Jerry is filling a water tank which initially consists of 75 gallons of water. As the water is being pumped in, the water in the

tank increases by 2.5 gallons every minute. To ensure that the tank does not overflow, he wants to fill the tank with a maximum of 195.5 gallons.
What is the maximum amount of time, in minutes, that Jerry can fill the tank without it overflowing?

Answer:

The maximum amount of time is 48.2 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the equation for a line

y = mx+b

the inital value is 75 gallons   ( that is b)

the slope is 2.5 gallons  (that is m)

We know that we want to fill it to 195.5 gallons ( that would be y)

195.5 = 2.5x +75

We are going to solve for x  (that is the number of minutes)

Subtract 75 from each side

195.5-75 = 2.5x +75-75

120.5 = 2.5x

Divide by 2.5 on each side

120.5/2.5 = 2.5x/2.5

48.2 =x

The maximum amount of time is 48.2 minutes

Answer:

48.2 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

With an increase of 2.5/min,

The volume is:

75 + 2.5t,

Where t is time (in minutes)

To aviod overflow:

75 + 2.5t 《 195.5

2.5t 《 120.5

t 《 48.2

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

\dfrac{15}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagram shows right triangle with hypotenuse of 15 units and angle of 30°. This angle is opposite to the leg with length of x units.

In the right triangle, the leg opposite to the 30° angle is half of the hypotenuse, so

x=\dfrac{15}{2}\ units

A regular polygon has 15 sides. Which is a possible angle of rotational symmetry for the figure? 12° 45° 72° 90°
iren2701 [21]

Answer:

Option (3). 72°

Step-by-step explanation:

Angle of rotational symmetry = Central angle of a polygon

That means when we rotate the regular polygon by a central angle, polygon overlaps itself.

Central angle of a polygon with n sides = \frac{360}{n}

Where n = number of sides of the polygon

Therefore, central angle of a polygon with 15 sides = \frac{360}{15}

                                                                                     = 24°

Central angle tells us that after every 24° of rotation, polygon overlaps itself.

Angle of rotational symmetry may be 48°, 72°, 96°.....

Therefore, Option (3) is the possible angle of rotational symmetry.

What is the nth term of this sequence 7, 9, 11, 13
Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

The nth term of the sequence is

<h2>5 + 2n</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The sequence above is an arithmetic sequence

For an nth term in an arithmetic sequence

A(n) = a + ( n - 1)d

where a is the first term

n is the number of terms

d is the common difference

From the question

a = 7

d = 9 - 7 = 2 or 11 - 9 = 2

So the nth term for the sequence is

A(n) = 7 + ( n - 1)2

= 7 + 2n - 2

<h3>A(n) = 5 + 2n</h3>

Hope this helps you

A coordinate plane with a line passing through (negative 4, 3), (0, 1), and (4, negative 1). Which linear function is represente
9966 [12]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If these 3 points are collinear, then we can find the slope of the linear function using any 2 of those points.  Suppose we use (-4, 3) and (0, 1):  

As we move from (-4, 3) to (0, 1), x increases by 4 and y decreases by 2.  Hence, the slope of this lilne is m  = rise/run = -2/4, or m = -1/2.

Using the slope-intercept formula y = mx + b and replacing y with 1, x with 0 and m with -1/2, we get:

1 = (-1/2)(0) + b, or b = 1.  Then the desired equation is y = f(x) = (-1/2)x + 1

postnew [5]

Answer:

15000 - 750x

Step-by-step explanation:

Holly is trying to save $25, 000 to put a down payment on a condominium. She started with $10,000 and saved an additional $750 each month.

Let

y = dollars

x = number of months

Since she started her savings with $10, 000 her remaining amount to pay will be 25000 - 10000 = $15000 .

The amount will also be reducing by $750 per month

Therefore,

How far she is from her goal can be represented with the equation

15000 - 750x
