. A circulating pump consumes 450 W for 24 hr a day. a. Determine the energy consumed for a one-year period. b. Calculate the ut

ility energy charges for this period at a rate of $0.12/kWh. c. Determine the energy saved for a one-year period, if the pump is switched off 8 hr a day. d. Calculate the energy cost savings for this period at a rate of $0.12/kWh, if the pump is switched off 8 hr a day.

Answer:

a. 3942 kWh

b. $473.04

c. 1314 kWh

d. $157.68

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>a. </h3>

There are 1000 W in 1 kW, so 450 W = 0.450 kW. The energy used per day is ...

(0.45 kW)(24 h) = 10.8 kWh . . . . energy per day

Then in a 365-day year, the energy used is

(365 da/yr)(10.8 kWh/da) = 3942 kWh/yr

__

<h3>b.</h3>

At the rate of $0.12/kWh, the cost of running the pump is ...

($0.12/kWh)(3942 kWh/yr) = $473.04/yr

__

<h3>c.</h3>

Switching the pump off for 1/3 of the time will save 1/3 of the energy found in part (a):

1/3(3942 kWh) = 1314 kWh . . . . energy saved by switching off the pump

__

<h3>d.</h3>

The savings will be 1/3 of the cost of running the pump full time:

1/3($473.04/yr) = $157.68/yr

Los lados de un triángulo rectángulo tienen por medida tres números enteros consecutivos. Calcula los lados del triángulo.

elixir [45]

Answer:

Los lados del triángulo rectángulo miden 3, 4 y 5, respectivamente.

Step-by-step explanation:

Un triángulo rectángulo puede ser descrito mediante el teorema de Pitágoras, para el caso de tres lados representando tres números enteros consecutivos, tenemos que:

$(n+2)^{2} = n^{2} + (n+1)^{2}$ (1)

Donde $n$ es un número natural.

A continuación, expandimos la expresión y resolvemos:

$n^{2}+4\cdot n +4 = n^{2} + n^{2} +2\cdot n + 1$

$n^{2}-2\cdot n -3 = 0$

$(n -3) \cdot (n+1) = 0$

La única solución factible es $n = 3$ . En consecuencia, los lados del triángulo rectángulo miden 3, 4 y 5, respectivamente.

I dont understand this at all. I really need help!

Hello!

$\large\boxed{x^{4}}$

Recall that:

$\sqrt[z]{x^{y} }$ is equal to $x^{\frac{y}{z} }$ . Therefore:

$\sqrt[3]{x^{2} } = x^{\frac{2}{3} }$

There is also an exponent of '6' outside. According to exponential properties, when an exponent is within an exponent, you multiply them together. Therefore:

$(x^{\frac{2}{3} })^{6} = x^{\frac{2}{3}* 6 } = x^{\frac{12}{3} } = x^{4}$
