Answer: In 20 minutes, tanks A and B will each have 120 gallons remaining in them.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation, the amount at which they will be equal, represents the given starting amounts minus the gal/min times the unknown time in minutes, m.

220 - 5m = 180 - 3m Subtract 180 from both sides; add 5m to both sides.

220-180 -5m +5m = 180-180 +5m - 3m Combine like terms

40 = 2m Divide both sides by 2

20 = m

Check: Substitute 20 for m in the equation

220 - 5(20) = 180 - 3(20)

220 - 100 = 180 -60

120 = 120 True!

What are the x-intercepts of y=sin(x)+1

Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

$x = n\pi + ( { - 1)}^{n} \times \frac{3\pi}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find the x-intercepts of

$y = \sin(x) + 1$

At x-intercept, y=0.

$0 = \sin(x) + 1$

$\sin(x) = - 1$

Take sine inverse of both sides to get:

$x = { \sin }^{ - 1} ( - 1)$

$x = n\pi + ( { - 1)}^{n} { \sin }^{ - 1} ( 1)$

The x-intercepts are:

$x = n\pi + ( { - 1)}^{n} \times \frac{3\pi}{2}$

for n being an integer

In the diagram, CA is tangent to circle P. The e

Alecsey [184]

Answer:

C. 15 cm

Explanation:

The radius is the same in a circle. PA and PB has same length of 8 cm.

In order to find AC, find the length of PA and PC.

Here given:

PA = 8 cm

PC = PB + BC = 8 cm + 9 cm = 17 cm

Hence solve using Pythagoras theorem:

a² + b² = c²

AC² + PA² = PC²

AC² + 8² = 17²

AC² = 289 - 64

AC = √225

AC = 15
