Answer:

The term "at least" means the lowest number you can have. In other words, you cannot have a number less than that point. So we use the greater than or equal symbol.

x - 3 ≥ - 5

Add 3 on both sides of the inequality.

x ≥ -2

x is any number greater than or equal to -2.

If the term was "at most", then that is the highest number you can have, and you can go no higher than that. In this case, we would have used the less than or equal to symbol.

These terms are important to understand when working with inequalities.

Oil is pumped into a tank at a rate of Q(t)=45-t gallons per minute where time is t is measured in minutes how many gallons are

FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

15 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Pumping rate is modeled by the equation :

Q(t)=45-t gallons per minute ; where t is in minutes

Number of gallons in tank after 30 minutes ;

Q(t)=45-t

Q(30) = 45 - 30

Q(30) = 15

Hence, Number of gallons in tank after 30 minutes is 15 gallons

The sequence$$1,2,1,2,2,1,2,2,2,1,2,2,2,2,1,2,2,2,2,2,1,2,\dots$$consists of $1$'s separated by blocks of $2$'s with $n$ $2$'s i

kicyunya [14]

Consider the lengths of consecutive 1-2 blocks.

block 1 - 1, 2 - length 2

block 2 - 1, 2, 2 - length 3

block 3 - 1, 2, 2, 2 - length 4

block 4 - 1, 2, 2, 2, 2 - length 5

and so on.

Recall the formula for the sum of consecutive positive integers,

$\displaystyle \sum_{i=1}^j i = 1 + 2 + 3 + \cdots + j = \frac{j(j+1)}2 \implies \sum_{i=2}^j = \frac{j(j+1) - 2}2$

Now,

$1234 = \dfrac{j(j+1)-2}2 \implies 2470 = j(j+1) \implies j\approx49.2016$

which means that the 1234th term in the sequence occurs somewhere about 1/5 of the way through the 49th 1-2 block.

In the first 48 blocks, the sequence contains 48 copies of 1 and 1 + 2 + 3 + ... + 47 copies of 2, hence they make up a total of

$\displaystyle \sum_{i=1}^48 1 + \sum_{i=1}^{48} i = 48+\frac{48(48+1)}2 = 1224$

numbers, and their sum is

$\displaystyle \sum_{i=1}^{48} 1 + \sum_{i=1}^{48} 2i = 48 + 48(48+1) = 48\times50 = 2400$

This leaves us with the contribution of the first 10 terms in the 49th block, which consist of one 1 and nine 2s with a sum of $1+9\times2=19$ .

So, the sum of the first 1234 terms in the sequence is 2419.

Decide whether the following statement is true or false. If the degree of the numerator of a rational function equals the degree

Alona [7]

B. The statement is true because if the degree of the numerator of a rational function equals the degree of the denominator, then the rational function has a horizontal asymptote that is equal to the ratio of the leading coefficients.
