Answer:

675 litres
80 mL

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The total amount of oil in the two tanks at the start is ...

total oil = n + (n +150) + 0 = 2n+150 . . . . litres

The amount of oil in tank C at the end is 1/3 this amount, or

oil in tank C = (total oil)/3 = (2n+150)/3 . . . . litres

The amount pumped into tank C was 500 litres, so we have ...

(2n +150)/3 = 500

2n +150 = 1500 . . . . . . multiply by 3

2n = 1350 . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 150

1350/2 = n = 675 . . . . . divide by the coefficient of n

___

2. Let x represent the amount remaining in container A. Then 4x is the amount in tank B. Before the transfer, the amount in each container was the same, so ...

x +120 = 4x -120 . . . . . A had 120 more than remains; B had 120 less

240 = 3x . . . . . . . . add 120-x

240/3 = x = 80 . . . divide by the coefficient of x

The amount of liquid left in container A is 80 mL.

Graph the line that passes through the points (9,-8) and (9,6) and determine the

avanturin [10]

Answer:

x = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard form of equation of a line is expressed as y = mx+c

m is the slope

c is the y intercept

Note that the line does not have a slope and the x intercept of the line is a point where the line cuts the x axis. Hence the equation of the line will be expressed as x = c where c is the x intercept;

From the graph, the x intercept =9. Hence the equation of the given line is x = 9

Option 2: $4^{\frac{1}{6}}$ is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

The radical expressions like these are simplified by using fractional exponents

given

$\frac{\sqrt{4}}{\sqrt[3]{4} }$

Converting radicals into exponents

When there is no base the exponent is 1/2 and as the base is 3, the exponent will be 1/3

$=\frac{4^{\frac{1}{2}}}{4^{\frac{1}{3}}}$

As the bases of numerator and denominator is same, the exponents can be subtracted

$=4^{\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{3}}\\=4^{\frac{3-2}{6}}\\=4^{\frac{1}{6}}$

Hence,

Option 2: $4^{\frac{1}{6}}$ is the correct answer.

Solve for x on the interval [0, 2pi] Sinx = cosx + 1

lisov135 [29]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x on the interval [0, 2pi]

Given the equation

Sinx = cosx + 1

Square both sides of the equation

Sin²x = (cos x + 1)²

Sin²x = cos²x + 2cos x + 1

Since Sin²x = 1 - cos²x

1 - cos²x = cos²x + 2cos x + 1

Collect like terms

1-1-cos²x-cos²x-2cos x = 0

-2cos²x-2cos x = 0

-2cos²x = 2cos x

-cosx = 1

cos x = -1

x = arccos -1

x = 180 degrees

Hence the value of x = π
