$\bf \qquad \qquad \textit{inverse proportional variation}\\\\

-------------------------------\\\\
\textit{time it takes to fill a tank varies inversely with the water rate}\\\\
t=\cfrac{k}{w}\quad 
\begin{cases}
t=\textit{time to fill}\\
w=\textit{water rate}
\end{cases}$

$\bf \textit{we also know that }
\begin{cases}
w=\stackrel{g/min}{8}\\
t=\stackrel{min}{45}
\end{cases}\implies 45=\cfrac{k}{8}\implies 360=k
\\\\\\
therefore\qquad \boxed{t=\cfrac{360}{w}}
\\\\\\
\textit{now if w = 15, what is \underline{t}?}\qquad t=\cfrac{360}{15}$

Please helpppppp, i'm stuck

Answer:

The operations you see with you eyes are multiplication and addition.

4 times X plus 2 = 10

The operations you don't see are Subtraction and Division.

4x+2=10

Subtract 2 from both sides.

4x+2−2=10−2

4x=8

Divide both sides by 4.

4x/4 = 8/4

x=2

During optimal conditions, the rate of change of the population of a certain organism is proportional to the population at time

Lana71 [14]

Answer:

The population is of 500 after 10.22 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

The rate of change of the population of a certain organism is proportional to the population at time t, in hours.

This means that the population can be modeled by the following differential equation:

$\frac{dP}{dt} = Pr$

In which r is the growth rate.

Solving by separation of variables, then integrating both sides, we have that:

$\frac{dP}{P} = r dt$

$\int \frac{dP}{P} = \int r dt$

$\ln{P} = rt + K$

Applying the exponential to both sides:

$P(t) = Ke^{rt}$

In which K is the initial population.

At time t = 0 hours, the population is 300.

This means that K = 300. So

$P(t) = 300e^{rt}$

At time t = 24 hours, the population is 1000.

This means that P(24) = 1000. We use this to find the growth rate. So

$P(t) = 300e^{rt}$

$1000 = 300e^{24r}$

$e^{24r} = \frac{1000}{300}$

$e^{24r} = \frac{10}{3}$

$\ln{e^{24r}} = \ln{\frac{10}{3}}$

$24r = \ln{\frac{10}{3}}$

$r = \frac{\ln{\frac{10}{3}}}{24}$

$r = 0.05$

$P(t) = 300e^{0.05t}$

At what time t is the population 500?

This is t for which P(t) = 500. So

$P(t) = 300e^{0.05t}$

$500 = 300e^{0.05t}$

$e^{0.05t} = \frac{500}{300}$

$e^{0.05t} = \frac{5}{3}$

$\ln{e^{0.05t}} = \ln{\frac{5}{3}}$

$0.05t = \ln{\frac{5}{3}}$

$t = \frac{\ln{\frac{5}{3}}}{0.05}$

$t = 10.22$

The population is of 500 after 10.22 hours.

I really need to get this rain I will give you Brainlyest or whatever that thing is called if you get this right

Nataly [62]

Answer: A. SSS

Step-by-step explanation:

The two triangles are congruent through SSS which means Side-Side-Side. This is because each side of the triangle correlates between the two of them. They both have a 8, 6, and 3 side.
