come out on the weekends. Jake is planning to use buckets to catch the dripping water. He places under the drip and step outside to walk the dog. After a 20 min walk, the bucket is 1/6 of the way full.
What is the rate at which the water is leaking per hour?

Answer:

half a bucket/ hour

Step-by-step explanation:

1 hour = 3 * 20 min

rate = 1/6 per 20 min

3 * 1 / 6 = 1 /2 = buckets per hour

cant do more with current information if youre asking for cm^3/hour or something like that

Transform the equation to isolate x: ax = bx + 1. How is
shepuryov [24]

Answer:

x=\frac{1}{a-b}

The value of x is inversely proportional to the difference of <em>a</em> and <em>b</em>.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is ax-bx+1

We factor the left hand side to get:

(a-b)x=1

We divide both sides by: a-b

x=\frac{1}{a-b}

Observe that the difference of a and b is in the denominator.

The whole is of the form: x\propto \frac{1}{a-b}

The value of x is inversely proportional to the difference of <em>a</em> and <em>b</em>.

A trough is 10 ft long and its ends have the shape of isosceles triangles that are 4 ft across at the top and have a height of 1
Anna11 [10]

Answer:

7.5 ft³/min

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the depth below the surface of the water. The height, h of the water is thus h = 10 - x.

Now, the volume of water V = Ah where A = area of isosceles base of trough = 1/2bh' where b = base of triangle = 4 ft and h' = height of triangle = 1 ft. So, A = 1/2 × 4 ft × 1 ft = 2 ft²

So, V = Ah = 2h = 2(10 - x)

The rate of change of volume is thus

dV/dt = d[2(10 - x)]/dt = -2dx/dt

Since dV/dt = 15 ft³/min,

dx/dt = -(dV/dt)/2 = -15 ft³/min ÷ 2 = -7.5 ft³/min

Since the height of the water is h = 10 - x, the rate at which the water level is rising is dh/dt = d[10 - x]/dt

= -dx/dt

= -(-7.5 ft³/min)

= 7.5 ft³/min

And the height at this point when x = 8 inches = 8 in × 1 ft/12 in  = 0.67 ft is h = (10 - 0.67) ft = 9.33 ft
