If hot and cold water taps are turned on altogether, a bath is filled in three minutes but if the cold tap was only half opened

it would take one minute forty eight seconds longer. How long would the hot tap alone take to fill the bath?

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.

Answer:

<em>The absolute square of a complex number is calculated by multiplying it by its complex conjugate. This give the magnitude squared of the complex number. The absolute square is </em><em>A</em><em>l</em><em>w</em><em>a</em><em>y</em><em>s</em><em> </em><em>R</em><em>e</em><em>a</em><em>l</em><em>. We will use complex exponentials all the time.</em>

Let W be the subspace of R5 spanned by the vectors w1, w2, w3, w4, w5, where
Gwar [14]
To find W⊥, you can use the Gram-Schmidt process using the usual inner-product and the given 5 independent set of vectors. 

<span>Define projection of v on u as </span>
<span>p(u,v)=u*(u.v)/(u.u) </span>
<span>we need to proceed and determine u1...u5 as: </span>
<span>u1=w1 </span>
<span>u2=w2-p(u1,w2) </span>
<span>u3=w3-p(u1,w3)-p(u2,w3) </span>
<span>u4=w4-p(u1,w4)-p(u2,w4)-p(u3,w4) </span>
<span>u5=w5-p(u4,w5)-p(u2,w5)-p(u3,w5)-p(u4,w5) </span>

<span>so that u1...u5 will be the new basis of an orthogonal set of inner space. </span>

<span>However, the given set of vectors is not independent, since </span>

What is the solution(s) to the system of equations y = x² +4 and y = 2x + 4
bija089 [108]

Answer:

(x,y) = (0,4)~ \text{and}~ (x,y) = (2,8)

Step by step explanation:

y = x^2 +4~~~~~~~~~...(i)\\\\y = 2x +4~~~~~~~~~...(ii)\\\\\text{From (i) and (ii):}\\\\~~~~~~x^2 +4 = 2x+4\\\\\implies x^2 = 2x\\\\\implies x^2 -2x = 0\\\\\implies x(x-2) = 0\\\\\implies x =0,~ x = 2

\text{Substitute x = 0 in eq (i):}\\\\y = 0^2 +4 = 4\\\\\text{Substitute x = 2 in eq (i):}\\\\y=2^2+4 = 4+4 = 8\\\\\text{Hence,}~ (x,y)= \{(2,8), (0,4)\}
