A swimming pool holds 540,000 liters of water. The pool has two drain pipes. When the pool is completely full, the first pipe al

one can empty it in 180 minutes, and the second pipe alone can empty it in 120 minutes. When both are draining together, how long does it take to empty the pool?

Answer: 72 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Pipe A can empty the water in 180 minutes = (180/60) =3 hours

Pipe A does 1/ 3 of the job in 1 hour.

Pipe B can empty the water in 120 minutes = (120/60) = 2 hours.

Pipe B does 1/ 2 of thejob in 1 hour.

Together they will do:

1/ 3 + 1/ 2 = 5/6

Together, both pipes will do 5/ 6 of the job in one hour.

To get the total time to completely drain the water will be:

= 60 ÷ 5/6

= 60 × 6/5

= 12 × 6

= 72 minutes

It takes 72 minutes to empty the pool.

True or false: Every sequence is either arithmetic or geometric. If this is true, explain. If false,
tiny-mole [99]

In an arithmetic sequence, the difference between consecutive terms is constant. In formulas, there exists a number r such that

a_{n+1}-a_n=r\quad \forall n\geq 1

In an geometric sequence, the ratio between consecutive terms is constant. In formulas, there exists a number r such that

\dfrac{a_{n+1}}{a_n}=r\quad \forall n\geq 1

So, there exists infinite sequences that are not arithmetic nor geometric. Simply choose a sequence where neither the difference nor the ratio between consecutive terms is constant.

For example, any sequence starting with

1, 15, -3,\ldots

Won't be arithmetic nor geometric. It's not arithmetic (no matter how you continue it, indefinitely), because the difference between the first two numbers is 14, and between the second and the third is -18, and thus it's not constant. It's not geometric either, because the ratio between the first two numbers is 15, and between the second and the third is -1/5, and thus it's not constant.
