An oil tank has to be drained for maintenance. The tank is shaped like a cylinder that is 4 ft long with a diameter of 2.2 ft. S

uppose oil is drained at a
rate of 1.5 per minute. If the tank starts completely full, how many minutes will it take to empty the tank?
Use the value 3.14 for, and round your answer to the nearest minute. Do not round any intermediate computations.

Answer:

8\:\mathrm{minutes}

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a cylinder is given as:

r^2\cdot\pi\cdot h

Since the diameter is 2.2, the radius is \frac{2.2}{2}=1.1.

Therefore, the volume of this cylinder is:

1.1^2\cdot 3.14\cdot 4=15.1976\:\mathrm{ft^3}, using \pi=3.14 as requested in the problem.

Since the tank is emptied at a constant rate of 1.5\:\mathrm{ft^3\:per\:minute}, it will take

\frac{15.1976}{1.5}=7.5988=\fbox{$8\:\mathrm{minutes}$} to empty the tank.

Which system of equations is consistent and dependent?
MAXImum [283]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

4x − y = −11

2x + 3y = 5

lets multiply the second equation by -2 and add it to the first:

4x − y = −11

-4x - 6y = -10

------------------

0  - 7y = -21

y = -21/-7

y = 3

now we substitute this result in the first equation to find x:

4x − y = −11

4x - 3 = -11

4x = -8

x = -8/4

x = 2

so the solution is y = 3 and x =2

4x − 9y = −21

−10y = −30

we solve for y

−10y = −30

y = -30/-10

y = 3

and substitute in the first equation:

4x − 9y = −21

4x − 9(3) = −21

4x - 27 = -21

4x = 6

x = 6/4 = 3/2

so the solution is x = 3/2 and y = 3

4x + 3y = 5

2y = −6

we solve for y:

2y = −6

y = -6/2

y = -3

we do substitute in the first equation:

4x + 3y = 5

4x + 3(-3) = 5

4x - 9 = 5

4x = 14

x = 14/4

x = 7/2

so the solution is x = 7/2 and y = -3

7x − 3y = −11

9x = −6

we solve for x:

9x = −6

x = -6/9

x = -2/3

then we substitute in the first equation the result found:

7x − 3y = −11

7(-2/3) − 3y = −11

-14/3 - 3y = -11

we multiply by 3 to eliminate fractions:

-14 - 9y = -33

9y = 19

y = 19/9

so the solution is x = -2/3 and y = 19/9

12x − 3y = −33

14x = −28

we solve for x:

14x = −28

x = -28/14

x = -2

then we substitute in the first equation:

12x − 3y = −33

12(-2) − 3y = −33

-24 - 3y = -33

3y = 9

y = 3

then the solution is x = -2 and y = 3

Forensic specialists can estimate the height of a deceased person from the lengths of the person's bones. These lengths are subs
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

130.2845\leq h\leq 137.7245

Step-by-step explanation:

Given an inequality that relates the height h, in centimeters, of an adult female and the length f, in centimeters, of her femur by the equation

|h - (2.47f + 54.10)| \leq  3.72

If an adult female measures her femur as 32.25 centimeters, we can determine the possible range of her height by plugging f = 32.25cm into the modelled equation as shown:

|h - (2.47(32.25) + 54.10)| \leq  3.72\\|h - (79.9045 + 54.10)| \leq  3.72\\|h - (134.0045)| \leq  3.72\\

If the modulus function is positive then:

h - 134.0045 \leq  3.72\\h \leq 3.71+134.0045\\h\leq 137.7245

If the modulus function is negative then:

-(h - 134.0045) \leq  3.72\\-h+134.0045 \leq 3.72\\-h\leq 3.72-134.0045\\-h\leq -130.2845\\

multiply through by -1

-(-h)\geq  -(-130.2845)\\h\geq 130.2845\\130.2845\leq h

combining the resulting inequalities, the estimate of the possible range of heights will be 130.2845\leq h\leq 137.7245

A car moving at a constant speed passed a timing device at t=0. After 9 ​seconds, the car has traveled 837 ft. Write a linear fu
diamong [38]

Answer:

at t=0 the car has moved 0 feet, also you know it has a constant speed so you get the points:

P1:(0,0) therefore you know b, the y-intercept=0

P2:(8,840)

insert P2 into y=mx+b

840=8m+0

840/8=m

105=m

so the result is:

y=105x=105t=f(t)=d
