-2(x+5)=6
-2x-10=6 (add 10 to both sides)
-2x=16 (divide both sides by -2)
x=-8

if the 300 inspected light bulbs represent 20% of an hour's total production of light bulbs, how many light bulbs are produced i

KIM [24]

Hi there!
So to get this we just need to multiply 300 by 5 because it is 1/5 of the hour work. 300 x 5 = 1500 light bulbs. Hope this helps!

Water is drained out of tank, shaped as an inverted right circular cone that has a radius of 4cm and a height of 16cm, at the ra

bearhunter [10]

Answer:

$\frac{dh}{dt}=-\frac{1}{2\pi}cm/min$

Step-by-step explanation:

From similar triangles, see diagram in attachment

$\frac{r}{4}=\frac{h}{16}$

We solve for $r$ to obtain,

$r=\frac{h}{4}$

The formula for calculating the volume of a cone is

$V=\frac{1}{3}\pi r^2h$

We substitute the value of $r=\frac{h}{4}$ to obtain,

$V=\frac{1}{3}\pi (\frac{h}{4})^2h$

This implies that,

$V=\frac{1}{48}\pi h^3$

We now differentiate both sides with respect to $t$ to get,

$\frac{dV}{dt}=\frac{\pi}{16}h^2 \frac{dh}{dt}$

We were given that water is drained out of the tank at a rate of $2cm^3/min$

This implies that $\frac{dV}{dt}=-2cm^3/min$ .

Since we want to determine the rate at which the depth of the water is changing at the instance when the water in the tank is 8cm deep, it means $h=8cm$ .

We substitute this values to obtain,

$-2=\frac{\pi}{16}(8)^2 \frac{dh}{dt}$

$\Rightarrow -2=4\pi \frac{dh}{dt}$

$\Rightarrow -1=2\pi \frac{dh}{dt}$

$\frac{dh}{dt}=-\frac{1}{2\pi}$

Answer:

12) $\frac{7}{3} = \frac{b}{18}$

$3b = 126$

$\frac{3b}{3} = \frac{126}{3}$

$b = 42$

13) $\frac{3.6}{m} = \frac{1.2}{3.6}$

$1.2m = 12.96$

$\frac{12m}{12} = \frac{12.96}{12}$

$m = 10.8$

14) $\frac{16}{10} = \frac{n + 2}{5}$

$80 = 10n + 20$

$80 - 20 = 10n +20 -20$

$60 = 10n$

$\frac{60}{10} = \frac{10n}{10}$

$n = 6$
