A tub of water is emptied at a rate of 3 gallons per minute. The equation y –12 = –3(x – 1) models the amount of water remaining, where x is time (in minutes) and y is the amount of water left (in gallons). Analyze the work shown below to determine the initial amount of water. 1. Solve for the y-variable.     y – 12 = –3(x – 1) y – 12 = –3x + 3 y = –3x +15   2. Write the equation using function notation.  f(x) = –3x +15 The tub started with ____ gallons of water.

What is a linear equation?

A connection between a number of variables results in a linear model when a graph is displayed. The variable will have a degree of one.

The linear equation is given as,

y = mx + c

Where m is the slope of the line and c is the y-intercept of the line.

A tub of water is discharged at a pace of 3 gallons each moment. The condition y - 12 = - 3(x - 1) models how much water remaining, where x is time (in minutes) and y is how much water is left (in gallons).

Simplify the equation into a slope intercept form, then we have

y - 12 = - 3(x - 1)

y - 12 = - 3x + 3

y = - 3x + 15

The number of gallons of water initially present in the tub will be 15 gallons.

The correct answer is:

Explanation:

To write a number in scientific notation, we want the decimal behind the first non-zero digit in the number. The first non-zero digit in 78 is 7; this means we want 7.8. In order to have the decimal point behind the 7, we need to move the decimal 7 places. This is the exponent of 10 in our scientific notation, which gives us

working together Katherine and Julianna can plant new trees on there recently divorced land in 4 days working alone it would take Giuliana to days longer than it would take Catherine to plant the trees how long would it take Katherine working alone to plant the trees

Answers

The rates of each working together are added
Two people = 1/4
One person = 1 / x + 2
The other person = 1 / x
Solve for x and you can find other person’s rate:
1 / x + 1 / x + 2 = 1 / 4
x = 3 + (sqrt17), 3 – (sqrt17)
x = 7.21

the other solution would be:

Let t be the time necessary by the 1st person to do the job alone
then 
(t + 2) is the time required by the 2nd person alone
Let the completed job = 1
A classic work equation:
Each person will do a fraction of the job, the two fractions add up to 1
4/ t + 4 / t + 2 = 1
multiply by t(t+2), results
4(t+2) + 4t = t(t+2)
4t + 8 + 4t = t^2 + 2t
Arrange them as a quadratic equation
t^2 + 2t -8t - 8
t^2 -6t - 8 = 0
then use the quadratic equation, the answer will be 7.21.
It will take Katherine approximately 7 days working alone to plant the trees.

Solving Equations by Expressing Equations in Terms of their Bases

To solve an equation, the bases can be made equivalent and cancelled out by creating exponents.

Given:

[tex]49^{3x} = 343^{2x + 1}[/tex]

First, express each side by simplifying their bases and make them equivalent. Let the base be 7.

Answers

Just take out 18 from each term to get a binomial. Multiply what you factored out, 18, by the remaining binomial.

Answer:

An equivalent expression to 54+18x, using the distributive property is 18(3+x)

Step-by-step explanation:

In the problem we have the binomial (54+18x), and we are asked to use the distributive property, this means that we can find a factor wich is distributed in both terms of the binomial.

We know that any number, or in this case any polinomial (or binomial), can be multiplied times 1 and will stay the same number, and we only need to write this 1 in a way that could resolve our problem, in particular we can say that

[tex]1=\frac{18}{18}[/tex]

then we can distribute the denominator, so we calculate:

[tex](54+18x)=1(54+18x)=\frac{18}{18}(54+18x)=18(\frac{54}{18}+\frac{18x}{18})=18(3+x)[/tex]

And the equivalent expression to (54+18x) is 18(3+x).

A car company said that its top five models had the following fuel efficiency ratings: 26.3 mpg, 28.95 mpg, 33.6 mpg, 35 mpg, 38.24 mpg. What is the average mpg rating of these five models, recorded to the appropriate degree of precision? A. 32 mpg B. 32.0 mpg C. 32.4 mpg D. 32.42 mpg

Answers

32.148 is the exact average.

The average fuel efficiency rating, calculated by adding the mpg ratings and dividing by five, is 32.418 mpg, rounded to the nearest hundredth as 32.42 mpg. The answer is D. 32.42 mpg.

