Answer:

240 min

Step-by-step explanation:

if we convert it to minutes, one pool is drained in 360 min, while using another pump requires 720 min. the problem requires them working together, so we need to find the amount of pool drained in a unit pace, being one minute. using the first pump, in 1 minute 1/360 of the pool is drained, and 1/720 for the second pump. We can add them together, thus gaining 3/720 of the pool drained in 1 minute if they are applied together. then, you calculate 720/3 to find out how many minutes it takes for the whole pool to be drained, and you get 240

On a coordinate plane, point B is at (1, negative 1). Point B has coordinate B(1, –1). What is the coordinate of B' under a scal
Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

(3,-3)

Step-by-step explanation:

If a coordinate (x, y) is dilated by a factor k, the resulting coordinate will be (kx, ky)

Given the coordinate (1, -1), if dilated by a factor of 3, the resulting coordinate will be (3(1), 3(-1)) = (3, -3)

Hence the required coordinate will be (3,-3)

Solve 4 cos2x-3 = 0 for all real values of x.
vichka [17]

4 cos² x - 3 = 0

4 cos² x = 3

cos² x = 3/4

cos x = ±(√3)/2

Fixing the squared cosine doesn't discriminate among quadrants.  There's one in every quadrant

cos x = ± cos(π/6)

Let's do plus first.  In general, cos x = cos a has solutions x = ±a + 2πk integer k

cos x = cos(π/6)

x = ±π/6 + 2πk

Minus next.

cos x = -cos(π/6)

cos x = cos(π - π/6)

cos x = cos(5π/6)

x = ±5π/6 + 2πk

We'll write all our solutions as

x = { -5π/6, -π/6, π/6, 5π/6 } + 2πk integer k

Problem 6
Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

8 rabbits

22 chickens

Step-by-step explanation:

c = chickens

r = rabbits

heads - c + r = 30

legs - 2c + 4r = 76

We can now use these two equations to create one by isolating the variable (c) in the first equation.

c = 30 - r

2c + 4r = 76

2(30 - r) + 4r = 76

60 - 2r + 4r = 76

2r = 16

r = 8

Now we know that there are 8 rabbits, which means that there has to be 22 chickens in order to have 30 heads.

If a soccer team played 160 games and won 65% of them, how many games did they win?
Sindrei [870]
The correct answer is 104 games.

You get that number by dividing 160 with a 100, to find out how large 1% is, and then you multiply it with 65 to find out how much 65% is, and the answer is 104 games.
