Suppose that the water level of a river is 34 feet and that it is receding at a rate of 0.5 foot per day. Write an equation for
vivado [14]

Answer:

The equation to represent the rate of receding water level is                     L = 34 (0.5)^{d}   .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The initial level of water in river = 34 feet

The rate of receding water level = 0.5 foot per day

Or, The rate of percentage of receding water level = 50 % per day

Let the level of water after d days = L

Now,

The level of water after d days = initial level of water × ( (1-\dfrac{\textrm Rate}{100})^{Time}

I.e L = 34 × ( (1-\dfrac{\textrm 50}{100})^{d}

∴  L = 34 × (0.5)^{d}

Hence The equation to represent the rate of receding water level is                L = 34 (0.5)^{d}   . Answer

SVEN [57.7K]
A farm had 480 acres more wheat than corn. Let use "W" to represent the Wheat and let use "C" to represent the corn. Hence, we have below:
W=C+480

The farmers collected 80% of the wheat and 25% of the corn and the area of the wheat is 300 acres less than the area of the corn:
W-0.8W=C-0.25C+300
0.2W=0.75C+300
We have two equations, two unknowns:
0.2(C+480)=0.75C+300
0.2C+96=0.75C+300
0.55C=294
C=534.55

In a G.P the difference between the 1st and 5th term is 150, and the difference between the
liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

Either \displaystyle \frac{-1522}{\sqrt{41}} (approximately -238) or \displaystyle \frac{1522}{\sqrt{41}} (approximately 238.)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a denote the first term of this geometric series, and let r denote the common ratio of this geometric series.

The first five terms of this series would be:

  • a,
  • a\cdot r,
  • a \cdot r^2,
  • a \cdot r^3,
  • a \cdot r^4.

First equation:

a\, r^4 - a = 150.

Second equation:

a\, r^3 - a\, r = 48.

Rewrite and simplify the first equation.

\begin{aligned}& a\, r^4 - a \\ &= a\, \left(r^4 - 1\right)\\ &= a\, \left(r^2 - 1\right) \, \left(r^2 + 1\right) \end{aligned}.

Therefore, the first equation becomes:

a\, \left(r^2 - 1\right) \, \left(r^2 + 1\right) = 150..

Similarly, rewrite and simplify the second equation:

\begin{aligned}&a\, r^3 - a\, r\\ &= a\, \left( r^3 - r\right) \\ &= a\, r\, \left(r^2 - 1\right) \end{aligned}.

Therefore, the second equation becomes:

a\, r\, \left(r^2 - 1\right) = 48.

Take the quotient between these two equations:

\begin{aligned}\frac{a\, \left(r^2 - 1\right) \, \left(r^2 + 1\right)}{a\cdot r\, \left(r^2 - 1\right)} = \frac{150}{48}\end{aligned}.

Simplify and solve for r:

\displaystyle \frac{r^2+ 1}{r} = \frac{25}{8}.

8\, r^2 - 25\, r + 8 = 0.

Either \displaystyle r = \frac{25 - 3\, \sqrt{41}}{16} or \displaystyle r = \frac{25 + 3\, \sqrt{41}}{16}.

Assume that \displaystyle r = \frac{25 - 3\, \sqrt{41}}{16}. Substitute back to either of the two original equations to show that \displaystyle a = -\frac{497\, \sqrt{41}}{41} - 75.

Calculate the sum of the first five terms:

\begin{aligned} &a + a\cdot r + a\cdot r^2 + a\cdot r^3 + a \cdot r^4\\ &= -\frac{1522\sqrt{41}}{41} \approx -238\end{aligned}.

Similarly, assume that \displaystyle r = \frac{25 + 3\, \sqrt{41}}{16}. Substitute back to either of the two original equations to show that \displaystyle a = \frac{497\, \sqrt{41}}{41} - 75.

Calculate the sum of the first five terms:

\begin{aligned} &a + a\cdot r + a\cdot r^2 + a\cdot r^3 + a \cdot r^4\\ &= \frac{1522\sqrt{41}}{41} \approx 238\end{aligned}.

I WILL GIVE 20 POINTS TO THOSE WHO ANSWER THIS QUESTION RIGHT NOOOO SCAMS AND EXPLAIN WHY THAT IS THE ANSWER. Find the values of
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Step-by-step explanation:

I am not sure this is a square.

this could be a rectangle.

to be safe, I am following that path.

in a rectangle opposite sides are of equal length.

that means

y - 1 = 2y - 7

y = 2y - 6

0 = y - 6

y = 6

3x - 4 = 3y - 13

3x - 4 = 3×6 - 13

3x - 4 = 18 - 13 = 5

3x = 9

x = 3

as it turns out, it is a square, so we could have used every side expression to be equal with every other side expression, but better safe than sorry ...
