Determine the rates for all 3.

First pipe has a rate of 1/36 full per minute
Second pipe has a rate of 1/9 full per minute
Third pipe has a rate of 1/12 full per minute

So if all 3 were operating together, they would have a rate of:

1/36 + 1/9 + 1/12 = 1/36 + 4/36 + 3/36 = 8/36 = 2/9

So the rate for all 3 is: 2/9 full per minute.

So to fill up a tank:

full tank * 1min ÷ (2/9 full) = 4.5 minutes

So it would take 4 and half minutes.

The power of
The 1st pipe - 1/36
The 2nd pipe - 1/9
The 3rd pipe - 1/12

1/36+1/9+1/12=1/36+4/36+3/36=8/36

36/8=4.5

The answer is 4.5 minutes.

If y varies directly as x and y = 12 when x = 8, find y when x = 14.

Alex17521 [72]

The direct variation between x and y may be written as,
y = kx
where k is the constant of variation. From the first set of values of the variables,
12 = k(8)
the value of k is 1.5. Substituting the next set to the same equation,
y = 1.5(14)
The value of y is 21.

37. Verify Green's theorem in the plane for f (3x2- 8y2) dx + (4y - 6xy) dy, where C is the boundary of the

Nastasia [14]

I'll only look at (37) here, since

• (38) was addressed in 24438105

• (39) was addressed in 24434477

• (40) and (41) were both addressed in 24434541

In both parts, we're considering the line integral

$\displaystyle \int_C (3x^2-8y^2)\,\mathrm dx + (4y-6xy)\,\mathrm dy$

and I assume C has a positive orientation in both cases

(a) It looks like the region has the curves y = x and y = x ² as its boundary***, so that the interior of C is the set D given by

$D = \left\{(x,y) \mid 0\le x\le1 \text{ and }x^2\le y\le x\right\}$

• Compute the line integral directly by splitting up C into two component curves,

C₁ : x = t and y = t ² with 0 ≤ t ≤ 1

C₂ : x = 1 - t and y = 1 - t with 0 ≤ t ≤ 1

Then

$\displaystyle \int_C = \int_{C_1} + \int_{C_2} \\\\ = \int_0^1 \left((3t^2-8t^4)+(4t^2-6t^3)(2t))\right)\,\mathrm dt \\+ \int_0^1 \left((-5(1-t)^2)(-1)+(4(1-t)-6(1-t)^2)(-1)\right)\,\mathrm dt \\\\ = \int_0^1 (7-18t+14t^2+8t^3-20t^4)\,\mathrm dt = \boxed{\frac23}$

*** Obviously this interpretation is incorrect if the solution is supposed to be 3/2, so make the appropriate adjustment when you work this out for yourself.

• Compute the same integral using Green's theorem:

$\displaystyle \int_C (3x^2-8y^2)\,\mathrm dx + (4y-6xy)\,\mathrm dy = \iint_D \frac{\partial(4y-6xy)}{\partial x} - \frac{\partial(3x^2-8y^2)}{\partial y}\,\mathrm dx\,\mathrm dy \\\\ = \int_0^1\int_{x^2}^x 10y\,\mathrm dy\,\mathrm dx = \boxed{\frac23}$

(b) C is the boundary of the region

$D = \left\{(x,y) \mid 0\le x\le 1\text{ and }0\le y\le1-x\right\}$

• Compute the line integral directly, splitting up C into 3 components,

C₁ : x = t and y = 0 with 0 ≤ t ≤ 1

C₂ : x = 1 - t and y = t with 0 ≤ t ≤ 1

C₃ : x = 0 and y = 1 - t with 0 ≤ t ≤ 1

Then

$\displaystyle \int_C = \int_{C_1} + \int_{C_2} + \int_{C_3} \\\\ = \int_0^1 3t^2\,\mathrm dt + \int_0^1 (11t^2+4t-3)\,\mathrm dt + \int_0^1(4t-4)\,\mathrm dt \\\\ = \int_0^1 (14t^2+8t-7)\,\mathrm dt = \boxed{\frac53}$
