Mike discovered that the pool in his backyard is leaking slowly. The pool holds 17,897 gallons of water, and is leaking at a rat

e of 5 gallons per day. If Mike does not replace the water that has leaked from the pool, how many gallons of water will remain in the pool after 187 days?

Answer:

Gallons of water remaining = 16,962 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

Total capacity of the pool = 17,897 gallons

Rate of leakage per day = 5 gallons

Number of days = 187 days

how many gallons of water will remain in the pool after 187 days?

Gallons of water remaining = Total capacity of the pool - (Rate of leakage per day × Number of days

= 17,897 - (5 × 187)

= 17,897 - 935

= 16,962 gallons

Gallons of water remaining = 16,962 gallons

What number is greater 0.111 or 1.001. also 1.11 or 1.01

Paul [167]

1.001 is greater than 0.111 because the 1 is automatically greater than zero. 1.11 is greater than 1.01 because there is a place in the tenths place in 1.11 but none for 1.01.

Which is the inverse of the function a(d)=5d-3? And use the definition of inverse functions to prove a(d) and a-1(d) are inverse

Drupady [299]

Answer:

$a'(d) = \frac{d}{5} + \frac{3}{5}$

$a(a'(d)) = a'(a(d)) = d$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$a(d) = 5d - 3$

Solving (a): Write as inverse function

$a(d) = 5d - 3$

Represent a(d) as y

$y = 5d - 3$

Swap positions of d and y

$d = 5y - 3$

Make y the subject

$5y = d + 3$

$y = \frac{d}{5} + \frac{3}{5}$

Replace y with a'(d)

$a'(d) = \frac{d}{5} + \frac{3}{5}$

Prove that a(d) and a'(d) are inverse functions

$a'(d) = \frac{d}{5} + \frac{3}{5}$ and $a(d) = 5d - 3$

To do this, we prove that:

$a(a'(d)) = a'(a(d)) = d$

Solving for $a(a'(d))$

$a(a'(d)) = a(\frac{d}{5} + \frac{3}{5})$

Substitute $\frac{d}{5} + \frac{3}{5}$ for d in $a(d) = 5d - 3$

$a(a'(d)) = 5(\frac{d}{5} + \frac{3}{5}) - 3$

$a(a'(d)) = \frac{5d}{5} + \frac{15}{5} - 3$

$a(a'(d)) = d + 3 - 3$

$a(a'(d)) = d$

Solving for: $a'(a(d))$

$a'(a(d)) = a'(5d - 3)$

Substitute 5d - 3 for d in $a'(d) = \frac{d}{5} + \frac{3}{5}$

$a'(a(d)) = \frac{5d - 3}{5} + \frac{3}{5}$

Add fractions

$a'(a(d)) = \frac{5d - 3+3}{5}$

$a'(a(d)) = \frac{5d}{5}$

$a'(a(d)) = d$

Hence:

$a(a'(d)) = a'(a(d)) = d$
