The volume of a large aquarium is 210 yd. It is 3 yd wide and 2

Pavel [41]

Length of the aquarium is 35 yd

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Volume of the aquarium = 210 yd³ given by Volume = length × width × height. Width = 3 yd and Height = 2 yd

Length = Volume/Width × Height

= 210/3 × 2 = 210/6

= 35 yd

Select the two values of x that are roots of this equation 3x^2 + 1 =5x

Zina [86]

Answer:

x = 1.434 and x=0.232

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the root of the equation stated above we need to:

(1) Write the polynomial equation with zero on the right hand side:

$3x^{2} + 1 = 5x$ ⇒ $3x^{2} -5x + 1 = 0$

(2) Divide the whole equation by 3

$3x^{2} -5x + 1 = 0$ ⇒ $x^{2} -\frac{5}{3}x + \frac{1}{3}= 0$

(3) Use the quadratic formula to solve the quadratic equation:

The quadratic formula states that the two solutions for a quadratic equation is given by:

$\frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2} - 4ac}}{2a}$ (1)

In this case, a = 1, b = $-\frac{5}{3}, c= \frac{1}{3}$

Substituiting a, b and c in equation (1) We get:

$\frac{-\frac{5}{3}±\sqrt{(-\frac{5}{3})^{2} - 4(1)(\frac{1}{3})}}{2(1)}$ (1)

The two solutions are:

x = 1.434 and x=0.232

Scientists have discovered a vaccine for a debilitating disease. This year there were 570,000 reported new cases of the disease

Ket [755]

Answer: There are approximately 853827 new cases in 6 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Initial population = 570000

Rate at which population decreases is given by

$\frac{2}{3}$

Now,

First year =570000

Second year is given by

$570000\times (\frac{1}{3})$

Third year is given by

$570000(\frac{1}{3})^2$

so, there is common ratio ,

it becomes geometric progression, as there is exponential decline.

so,

$570000,570000\times \frac{1}{3},570000\times( \frac{1}{3})^2,......,570000\times (\frac{1}{3})^6$

a=570000

common ratio is given by

$r=\frac{a_2}{a_1}=\frac{1}{3}$

number of terms = 6

Sum of terms will be given by

$S_n=\frac{a(1-r^n)}{(1-r)}$

We'll put this value in this formula,

$S_6=\frac{570000(1-(\frac{1}{3})^6}{(1-\frac{1}{3})}\\\\=853827.16$

So, there are approximately 853827 new cases in 6 years.
