Answer:

  12 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let c and h represent the filling times for the cold and hot taps, respectively. When the cold tap is 1/2 open, we presume that means the filling time becomes 2c.

In terms of baths per minute, the relationships are ...

  1/c + 1/h = 1/3

  1/(2c) +1/h = 1/(3 +1.8) . . . . . 1:48 min:sec is 1.8 minutes

Subtracting the first equation from twice the second, we get ...

  2(1/(2c) +1/h) -(1/c +1/h) = 2(1/4.8) -(1/3)

  1/h = 2/4.8 -1/3 = 1/12

  h = 12

It takes the hot tap 12 minutes to fill the tub alone.

Express in partial fraction
aksik [14]

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>There is one possible way:</u>

  • (4x² - 47x + 141)/(x² + 13x + 40) =
  • (4x² + 4*13x + 4*40 - 47x - 52x - 160 + 141)/(x² + 13x + 40) =
  • 4  - (99x + 19)/(x² + 13x + 40)

Answer:

The values of 'x' are -1.2, 0, 0, -4i or 4i.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The equation to solve is given as:

5x^5+6x^4+80x^3+96x^2=0

Factoring x^2 from all the terms, we get:

x^2(5x^3+6x^2+80x+96)=0

Now, rearranging the terms, we get:

x^2(5x^3+80x+6x^2+96)=0

Now, factoring 5x from the first two terms and 6 from the last two terms, we get:

x^2(5x(x^2+16)+6(x^2+16))=0\\x^2(x^2+16)(5x+6)=0

Now, equating each factor to 0 and solving for 'x', we get:

x^2=0\\x=0\ and\ 0\\\\5x+6=0\\x=\frac{-6}{5}=1.2\\\\x^2+16=0\\x^2=-16\\x=\sqrt{-16}=\pm 4i

There are 3 real values and 2 imaginary values. The value of 'x' as 0 is repeated twice.

Therefore, the values of 'x' are -1.2, 0, 0, -4i or 4i.
