Answer:

Time it will take to drain the entire tower = 2.8minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is incomplete as the volume of the tower was not indicated.

Let's consider the following question:

If there are 7.48 gallons in a cubic foot, and the volume of the tower is around 36000in cubed. Residents of the apartment building are using the water from the tower at an average rate of 56 gallons per minute, determine how long it will take to drain the entire tower.

Solution:

Volume = 36000in³

Conversion of in³ to ft³

1 inch = 0.0833 feet

12 inch = 1 ft

1 ft³ = 1ft × 1ft × 1ft

= 12 in x 12 in x 12 in = 1728 in³

36000in³ × [(1ft³)/(1728 in³) = (36000/1728)ft³

= 20.833ft³

Volume = 20.833ft³

There are 7.48 gallons in a cubic foot

In 20.833ft³ = 20.833ft³× (7.48 gallons/1ft³)

= 20.833× 7.48gallons

Volume = 155.83 gallons

The rate of usage = 56 gallons per minute

The rate of usage for 155.83 gallons = 155.83 gallons × (1min/56gallons)

= (155.83/56)minute

= 2.8minutes

Time it will take to drain the entire tower = 2.8minutes

The length of the longer leg of a right triangle is 20 inches more than twice the length of the shorter leg. The length of the h
Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the length of the hypotenuse.

Let y represent the length of the the shorter leg.

Let z represent the length of the longer leg.

The length of the longer leg of a right triangle is 20 inches more than twice the length of the shorter leg. It means that

z = 2y + 20

The length of the hypotenuse is 22 inches more than twice the length of the shorter leg. It means that

x = 2y + 22

We would apply Pythagoras theorem which is expressed as

Hypotenuse² = opposite side² + adjacent side²

Therefore,

(2y + 22)² = y² + (2y + 20)²

(2y + 22)(2y + 22) = y² + (2y + 20)(2y + 20)

= 4y² + 44y + 44y + 484 = y² + 4y² + 40y + 40y + 400

4y² + 88y + 484 = y² + 4y² + 80y + 400

4y² + 88y + 484 = 5y² + 80y + 400

5y² - 4y²+ 80y - 88y + 400 - 484

y² - 8y - 84 = 0

y² + 6y - 14y - 84 = 0

y(y + 6) - 14(y + 6)

y - 14 = 0 or y + 6 = 0

y = 14 or y = - 6

The shorter length cannot be negative hence y = 14 inches

The length of the shorter side is 14 inches.

The length of the hypotenuse is

(2 × 14) + 22 = 50 inches

The length of the longer side is

(2 × 14) + 20 = 48 inches

If f(x) = 2x6 + 3x5 – 1, then what is the remainder when f(x) is divided by<br> x + 1?
Alchen [17]
<h3>Answer:   -2</h3>

===============================================

Explanation:

We use the remainder theorem. This is the idea where if we divide P(x) over (x-k), then the remainder is P(k).

Comparing x+1 to x-k shows that k = -1

It might help to rewrite x+1 as x-(-1) to get it into the form x-k better.

Plug this k value into the function

f(x) = 2x^6 + 3x^5 - 1

f(-1) = 2(-1)^2 + 3(-1)^5 - 1

f(-1) = 2(1) + 3(-1) - 1

f(-1) = 2 - 3 - 1

f(-1) = -1 - 1

f(-1) =-2

The remainder is -2

We can confirm this through synthetic division or polynomial long division.
