Answer:

Ambitious

Answer

Find out the what is the percentage of this discount .

To prove

Formula

Discount = Marked price - selling price

As given

a jar of natural peanut butter normally costs $4.00 .

it's on sale for $3.60 .

thus

Marked price = $4.00

selling price = $3.60

put in the above formula

Discount = 4.00 - 3.60

= 0.4

Formula

put the value

Discount percentage = 10%

Option (a) is correct .

Hence proved

Please please help ASAP! Classify each angle!

Olenka [21]

Answer:

<h3> Acute Angles: ∠TLS, ∠SLT, ∠ULR</h3><h3> Right Angles: ---------</h3><h3> Obtuse Angles: ∠RLT, ∠SLU, ∠ULS,</h3><h3> Straight Angles: ∠RLS, ∠TLU </h3><h3> Not angles: ∠TRL </h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

The lines intersect at point L, so all angles have a vertex (middle letter) L so there is no angle TRL

Straight angle is a line with dot-vertex, so the straight angles are ∠RLS and ∠TLU.

∠TLS is less than 90° then it is acute angle (∠SLT is the same angle). ∠ULR is vertex angle to ∠TLS, so it's also acute angle.

Two angles adding to straight angle mean that they are both right angles or one is acute and the second is obtuse. ∠TLS is acute so ∠RLT is obtuse (they adding to ∠RLS) and ∠SLU is obtuse (they adding to ∠TLU). ∠ULS is the same angle as ∠SLU.

What are the solutions of the equation 3x^2+6x-24=0

Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

x = - 4, x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

3x² + 6x - 24 = 0 ( divide through by 3 )

x² + 2x - 8 = 0 ← in standard form

(x + 4)(x - 2) = 0 ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x + 4 = 0 ⇒ x = - 4

x - 2 = 0 ⇒ x = 2

Your swimming pool containing 60,000 gal of water has been contaminated by 6 kg of a nontoxic dye that leaves a swimmer's skin a

Paul [167]

[a] Dye is removed from the pool at a rate of

(250 gal/min) * (<em>q</em>/60,000 g/gal) = -<em>q</em>/240 g/gal

where <em>q</em> denotes the amount of dye in the pool at time <em>t</em>. Clean water is pumped back into the pool, so no dye is being re-added.

So the net rate of change of the amount of dye in the pool is given by the differential equation,

$\dfrac{\mathrm dq}{\mathrm dt}=-\dfrac{q(t)}{240}$

with the intial value, <em>q</em>(0) = 6000 g (or 6 kg).

[b] The ODE above is separable as

$\dfrac{\mathrm dq}q=-\dfrac{\mathrm dt}{240}$

Integrate both sides to get

$\ln|q|=-\dfrac t{240}+C$

$e^{\ln|q|}=e^{-t/240+C}$

$\implies q(t)=e^{-t/240+C}=e^{-t/240}e^C=Ce^{-t/240}$

Now plug in the initial condition:

$6000=Ce^0\implies C=6000$

so the particular solution to the IVP is

$q(t)=6000e^{-t/240}$

[c] The acceptable concentration of the dy is 0.03 g/gal, which in a pool containing 60,000 gal of water corresponds to

(0.03 g/gal) * (60,000 gal) = 1800 g = 1.8 kg

of dye. Find the time <em>t</em> when this occurs:

$1800=6000e^{-t/240}\implies0.3=e^{-t/240}$

$\implies\ln0.3=-\dfrac t{240}$

$\implies t=-240\ln0.3\approx288.953$

so the amount of dye in the pool is within the acceptable tolerance after about 289 min have passes, or about 4.82 hrs. So no, the filtration system is not up to the task.
