If the US released 5.877 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide and 1 trillion pounds=0.4536 billion metric tons, how many trilli

Answer: 12.96 trillion pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are informed that:

1 trillion pounds = 0.4536 billion metric tons

Therefore, if the US released 5.877 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide, the trillions of pounds of carbon dioxide that the US release will be:

= 5.877 / 0.4536

= 12.96 trillion pounds

Initially a tank contains 10 liters of pure water. Brine of unknown (but constant) concentration of salt is flowing in at 1 lite

zhenek [66]

Answer:

Therefore the concentration of salt in the incoming brine is 1.73 g/L.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here the amount of incoming and outgoing of water are equal. Then the amount of water in the tank remain same = 10 liters.

Let the concentration of salt be a gram/L

Let the amount salt in the tank at any time t be Q(t).

$\frac{dQ}{dt} =\textrm {incoming rate - outgoing rate}$

Incoming rate = (a g/L)×(1 L/min)

=a g/min

The concentration of salt in the tank at any time t is = $\frac{Q(t)}{10}$ g/L

Outgoing rate = $(\frac{Q(t)}{10} g/L)(1 L/ min)$ $\frac{Q(t)}{10} g/min$

$\frac{dQ}{dt} = a- \frac{Q(t)}{10}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{dQ}{10a-Q(t)} =\frac{1}{10} dt$

Integrating both sides

$\Rightarrow \int \frac{dQ}{10a-Q(t)} =\int\frac{1}{10} dt$

$\Rightarrow -log|10a-Q(t)|=\frac{1}{10} t +c$ [ where c arbitrary constant]

Initial condition when t= 20 , Q(t)= 15 gram

$\Rightarrow -log|10a-15|=\frac{1}{10}\times 20 +c$

$\Rightarrow -log|10a-15|-2=c$

Therefore ,

$-log|10a-Q(t)|=\frac{1}{10} t -log|10a-15|-2$ .......(1)

In the starting time t=0 and Q(t)=0

Putting t=0 and Q(t)=0 in equation (1) we get

$- log|10a|= -log|10a-15| -2$

$\Rightarrow- log|10a|+log|10a-15|= -2$

$\Rightarrow log|\frac{10a-15}{10a}|= -2$

$\Rightarrow |\frac{10a-15}{10a}|=e ^{-2}$

$\Rightarrow 1-\frac{15}{10a} =e^{-2}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{15}{10a} =1-e^{-2}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{3}{2a} =1-e^{-2}$

$\Rightarrow2a= \frac{3}{1-e^{-2}}$

$\Rightarrow a = 1.73$

Therefore the concentration of salt in the incoming brine is 1.73 g/L

Select the correct answer.<br> Which function is the inverse of function<br> f(x) = -2

Artemon [7]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

let f(x) = y and rearrange making x the subject

y = $\frac{x+2}{7}$ ( multiply both sides by 7 to clear the fraction )

7y = x + 2 ( subtract 2 from both sides )

7y - 2 = x

Change y back into terms of x with x the inverse function, that is

p(x) = 7x - 2

How to Graph of y=1/2x-4

Advocard [28]

Answer and explanation:

We know that this is in slope-intercept form. ( y = mx + b )

1/2 would be the slope (you would use this to graph the next point)

-4 would by your y-intercept (where the line crosses the x-axis)

With this information you could graph any point using the slope given, starting at -4 (x-axis) going down or up.

How do i solve for x

Vladimir79 [104]

Multiply both sides by 2 to clear the fraction.
-3x + 6 <= 24
subtract 6 from both sides.
-3 x <= 18
divide both sides by -3, since you're dividing an inequality by a negative number you have to change the direction of the inequality sign.
x >= -6
