Combinatorial Enumeration. That whole class was a rollercoaster ride of mind-blowing generating functions to prove crazy things. The exam had ridiculous questions like 'count the number of cactus trees with n vertices such that etc etc etc' and you'd do three pages of terrible terrible sums and algebra. Then your final answer would be something beautiful like n/2 and you'd breath a sigh of relief and thank the math gods.
Answer:
D : 510 units
Step-by-step explanation:
NOTE:
Something to consider when solving problems like this is to break the large shape down into smaller, more managable shapes. So for this problem, you can break down this irregular shape into two rectangles. This will make solving problems similar to this easier in the future :)
WORK:
I broke down this shape into two rectangles with the following dimensions:
- 12 meters by 5 meters
- 3 meters by 14 meters
You also know that the depth has to be 5 feet (the problem itself did not account for differences in feet and meters, as when I converted the 5 feet to meters and solved that way, none of the answers were correct)
Using this information, you can now solve for the volume of each of the rectangles
12*5*5 = 300 units
3*14*5 = 210 units
Then, you simply add the two volumes together to find the total volume needed to fill the pool which equals
510 units
Here is a picture of the answer:
Answer:
2.3 feet/ second
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the rate of change, we will have to find the difference in his distance travelled and divide it by the time taken to move that distance.
This is given by rate of change = (change in position)/ change in time
From the question, his position changed from 30 ft to 100 ft thus the distance he travelled is = 100ft - 30 ft = 70 ft.
Time taken to travel this distance = 40 seconds - 10 seconds = 30 seconds
Diver's rate of travel = 70 ft / 30 seconds = 2.33333ft/second.
Rounding off the answer to the nearest tenth, we have 2.3 ft/second
