A landscaper buys 1 gallon of plant fertilizer. He uses 1/5 of the fertilizer, and then divides the rest into 3 smaller bottles.

How much does he put in each bottle?

Answer:

4/15 gallon per bottle

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we find the remaining fraction of fertilizer after using 1/5. Using our fraction calculator, we see:

1 - 1/5 = 4/5

To find the amount of fertilizer per bottle, we then divide 4/5 by 3 and we get:

4/15 gallon per bottle

How do I solve this math problem

Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

Cross Multiply.

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply the denominator (3) of one side and the numerator (n).

Then, multiply the numerator (2) of on side and the denominator (4) of the other.

3n = 8

You divide both sides by 3 to have n be by itself, equaling ~2.6 or 8/3.

The length l, width w, and height h of a box change with time. At a certain instant the dimensions are l = 3 m and w = h = 6 m,

Gemiola [76]

Answer:

a) The rate of change associated with the volume of the box is 54 cubic meters per second, b) The rate of change associated with the surface area of the box is 18 square meters per second, c) The rate of change of the length of the diagonal is -1 meters per second.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Given that box is a parallelepiped, the volume of the parallelepiped, measured in cubic meters, is represented by this formula:

$V = w \cdot h \cdot l$

Where:

$w$ - Width, measured in meters.

$h$ - Height, measured in meters.

$l$ - Length, measured in meters.

The rate of change in the volume of the box, measured in cubic meters per second, is deducted by deriving the volume function in terms of time:

$\dot V = h\cdot l \cdot \dot w + w\cdot l \cdot \dot h + w\cdot h \cdot \dot l$

Where $\dot w$ , $\dot h$ and $\dot l$ are the rates of change related to the width, height and length, measured in meters per second.

Given that $w = 6\,m$ , $h = 6\,m$ , $l = 3\,m$ , $\dot w =3\,\frac{m}{s}$ , $\dot h = -6\,\frac{m}{s}$ and $\dot l = 3\,\frac{m}{s}$ , the rate of change in the volume of the box is:

$\dot V = (6\,m)\cdot (3\,m)\cdot \left(3\,\frac{m}{s} \right)+(6\,m)\cdot (3\,m)\cdot \left(-6\,\frac{m}{s} \right)+(6\,m)\cdot (6\,m)\cdot \left(3\,\frac{m}{s}\right)$

$\dot V = 54\,\frac{m^{3}}{s}$

The rate of change associated with the volume of the box is 54 cubic meters per second.

b) The surface area of the parallelepiped, measured in square meters, is represented by this model:

$A_{s} = 2\cdot (w\cdot l + l\cdot h + w\cdot h)$

The rate of change in the surface area of the box, measured in square meters per second, is deducted by deriving the surface area function in terms of time:

$\dot A_{s} = 2\cdot (l+h)\cdot \dot w + 2\cdot (w+h)\cdot \dot l + 2\cdot (w+l)\cdot \dot h$

Given that $w = 6\,m$ , $h = 6\,m$ , $l = 3\,m$ , $\dot w =3\,\frac{m}{s}$ , $\dot h = -6\,\frac{m}{s}$ and $\dot l = 3\,\frac{m}{s}$ , the rate of change in the surface area of the box is:

$\dot A_{s} = 2\cdot (6\,m + 3\,m)\cdot \left(3\,\frac{m}{s} \right) + 2\cdot (6\,m+6\,m)\cdot \left(3\,\frac{m}{s} \right) + 2\cdot (6\,m + 3\,m)\cdot \left(-6\,\frac{m}{s} \right)$

$\dot A_{s} = 18\,\frac{m^{2}}{s}$

The rate of change associated with the surface area of the box is 18 square meters per second.

c) The length of the diagonal, measured in meters, is represented by the following Pythagorean identity:

$r^{2} = w^{2}+h^{2}+l^{2}$

The rate of change in the surface area of the box, measured in square meters per second, is deducted by deriving the surface area function in terms of time before simplification:

$2\cdot r \cdot \dot r = 2\cdot w \cdot \dot w + 2\cdot h \cdot \dot h + 2\cdot l \cdot \dot l$

$r\cdot \dot r = w\cdot \dot w + h\cdot \dot h + l\cdot \dot l$

$\dot r = \frac{w\cdot \dot w + h \cdot \dot h + l \cdot \dot l}{\sqrt{w^{2}+h^{2}+l^{2}}}$

Given that $w = 6\,m$ , $h = 6\,m$ , $l = 3\,m$ , $\dot w =3\,\frac{m}{s}$ , $\dot h = -6\,\frac{m}{s}$ and $\dot l = 3\,\frac{m}{s}$ , the rate of change in the length of the diagonal of the box is:

$\dot r = \frac{(6\,m)\cdot \left(3\,\frac{m}{s} \right)+(6\,m)\cdot \left(-6\,\frac{m}{s} \right)+(3\,m)\cdot \left(3\,\frac{m}{s} \right)}{\sqrt{(6\,m)^{2}+(6\,m)^{2}+(3\,m)^{2}}}$

$\dot r = -1\,\frac{m}{s}$

The rate of change of the length of the diagonal is -1 meters per second.

Which function has a maximum with the same maximum value as..?

Bad White [126]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

C. -√(x+6) -2

Step-by-step explanation:

The functions x², √x, and |x| all have ranges that are non-negative values. This means the range of the given function f(x) = -|x+3|-2 will be values that are at most 2.

The ranges of the offered answer choices are ...

A. y ≥ -3

B. y ≥ -2

C. y ≤ -2 . . . . . matches that of the given function

D. y ≤ -3

2x+2y=-2 y = x + 5 please hurry!

larisa [96]

Answer:

2x+2y=x+5

(move the x next to the 2y)

= 2x+2y-x=5

(the x is negative because i moved it)

(collect the like terms)

= x+2y=5

(so the answer is...)

x+2y=5
