The container that holds the water for the football team is 2/5 full. After pouring in 8 gallons of water, it is 2/3 full. How many gallons can the container hold?

Answers

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  30 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

Let c represent the capacity of the container. Then we have ...

  2/5c + 8 = 2/3c

Multiplying by 15 clears the fractions:

  6c +120 = 10c

  120 = 4c . . . . . . . . subtract 6c

  30 = c . . . . . . . . . . divide by 4

The container can hold 30 gallons.

_____

Additional comment

Often, you are told to "clear fractions" first when solving equations that involve them. Here, you can work directly with the fractions, if you like.

  8 = (2/3c) -(2/5c) = 4/15c . . . . . find the difference of the fractions

  8(15/4) = c = 30 . . . . . . . . . . . . . multiply by its inverse

Let a and b be real numbers, where a<b, and let A=(a,a^2)  and B= (b,b^2) The line AB (meaning the unique line that contains the point A and the point B) has x-intercept (-3/2,0) and y-intercept (0,3). Find a and b. Express your answer as the ordered pair (a,b)​

Answers

The slope of the line passing through points A and B is

slope = (b ² - a ²) / (b - a) = ((b - a) (b + a)) / (b - a) = b + a

Since this line passes through (0, 3), its equation would be

y - 3 = (b + a) (x - 0)   ==>   y = (b + a) x + 3

It also passes through (-3/2, 0), so that

y - 0 = (b + a) (x + 3/2)   ==>   y = (b + a) x + 3/2 (b + a)

If these equations describe the same line, then they must have the same slope and y-intercept, so that

3 = 3/2 (b + a)   ==>   a + b = 2

It also passes through (a, a ²), so that

a ² = (b + a) a + 3   ==>   a ² = ab + a ² + 3   ==>   ab = -3

Solving for b in the first underlined equation, we get

b = 2 - a

Substituting into the second equation and solving for a gives

a (2 - a) = -3   ==>   2a - a ² = -3   ==>   a ² - 2a - 3 = (a - 3) (a + 1) = 0

==>   a = 3   or   a = -1

==>   b = -1   or   b = 3

Since a < b, we pick a = -1 and b = 3, so the solution is (a, b) = (-1, 3).

If a=120° , find the measure of angles b, c and d.

b) How much total money will you put into the account?
c) How much total interest will you earn?

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  a) $164,413.47

  b) $96,000

  c) $68,413.47

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The account value is given by the annuity formula:

  A = P(12/r)((1 +r/12)^(12·t) -1)

where monthly payment P earns interest at annual rate r compounded monthly for t years.

  A = $400(12/0.05)((1 +0.05/12)^(12·20) -1) = $400(240)(1.712640285)

  A ≈ $164,412.47

You will have $164,413.47 in the account after 20 years.

__

b) You put $400 in the account each month for 240 months, for a total of ...

  $400 × 240 = $96,000 . . . . total of your deposits

The value of my coins if I have p pennies, n nickels and twice as many quarters as pennies.

Answers

Answer:

Total value in cents = 51p+5nTotal value in dollars = (51p+5n)/100

The answer varies depending if your teacher wants the answer in cents only, or in dollars only.

====================================================

Explanation:

p = number of penniesn = number of nickels2p = number of quarters, since we have twice as many quarters compared to pennies.

Based on that, we know,

p = number of cents from the pennies (1 penny = 1 cent)5n = number of cents from the nickels (5 nickels = 5 cents, multiply both sides by n)25(2p) = 50p = number of cents from the quarters

and ultimately

p+5n+50p = 51p+5n

represents the total value of all the coins, and this value is in cents. We would divide by 100 to convert from cents to dollars. So we can say that 51p+5n cents = (51p+5n)/100 dollars

----------------

As an example, let's say

p = 4n = 5

So we have

p = 4 penniesn = 5 nickelsq = 2p = 2*4 = 8 quarters

This would mean we have

p = 4 cents from the pennies only5n = 5*5 = 25 cents from the nickels only25q = 25*8 = 200 cents from the quarters only

Overall we have p+5n+25q = 4+25+200 = 229 cents which converts to 229/100 = $2.29

We can also say 51p+5n = 51*4+5*5 = 204+25 = 229 which is a slight shortcut to get the same result (that result being in cents).

