A swimming pool in the shape of a rectangular prism is filled with water. The pool measures 12 ft wide by 24 ft long by 6ft deep

. If the pool fills at a rate of 86 cubic feet per hour, approximately how many hours will it take to fill the pool

Answer:

<em>It takes 21 hours to fill the pool</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's first plan out our problem at hand. If we were to determine the volume of this swimming pool by multiplication of it's dimensions (length * width * height) we could determine how long it would take to fill the pool by dividing this volume by the rate at which the pool fills. This is true as R = D/T, and here we isolate T (time) so that T = D/R, where D is the volume of the pool, and R is the rate at which it fills:

1. Calculate the volume of the pool -

V = length * width * height = 12 * 24 * 6 = 1728 cubic feet

2. Substitute R (rate) into T = D/R to find T (time) -

T = D/R = 1728/86 = (About) 20.09 hours

Now to round this value, we would have to round it up as sparing 20 hours would not fill the pool: 21 hours

Find the value of x for which the graph of y = 3x^2 - 8x + 7 achieves its minimum y-value.​
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

<h3>The y value achieves its minimum at x = 4/3</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the graph of y to be 3x² - 8x + 7, to get the value of x for which the graph function achieves its minimum y value, we need to find its turning point first.

At the turning point, dy/dx = 0

Given y = 3x² - 8x + 7

\frac{dy}{dx} = 6x-8\\ at\ turning\ point\ 6x-8 = 0

6x = 8\\x = \frac{8}{6}\\ x =\frac{4}{3}

The y value achieves its minimum at x = 4/3

ale4655 [162]

Answer:

1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Every time clock moves 1 (like for example it move from 3 to 4) 1/8 it covers

3->4->5->6->7 => 1/8+1/8+1/8+1/8 => 4/8 => 1/2
