Answer:

It would take 8 days 18 hours for 4 pipes to empty the tank.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, first, we need to check if this is a direct or indirect proportion

As the number of pipes increases, the number of days to empty a water tank decreases, as the number of pipes decreases, the number of days it takes to empty a water tank increases. This is an indirect proportion.

Solving using  proportion;

since it is an indirect proportion, the arrangement differs from that of the direct proportion, it will be arrange inversely to each other

Let x be the number of days it will take to empty 4 pipes

7 pipes = 4 pipes

 x         = 5 days

cross-multiply

4×x = 7×5

4x = 35

Divide both-side of the equation by 4

4x/4 = 35/4

x = 8.75 days

But we are asked to leave our answer in days and hour

8.75 days = 8 days + 0.75 days

0.75 day is not up to a day, so we will change it to hour

0.75 day = 0.75 × 24 hours =  18 hours

8.75 days = 8 days 18 hours.

Therefore, it would take 8 days 18 hours for 4 pipes to empty the tank.

Solve 3x²-x-2=0. Please show all work.​
lorasvet [3.4K]

3x²-x-2=0

Δ=1+24=25 (Δ=b²-4ac)

x₁,₂=\frac{1(+/-)\sqrt{25} }{6}

x₁,₂=\frac{1(+/-)5}{6}

x1=\frac{1+5}{6}=6/6=1

x2=\frac{1-5}{6}=\frac{-2}{3}

so

x1=1

x2=\frac{-2}{3}

How to make 69% as a fraction in simplest form?
IceJOKER [234]
69% can be written as
69/100
That cannot be reduced any further since 69 and 100 do not have any common factors other than 1

f(x)=4 hallar el dominio, codominio, ceros o raices, vertices, asintotas, tabla de valores, graficas, identificar el tipo de fun
nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

Tipo de función: Función Constante o Función Polinómica de Orden Cero

Dominio: Dom \{f(x)\} = \mathbb{R}

Codominio: Ran \{f(x)\} = 4

Asíntota: y = 4

Raíces: No tiene.

Vértices: No tiene.

La tabla de valores y el gráfico se encuentran adjuntos al fondo.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sea f(x) = 4, el cual representa a una Función Constante o Función Polinómica de Orden Cero, cuyos dominio y codominio son Dom \{f(x)\} = \mathbb{R} y Ran \{f(x)\} = 4. No tiene vértices. Esta función tiene una asíntota horizontal coincidente con la función (y = 4) y carece de raíces al ser f(x) \ne 0 para todo x\in \mathbb{R}.

Finalmente, agregamos una tabla de valores y la gráfica asociada a la función:

x         -2         -1         0         1          2

y         4          4         4         4         4

De las siguientes relaciones entre dos variables, razona cuáles son funcionales y cuáles no: a. Edad – altura de la persona a lo
Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

In this problem, we need to describe the relation between variables, if that relation is functional or not. It's important to say that we assumed that the first variable is independent, and the second is dependent.

<h3>(a)</h3>

Age - Height of the person along his life: These variable are functinal and make total sense, because through time the person grows, which means the height changes as the age increases. These variables have a proportional relationship.

<h3>(b)</h3>

Height - Age of the person: These relation is not functional, becasuse age can't be a dependent variable, beacuse the age of a person doesn't depends on his height.

<h3>(c)</h3>

Gasoline price - Day of the Month: These relation is not functional, becasue time must be the independent variable.

<h3>(d)</h3>

Day of the Month - Gasoline price: These realation make sense, beacuse the price of the gasoline can be depedent of the day of the month.

<h3>(e)</h3>

A number and its fifth part: Notice that the fifth part depends on the number, it's defined by it, so this can be a function.

<h3>(f)</h3>

A number and its square root: These two variables represent a function, where "a number" represents the domain value and "its square root" represents a range vale.