To find the average fuel efficiency rating of the top five models, we need to calculate the mean mpg rating. To do this, we add up all the mpg ratings and then divide by the number of models:

Add the fuel efficiency ratings together: 26.3 + 28.95 + 33.6 + 35 + 38.24.

The sum is 162.09 mpg.

Divide this sum by the number of cars, which is 5: 162.09 ÷ 5.

The average is 32.418 mpg.

To record the average to the appropriate degree of precision, we consider the place values of the original data provided. The given ratings include mpg values recorded to the nearest hundredth, as in 28.95 mpg and 38.24 mpg. This means the average should also be recorded to the nearest hundredth: 32.42 mpg. Therefore, the correct answer is D. 32.42 mpg.

Answers

13m - 56m = -18

m = 18/43 or about .4186

The value of m in the equation [tex]13m +3 -56m = -15[/tex] is [tex]\frac{18}{43}[/tex]

Given: [tex]13m +3 -56m = -15[/tex]

To find: value of m

To find the value of m we need to move all the terms containing variables on LHS and the constants on RHS. This can be done as follows:

[tex]13m +3 -56m = -15\\13m -56m =-15-3\\[/tex]

Now we can solve for m as follows:

[tex]13m-56m =-15-3\\-43m = -18\\[/tex]

The negative sign on both LHS and RHS will cancel out and it will give us:

[tex]m = \frac{18}{43}[/tex]

Since 18 and 43 do not have any common multiples so the fraction cant be simplified further. So, [tex]m = \frac{18}{43}[/tex]

A rectangular board is 18 feet by 24 feet. How far from the center of the board should the foci be located in order to cut the largest elliptical tabletop from the board?
a. 7.94 ft
b. 4.06 ft
c. 15 ft
d. 15.9 ft

Answers

x = 24
y = 18
Length of Major Axis = a
Length of Minor Axis = b

Center (0, 0):

h = 0
k = 0

a = 1/2 x
a = 1/2 *(24)
a = 12
b = 1/2 y
b =1/2 (18)
b = 9
So, Equation of Ellipse:

General : (x - h)² / a² + (y - k)² / b² = 1

(x - 0)² / (12)² + (y - 0)² / (9)² = 1

x² / 144 + y² / 81 = 1


Focus = c:
        _____
c = √a² - b²
        _______
c = √(12)² - (9)²
        ______
c = √144 - 81 = sqrt63 = 7.9372

Focus : ( -7.9372, 0) and ( 7.9372, 0)


The correct answer is: a. 7.94 ft

Step 1

To find the distance from the center of the board to the foci of the ellipse that will result in the largest possible elliptical tabletop, we can use the formula:

[tex]\[ c = \sqrt{a^2 - b^2} \][/tex]

where:

- a is half the length of the major axis (which is half of the longer side of the rectangle)

- b is half the length of the minor axis (which is half of the shorter side of the rectangle)

Step 2

Given that the rectangle is 18 feet by 24 feet, [tex]\( a = \frac{24}{2} = 12 \)[/tex] feet and [tex]\( b = \frac{18}{2} = 9 \)[/tex] feet.

Step 2

Now, we can substitute these values into the formula:

[tex]\[ c = \sqrt{12^2 - 9^2} \]\[ c = \sqrt{144 - 81} \]\[ c = \sqrt{63} \][/tex]

Taking the square root of 63 gives us approximately 7.94 feet.

A line passes through the points (–1, –5) and (4, 5). The point (a, 1) is also on the line.

Answers

The value of "a" is 2.

To find the value of "a," we can use the formula for the equation of a line, which is y = mx + b.

First, we need to find the slope, represented by "m," using the given points (-1, -5) and (4, 5). The slope formula is (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1).

Substituting the coordinates, we have:

m = (5 - (-5)) / (4 - (-1))
m = 10 / 5
m = 2

Now that we have the slope, we can substitute it into the equation of the line with the point (a, 1):

1 = 2a + b

To solve for "a," we need to find the value of "b." We can substitute one of the given points into the equation and solve for "b."

Using (-1, -5):

-5 = 2(-1) + b
-5 = -2 + b
b = -3

Now we can substitute the values of "b" and "a" into the equation:

1 = 2a - 3

To isolate "a," we add 3 to both sides:

1 + 3 = 2a
4 = 2a

Dividing both sides by 2, we find:

2 = a

Therefore, the value of "a" is 2.