A ball is thrown straight up into the air from an initial height of 5 feet at time t = 0. The height, in feet, of the ball above the ground is given by h(t), where t is measured in seconds for 0 ≤ t ≤ 15. Based on the values of t and h(t) given in the table, for which value of t would the speed of the ball most likely be the greatest?

t (seconds) 0 3 6 9 12 15
h(t) (feet) 5 12 15 11 6 0

Select one:
a. 2 seconds
b. 5 seconds
c. 9 seconds
d. 15 seconds

Answers

Answer:

5 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

The speed of an object is the rate of distance over time. The value of time (t) at the greatest speed of the ball is at 2 seconds

First, we calculate the speed using:

[tex]Speed = \frac{h(t)}{t}[/tex] --- i.e. distance/time

At t = 0, h(t) = 5

So;

[tex]Speed = \frac{5}{0} = unde fine d[/tex]

At t = 3, h(t) = 12

[tex]Speed = \frac{12}{3} = 4[/tex]

At t = 6, h(t) = 15

[tex]Speed = \frac{15}{6} = 2.5[/tex]

At t = 9, h(t) = 11

[tex]Speed = \frac{11}{9} = 1.2[/tex]

At t = 12, h(t) = 6

[tex]Speed = \frac{6}{12} = 0.5[/tex]

At t = 15, h(t) = 0

[tex]Speed = \frac{0}{15} = 0[/tex]

By comparing the above values, we notice that as time and height increases, the value of speed reduces.

This means that the greatest value of speed will be at the least value of time (t).

From the given options, the least value of time is at:

[tex]t = 2[/tex]

Hence, the value of time (t) at the greatest speed of the ball is at 2 seconds

find the probability of being dealt 5 cards from a standard 52 card deck, and the cards are 6,7,8,9, and 10, all of the same suit. What is the probability of being dealt this hand is

Answers

Answer: 20/52 x 4/51 x 3/50 x 2/49 x 1/48 = .00000153908

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of being dealt 5 cards from a standard 52 card deck, and the cards are 6,7,8,9, and 10 of the same suit is 0.00000153908

What is Probability?

The probability that an event will occur is measured by the ratio of favorable examples to the total number of situations possible

The value of probability lies between 0 and 1

Given data ,

Let the number of cards in deck be = 52 cards

Total number of cards selected = 5

The number of ways of choosing 5 cards = ⁵²C₅

The cards selected are of the same suit

So , there are 4 ways to select them , Hearts , Clubs , Spades and Diamonds = ⁴C₁

And there is only one way to select the cards 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 = 1

Now , we use combination to select the cards in a deck,

So,

The probability of being dealt 5 cards from a standard 52 card deck, and the cards are 6,7,8,9, and 10, all of the same suit is calculated by,

P ( x ) = 1 / ⁵²C₅ x ⁴C₁ x 1

P ( x ) = 1 /  52! / ( 47! x 5! )  x  4! / 3!  x  1

P ( x ) = 1 / ( 52 x 51 x 50 x 49 x 48 ) / ( 2 x 3 x 4 x 5 ) x 4

P ( x ) = 1 / ( 2598966 ) x 4

P ( x ) = 4 / 2598966

P ( x ) = 0.00000153908

Hence , The probability of being dealt 5 cards from a standard 52 card deck, and the cards are 6,7,8,9, and 10 of the same suit is 0.00000153908

Use the Laplace transform to solve the given system of differential equations. d2x dt2 + x − y = 0 d2y dt2 + y − x = 0 x(0) = 0, x'(0) = −6, y(0) = 0, y'(0) = 1

Answers

I'm going to assume that "−" is supposed to be some kind of minus character, so that the given system of DEs is supposed to be

