Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say

d1 the outflow of the first pump

d2 the outflow of the second pump

V=1 is the volume of the tank

Since the second pump takes twice as long as the first to fill the tank,

V=1=k*d_1*t\\V=1=k*d_2*(2*t)\\==>\ d_1=2*d_2\\\\

Two pumps can fill a pool tank in 26 hours when working together:

V=1=k*(d_1+d_2)*26 \ ==> V=1=k*(3*d_2)*26 \  ==>k=\dfrac{1}{3*d_2*26} \\\\

How long does it take the first pump alone to fill the tank:

V=1=k*d_1*t=k*2*d_2*t=k*3d_2*26\\2*t=3*26\\\\t=\frac{3*26}{2} \\\\t=3*13\\\\t=39\ (hours)

Jason wants to fill a cylindrical water tank to its full capacity. He knows that the volume of the tank is equal to the product
almond37 [142]

Answer:

The answer is B ⇒ \sqrt{\frac{V}{15\pi }}=10

Step-by-step explanation:

∵ v = π r² h

∴ r² = \frac{V}{\pi h }

∴ r = \sqrt{\frac{V}{\pi h}}

∵ r = 10 ft and h = 15 ft

∴ 10=\sqrt{\frac{V}{15\pi } }

Find each function value<br><br>1. f(7) if (x)=5x<br><br>2. f(4) if f(x)=3x-1
Inessa [10]

<u>ANSWER</u>

1. \:  \: f(7) = 35

2. \: f(4) = 11

<u>EXPLANATION</u>

To find the value of a function, f(x) at a given value x=a, we plug in x=a into f(x) to obtain f(a) in simplified form.

The first function is

f(x) = 5x

To find f(7), we substitute x=7, into the function.

\implies f(7) =5(7) =  5 \times 7 = 35

The second function is

f(x) = 3x - 1

To find f(4), we replace x with 4 to obtain,

f(4) = 3(4) - 1

f(4) = 12 - 1 = 11

A shop has a sale that offers 20% off all prices.On the final day reduce all the sale prices by 25%.Linz buys a radio on the fin
Mrac [35]

Answer:

40%

Step-by-step explanation:

Original price = x

Sale = 20% off

20% / 100 = 0.2 to convert from a percent to a decimal

Sale = x - 20% of x = x - 0.2x = 0.8x

Sale price = y = 0.8x

Reduction of sale prices = 25% = 0.25

Reduction = y - 25% of y = y - 0.25y = 0.75y

End price in terms of original price (x):

0.75y = 0.75(0.8)x

          = 0.6x

End price = 0.6 or 60% of original price, coming out to a 100-60 = 40% overall percentage reduction
