Answer:
ai) 73000 gal/yr
aii) $730 per year
b) 1000 days
Step-by-step explanation:
ai) The water usage per day is ...
(4 showers/day)(10 min/shower)(5 gal/min) = 200 gal/day
Then the usage per year is ...
(200 gal/day)(365 days/yr) = 73,000 gal/yr
__
aii) The cost of electricity is the cost of heating half the water usage, so is ...
(0.20 kWh/gal)(1/2)(73,000 gal/yr)($0.10/kWh) = $730/yr
__
b) The current daily cost of electricity for heating water is ...
($730/yr)/(365 days/yr) = $2/day
If the cost is cut in half, it will be $1 per day. That means the savings is $1 per day, so it will take 1000 days to recover the $1000 initial cost. (Effectively, the average cost for the first 1000 days is the same as if the water heater had not been replaced.)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Given </u><u>:</u><u>-</u><u> </u>
- A quadratic equation is given to us.
- The equation is 2x² + 7x +6=0
And we need to find out the roots of the given equation. We can use the middle term splitting method to find out the roots as ,
<u>Given </u><u>equation</u><u> </u><u>:</u><u>-</u>
Step 1: <u>Find</u><u> out</u><u> the</u><u> </u><u>factors</u><u> </u><u>of </u><u>1</u><u>2</u><u> </u><u>:</u><u>-</u><u> </u>
We will choose the two factors such that their sum equals to the coefficient of x i.e. 7 .The factors are , 1×12 , 2×6 , 3×4 .
- And 3 + 4 = 7. So we will break the middle term into 3x and 4x .
Step 2 :<u> Breaking</u><u> the</u><u> </u><u>middle</u><u> term</u><u> </u><u>:</u><u>-</u><u> </u>
Step 3: <u>Take </u><u>out </u><u>common</u><u> </u><u>from </u><u>terms </u><u>:</u><u>-</u>
Step 4 : <u>Equate </u><u>them </u><u>with </u><u>0</u><u> </u><u>:</u><u>-</u><u> </u>
<u>Hence </u><u>the</u><u> </u><u>correct</u><u> </u><u>options </u><u>are </u><u>C </u><u>and </u><u>D </u><u>.</u>
Answer: 240 gallons
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question, we are informed that the container has 360 gallons and that Daniel took 1/3 of water to give to the animals in the ranch. Therefore, the amount of water that Daniel took will be:
= 1/3 × 360
= 120 gallons
Since we have 360 gallons at the beginning and Daniel has taken 120 gallons, the amount of gallons that'll be left will be:
= 360 - 120
= 240 gallons
Selection A is appropriate.
