Answer:

  100.9 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

One circuit of the track is a distance of ...

  C = 2πr = 2π(60 yd) = 120π yd.

At Alex's running rate, the distance covered in 20 minutes is ...

  (4 yd/s)(20 min)(60 s/min) = 4800 yd

The number of circuits will be ...

  (4800 yd)/(120π yd/circuit) = 40/π circuits ≈ 12.7324 circuits

The last of Alex's laps is more than half-completed, so the shortest distance to his starting point is 13 -12.7324 = 0.2676 circuits,

That distance is (0.2676 circuits)×(120π yd/circuit) ≈ 100.88 yd

The shortest distance along the track to Alex's starting point is about 100.9 yards.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

The exact distance is 120(13π-40) yards. The distance will vary according to your approximation for pi. If you use 3.14, this is about 98.4 yards.

Suppose a tank contains 400 gallons of salt water. If pure water flows into the tank at the rate of 7 gallons per minute and the
Strike441 [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a differential equation problem most easily solved with an exponential decay equation of the form

y=Ce^{kt}. We know that the initial amount of salt in the tank is 28 pounds, so

C = 28. Now we just need to find k.

The concentration of salt changes as the pure water flows in and the salt water flows out. So the change in concentration, where y is the concentration of salt in the tank, is \frac{dy}{dt}. Thus, the change in the concentration of salt is found in

\frac{dy}{dt}= inflow of salt - outflow of salt

Pure water, what is flowing into the tank, has no salt in it at all; and since we don't know how much salt is leaving (our unknown, basically), the outflow at 3 gal/min is 3 times the amount of salt leaving out of the 400 gallons of salt water at time t:

3(\frac{y}{400})

Therefore,

\frac{dy}{dt}=0-3(\frac{y}{400}) or just

\frac{dy}{dt}=-\frac{3y}{400} and in terms of time,

-\frac{3t}{400}

Thus, our equation is

y=28e^{-\frac{3t}{400} and filling in 16 for the number of minutes in t:

y = 24.834 pounds of salt

In 5 years' time, Kate's father will be 3 times as old as Kate. Four years ago, her father
Brut [27]

Answer: Kate = 40/3  Her father = 50

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Kate's age in the present be K

And Kate's father's age in the present be F

3(K+5) = F+5

6(K-6) = F-6

Rearrange the first equation to get

3K+15 = F+5

3K+10 = F

Substitute that into the second question

6K-36 = 3K+10-6

3K = 40

K = 40/3

So F = 3*40/3+10 = 50

How would I finish solving this?
Zarrin [17]
Hello!

The original equation is:

200 = (5w ÷ 2)8

This problem can be written as:

200 = (5w/2)8

And you can then reduce the numbers with 2:

200 = 5x * 4
200 = 20x
10 = x

Your correct answer is 10.
