Elle placed a bucket under a leaky roof. The bucket was 310 full after 25 of an hour. How much water is leaking per hour?

Mathematics

kvasek [131]2 years ago

Answer:

3/4 bucket

Step-by-step explanation:

Elle placed a bucket under a leaky roof. The bucket was 3/10 full after 2/5 of an hour. How much water is leaking per hour

Water leaking : time taken

Let x = amount of water leaking per hour

3/10 : 2/5 = x : 1

3/10 ÷ 2/5 = x / 1

3/10 × 5/2 = x / 1

15 / 20 = x / 1

Cross product

15 * 1 = 20 * x

15 = 20x

x = 15/20

= 3/4

3/4 bucket of water is leaking per hour

A 15 foot flagpole casts an 11 foot shadow. At the exact same time a 28 foot tree casts a shadow. Which proportion would correct
marishachu [46]
The longer an object, the longer the shadow they cast at a given time of the day and vice versa. This is called direct proportionality. At the same time,

If 15 foot flagpole ---- casts 11 foot shandow
    28 foot tree -------- casts ?? foot shadow

The proportion would therefore be:

Length of shadow cast by tree = (28/15)*11 = 20.533 foot.

The graph below represents the solution set of which inequality?
natulia [17]

Answer:

option: B (x^2+2x-8) is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the solution set as seen from the graph as:

(-4,2)

1)

On solving the first inequality we have:

x^2-2x-8

On using the method of splitting the middle term we have:

x^2-4x+2x-8

⇒  x(x-4)+2(x-4)=0

⇒ (x+2)(x-4)

And we know that the product of two quantities are negative if either one of them is negative so we have two cases:

case 1:

x+2>0 and x-4

i.e. x>-2 and x<4

so we have the region as:

(-2,4)

Case 2:

x+2 and x-4>0

i.e. x<-2 and x>4

Hence, we did not get a common region.

Hence from both the cases we did not get the required region.

Hence, option 1 is incorrect.

2)

We are given the second inequality as:

x^2+2x-8

On using the method of splitting the middle term we have:

x^2+4x-2x-8

⇒ x(x+4)-2(x+4)

⇒ (x-2)(x+4)

And we know that the product of two quantities are negative if either one of them is negative so we have two cases:

case 1:

x-2>0 and x+4

i.e. x>2 and x<-4

Hence, we do not get a common region.

Case 2:

x-2 and x+4>0

i.e. x<2 and x>-4

Hence the common region is (-4,2) which is same as the given option.

Hence, option B is correct.

3)

x^2-2x-8>0

On using the method of splitting the middle term we have:

x^2-4x+2x-8>0

⇒ x(x-4)+2(x-4)>0

⇒ (x-4)(x+2)>0

And we know that the product of two quantities are positive if either both of them are negative or both of them are positive so we have two cases:

Case 1:

x+2>0 and x-4>0

i.e. x>-2 and x>4

Hence, the common region is (4,∞)

Case 2:

x+2 and x-4

i.e. x<-2 and x<4

Hence, the common region is: (-∞,-2)

Hence, from both the cases we did not get the desired answer.

Hence, option C is incorrect.

4)

x^2+2x-8>0

On using the method of splitting the middle term we have:

x^2+4x-2x-8>0

⇒ x(x+4)-2(x+4)>0

⇒ (x-2)(X+4)>0

And we know that the product of two quantities are positive if either both of them are negative or both of them are positive so we have two cases:

Case 1:

x-2 and x+4

i.e. x<2 and x<-4

Hence, the common region is: (-∞,-4)

Case 2:

x-2>0 and x+4>0

i.e. x>2 and x>-4.

Hence, the common region is: (2,∞)

Hence from both the case we do not have the desired region.

Hence, option D is incorrect.

If the price of a gallon of gas was $0.89 in 1984 and was $3.59 in 2014, what was the average rate of change in the price per ga
mylen [45]

Answer:

0.09

Step-by-step explanation:

avg rate of change is:  change in y/ change in x

so it´d be   3.59 - 0.89 / 2014 - 1984

= 2.7/ 30

= 0.09

note:

The slope formula and the average rate of change formula are the same, just written a bit different, so you could also use:

y2 - y1 / x2 - x1

Normal probability Density Function Use a graphing utility to graph the model probability density function with µ = 0 and ð = 2,
Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

The standard deviation (δ) is a measure of variability, this means, it shows how dispersed the data set is with respect to the mean. The population mean (μ) is a measurement of position. The three graphics have the same position μ=0 but their standard deviations change, this means, the form of their bells is different. The greater the value of the standard deviation, the more dispersed the data is you can see this graphically because the width of the bell will be greater.

Graph attached.

I hope it helps!
