Tap X can fill a bath in 12 minutes.
Tap Y can fill a bath in 6 minutes.
How long will it take to fill the bath with both taps running at the same time?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:  4 minutes

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

Explanation:

Let's say that this tub is 72 gallons. I picked this number since 12*6 = 72. You can pick any number you want, but I picked this number so we end up with whole number results as shown below.

Tap X can fill the 72 gallon tub in 12 minutes. Its rate is 72/12 = 6 gallons per minute. Tap Y has a rate of 12 gallons per minute because 72/6 = 12.

Add the two unit rates: 6+12 = 18

If the two taps are opened at the same time, then they will work at a rate of 18 gallons per minute.

Let x be the number of minutes. The expression 18x represents how much of the tub is full after x minutes. Set this equal to the 72 we started with earlier and solve for x.

18x = 72

x = 72/18

x = 4

It will take 4 minutes if both taps are running at the same time.

What is the final price of the computer if you use the store credit card?

Answers

Answer:

$395.55

Step-by-step explanation:

45%+10%=55%

100%-55%=45%

Since 45% is 45/100 in fractions, use that x 879 for the final price.

45/100x879=395.55

Prove that: (sin x - 2 sin³ x)/(2 cos³ x - cos x) = tan x​

Answers

[tex]\large\underline{\sf{Solution-}}[/tex]

We have to prove that:

[tex]\rm\longmapsto \dfrac{ \sin(x) - 2 \sin^{3} (x) }{2 \cos^{3} (x) - \cos(x) } = \tan(x) [/tex]

Taking LHS, we get:

[tex]\rm = \dfrac{ \sin(x) - 2 \sin^{3} (x) }{2 \cos^{3} (x) - \cos(x) }[/tex]

We can take sin(x) as common from numerator part. We get:

[tex]\rm = \dfrac{ \sin(x) \{1- 2 \sin^{2} (x) \}}{2 \cos^{3} (x) - \cos(x) }[/tex]

Similarly, we can take cos(x) as common from first two terms. We get:

[tex]\rm = \dfrac{ \sin(x) \{1- 2 \sin^{2} (x) \}}{ \cos(x) \{ 2 \cos^{2} (x) -1\}}[/tex]

[tex]\rm = \dfrac{ \sin(x) }{ \cos(x) } \cdot \dfrac{\{1- 2 \sin^{2} (x) \}}{\{ 2 \cos^{2} (x) -1\}}[/tex]

As we know that:

[tex]\rm\longmapsto \dfrac{ \sin(x) }{ \cos(x) } = \tan(x) [/tex]

We get:

[tex]\rm = \tan(x) \cdot \dfrac{\{1- 2 \sin^{2} (x) \}}{\{ 2 \cos^{2} (x) -1\}}[/tex]

Now, we will expand the terms in fraction:

[tex]\rm = \tan(x) \cdot \dfrac{\{1- \sin^{2} (x) - { \sin }^{2}(x) \}}{\{\cos^{2} (x) + \cos^{x}(x) -1\}}[/tex]

As we know that:

[tex]\rm \longmapsto \sin^{2}(x)+cos^{2}(x)=1[/tex]

[tex]\rm \longmapsto\cos^{2}(x)=1-sin^{2}(x)[/tex]

[tex]\rm \longmapsto\cos^{2}(x) - 1=-sin^{2}(x)[/tex]

Now substitute the values in the expression, we get:

[tex]\rm = \tan(x)\cdot \dfrac{ \cos^{2} (x)-{ \sin }^{2}(x)}{\cos^{2} (x) - \sin^{2} (x) }[/tex]

[tex]\rm = \tan(x)\cdot1[/tex]

[tex]\rm = \tan(x)[/tex]

Here, we notice that LHS = RHS

Please do 5 and 6!!!!

Answers

Answer:

5) y = 6x - 3

6) y = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

If we’re trying to write a line in slope-intercept form, we must need the slope and the y-intercept.

m = 6 and b = -3

What the question is trying to say is that 6 is the slope and -3 is the y-intercept. Thus m = slope and b = y-intercept.

And the equation of the line in slope-intercept form is y = 6x - 3

but what if the slope is 0 like in question 6? Therefore, we cancel the slope and x-intercept DOES NOT appear. so the equation of the line would be y = 2

Answers

Answer:

10 feet tall

Step-by-step explanation:

(Triangle problem was answered in a previous question)

So like before, we have a ratio: 1.5inches:2.5feet

We have a starting value as well: 6 inches

All we have to do is convert from inches to feet (not with a real life equation, but with the given equation)

To begin, dvide 6 by 1.5

6inches/1.5inches = 4 (The units canceled out during division)

Not multiply by the ratio:

4 * 2.5feet = 10 feet (It takes the units in feet)

Therefore, the tree is actually 10 feet tall.

Three cubes with volumes 8 cm3, 27 cm3 and 64 cm3 are glued together to form a solid figure. What the least possible surface area (cm2) of the solid figure?

Answers

Answer:

148 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

The cubes have sides of 2 cm, 3 cm and 4 cm respectively.

Their face area of the cubes is 4 cm², 9 cm² and 16 cm² respectively.

Total surface area of each cube is:

Side 2 cm - 6*(2*2) = 24 cm², Side 3 cm - 6*(3*3) = 54 cm², Side 4 cm - 6*(4*4) = 96 cm².

Total of three cubes:

24 + 54 + 96 = 174 cm²

When you glue the cubes together you lose an area equal to double face area of the smaller cube from the total surface area.

Possible decrease, provided full faces area covered:

2 cm cube with the other two ⇒ loss of four 2x2 faces 4*4 = 16 cm²3 cm or 4 cm cube with the other two ⇒ loss of two 3x3 and two 2x2 faces 2(9+4) = 26 cm²

The least possible surface area is:

174 - 26 = 148 cm²

☆Answer :

3Cubes :

Volume = 8cm³ ==> r = 2cmVolume = 27cm³ => r = 3cmVolume = 64cm³ => r = 4cm

Soo :

Volume - 1 = 6 × 2² = 6 × 4 = 24cm²

Volume - 2 = 6 × 3² = 6 × 9 = 54cm²

Volume - 3 = 6 × 4² = 6 × 16 = 96cm²

Totals = 24 + 54 + 96 = 174cm²

[tex] \: [/tex]

surface area = 174 - 2(3² + 2²)

surface area = 174 - 2(9 + 4)

surface area = 174 - 2(13)

surface area = 174 - 26

serface area = 148cm²

the equation should be

[tex]y = \frac{ - 7}{6} x + c[/tex]

To find c, we replace X with -1 and Y with 2

c= 5/6

And if you multiply everything by 6 you get

<3

Answer:

the GCF of those numbers is 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

One way to solve this is to list the factors of them, then find the greatest one that they share.

42: 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 14, 21, 42

12: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12

6: 1, 2, 3, 6

If we look at them, notice that six is in all of them. All of them have factors of six. Can we go any higher than that? No because six is the greatest factor of six, so we can't go any higher and still have all of them share a GCF. So your answer is 6.
