At time t=0 hours, a tank contains 3000 litres of water. Water leaks from the tank. At the end of every hour there is x% less wa

ter in the tank than at the start of the hour. The volume of water, in litres, in the tank at time t hours is Vt. Given that Vt=KtV0 V2=2881.2 work out the value of k and the value of x.

Answer:

x = 2; K = 0.98

Step-by-step explanation:

At time, t = 0, Volume of Water = 3,000 litres

After t hours , the Volume of water in the tank = Vt

At the end of every hour there is a x% less water in the tank then at the start of the hour

After 1 hour, volume of water left Vt = V1

V1 = 3,000 - 3000 × (x/100)

V1 = 3,000 - 30x

After 2 hours, Volume of water left is V2

V2 = (3,000 - 30 x) - (3,000 - 30 x) × (x/100)

V2 = (3,000 - 30 x) - (3000x - 30x²)/100

V2 = {100(3000 - 30x) - x(3000 - 30x)} /100

V2 = {(3000 - 30x)(100 - x)}/100

Recall, V2 = 2881.2

Therefore

{(3000 - 30x)(100 - x)}/100 = 2881.2

(3000 - 30x)(100 - x) = 288120

300000 - 3000 x - 3000 x + 30 x² = 288120

30 x ² - 6000 x + 11880 = 0

Dividing both sides by 30

x² - 200 x + 396=0

Factorizing:

(x -198)(x-2) = 0

x = 198 or x = 2

Since the percentage by which the water reduces cannot be greater than 100, x = 2 is chosen.

Step 2: Solving for k

Given that Vt=KtV0

K = Vt/V0

At t = 1

V1 = 3000 - 30x

V1 = 3000 - 30 × 2

V1 = 3000 - 60

V1 = 2940

K = 2940/3000

K = 0.98

Answer:

okay let's start

Step-by-step explanation:

3\% =  \frac{3}{100}  \\  = 0.03 \\ total \: sales \:  = 150000 \\ 0.03 \times 150000 = 4500 \\ \: for \: a \: month \\ therefore \: for \: a \: year \\ 4500 \times 12 = 54000 \\  \\ the \: answer \: is \: d

Answer:

An exponential function is a function of the form

f(x)=bx

where b≠1 is a positive real number. The domain of an exponential function is (−∞,∞) and the range is (0,∞).

Solve the equation: 52x−3=752x−3=7.

Since we can’t easily rewrite both sides as exponentials with the same base, we’ll use logarithms instead. Above we said that logb(x)=ylogb⁡(x)=y means that by=xby=x. That statement means that each exponential equation has an equivalent logarithmic form and vice-versa. We’ll convert to a logarithmic equation and solve from there.

52x−3log

⎛⎝⎜

⎞⎠⎟=7=2x−352x−3=7log5

⁡(7

)=2x−3

From here, we can solve for xx directly.

2xx=log5(7)+3=log5(7)+32

A logarithmic function is a function defined as follows

logb(x)=ymeans thatby=xlogb⁡(x)=ymeans thatby=x

where b≠1b≠1 is a positive real number. The domain of a logarithmic function is (0,∞)(0,∞) and the range is (−∞,∞)(−∞,∞).

Solve the equation:

log3(2x+1)=1−log3(x+2).log3⁡(2x+1)=1−log3⁡(x+2).

With more than one logarithm, we’ll typically try to use the properties of logarithms to combine them into a single term.

log3(2x+1)log3(2x+1)+log3(x+2)log3((2x+1)(x+2))log3(2x2+5x+2)2x2+5x+22x2+5x−1=1−log3(x+2)=1=1=1=3=0log3⁡(2x+1)=1−log3⁡(x+2)log3⁡(2x+1)+log3⁡(x+2)=1log3⁡((2x+1)(x+2))=1log3⁡(2x2+5x+2)=12x2+5x+2=32x2+5x−1=0

Let’s use quadratic formula to solve this.

x=−5±52−4⋅2⋅−1−−−−−−−−−−−√2⋅2=−5±

−−−−−−−−⎷4.x=−5±52−4⋅2⋅−12⋅2=−5±33
