.

Finally, substitute the m and b in the slope-intercept form

            y = (1)x + 1 or y = x +1

Solve each of the following literal equations for c: (c/b) - x = 2d and ac + bd = x
maks197457 [2]
(c/b) - x = 2d
(c/b) = 2d + x
c = b(2d + x)
c = 2db + bx

ac + bd = x
ac = x - bd
c = (x - bd) / a OR c = (x/a) - (bd/a)