[tex]\begin{cases}\dfrac{\mathrm d^2x}{\mathrm dt^2} + x - y = 0 \\ \dfrac{\mathrm d^2y}{\mathrm dt^2} + y - x = 0 \\ x(0) = 0, x'(0) = -6, y(0) = 0, y'(0) = 1\end{cases}[/tex]

Take the Laplace transform of both sides of both equations. Recall the transform for a second-order derivative,

[tex]L_s\left\{\dfrac{\mathrm d^2f(t)}{\mathrm dt^2}\right\} = s^2 F(s) - sf(0) - f'(0)[/tex]

where F(s) denotes the transform of f(t). You end up with

[tex]\begin{cases}s^2X(s)-sx(0)-x'(0) + X(s) - Y(s) = 0 \\ s^2Y(s) - sy(0) - y'(0) + Y(s) - X(s) = 0\end{cases} \\\\ \begin{cases}(s^2+1)X(s) - Y(s) = -6 \\ (s^2+1)Y(s) - X(s) = 1\end{cases}[/tex]

and solving for X(s) and Y(s) (nothing tricky here, just two linear equations) gives

[tex]X(s) = -\dfrac{6s^2+5}{s^2(s^2+2)} \text{ and } Y(s) = \dfrac{s^2-5}{s^2(s^2+2)}[/tex]

Now solve for x(t) and y(t) by computing the inverse transforms. To start, split up both X(s) and Y(s) into partial fractions.

• Solving for x(t) :

[tex]-\dfrac{6s^2+5}{s^2(s^2+2)} = \dfrac as + \dfrac b{s^2} + \dfrac{cs+d}{s^2+2} \\\\ -6s^2-5 = as(s^2+2) + b(s^2+2) + (cs+d)s^2 \\\\ -6s^2-5 = (a+c)s^3 + (b+d)s^2 + 2as + 2b \\\\ \implies \begin{cases}a+c=0\\b+d=-6\\2a=0\\2b=-5\end{cases} \implies a=c=0, b=-\dfrac52, d=-\dfrac72[/tex]

[tex]\implies X(s) = -\dfrac5{2s^2} - \dfrac7{2(s^2+2)}[/tex]

Taking the inverse transform, you get

[tex]L^{-1}_t\left\{X(s)\right\} = -\dfrac52 L^{-1}_t\left\{\dfrac{1!}{s^{1+1}}\right\} - \dfrac7{2\sqrt2} L^{-1}_t\left\{\dfrac{\sqrt2}{s^2+(\sqrt2)^2}\right\} \\\\ \implies \boxed{x(t) = -\dfrac52 t - \dfrac7{2\sqrt2}\sin(\sqrt2\,t)}[/tex]

• Solving for y(t) :

[tex]\dfrac{s^2-5}{s^2(s^2+2)} = \dfrac as + \dfrac b{s^2} + \dfrac{cs+d}{s^2+2} \\\\ s^2 - 5 = as(s^2+2) + b(s^2+2) + (cs+d)s^2 \\\\ s^2 - 5 = (a+c)s^3 + (b+d)s^2 + 2as + 2b \\\\ \implies \begin{cases}a+c=0\\b+d=1\\2a=0\\2b=-5\end{cases} \implies a=c=0, b=-\dfrac52, d=\dfrac72[/tex]

[tex]\implies Y(s) = -\dfrac5{2s^2} + \dfrac7{2(s^2+2)}[/tex]

Inverse transform:

[tex]L^{-1}_t\left\{Y(s)\right\} = -\dfrac52 L^{-1}_t\left\{\dfrac{1!}{s^{1+1}}\right\} + \dfrac7{2\sqrt2} L^{-1}_t\left\{\dfrac{\sqrt 2}{s^2+(\sqrt2)^2}\right\} \\\\ \implies \boxed{y(t) = -\dfrac52 t + \dfrac7{\sqrt2} \sin(\sqrt2\,t)}[/tex]
