For the answer: The florist needs at least 1/3 gallons of nutrient rich water for each bushel of flowers he buys. If w is the ga

llons of water and f is the bushels of flowers, then:
w≥1/3f

I don't understand how you derive this equation.

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

The phrase "at least" indicates that you use the symbol ≥, so that's where they got the ≥ from. The amount of water needed for each bushel is 1/3 * f or 1/3f because you need 1/3 gallons of water per one bushel. We know that the amount of water needed is at least 1/3 gallons per bushel. Since the amount of water is w, "at least" is ≥ and 1/3 gallons per bushel is 1/3f, the inequality is w ≥ 1/3f. I hope this makes sense.

Rewrite the given expression in the form 3^u where u is a constant or an algebraic expression.
lawyer [7]
Simplifying the given expressions we proceed as follows:
(5sqrt3)^x
=5^x*(3^1/2)^x
=5^x*3^x/2
=5^x3^u
where u=x/2


(1/2)^(x-3)
=1/2^(x-3)
=2^-(3-x)
=2^u
where u=-(3-x)

9/3sqrt(3)
=3/(3)^(1/2)
=3(3)^(-1/2)

16/(3sqrt (2^x))
=1/3*(2^4*2^(-x/2))
=1/3*2^(4-x/2)
=1/3*2^u
where:
u=4-x/2

A circular backyard pool has a diameter of 26 feet and is 4 feet deep. One cubic foot of water has a capacity of approximately 7
klasskru [66]
Find the water volume of the pool.  The formula for a vertical cylinder is V = pi*r^2*h, which here is V = pi(13 ft)^2*(4 ft) = 676*pi cubic feet.

Now convert this 676 cu. ft. to gallons:

Mult (676*pi cu ft) by the conversion factor (7.48 gal) / (1 cu ft):

676*pi cu ft     7.48 gal
--------------- * ------------- = 5056*pi gallons (rounded down from 5056.48 pi)
        1             1 cu ft

The cost of filling the pool will be

5056.48*pi gallons        $3
--------------------------- * ------------- = $48 (to the nearest dollar)
        1                           1000 gal

A race car driving under the caution flag at 40 feet per second begins to accelerate at a constant rate after the warning flag.
shtirl [24]

Answer:

t = 1.667 s

Step-by-step explanation

The distance traveled since the warning flag in feet is characterized by

d = 30*t^2 + 40*t

Where t is the time in seconds after the car starts accelerating.

We can easily solve this question by plotting the equation using a graphing calculator or plotting tool.

We need to find the time for which the distance d = 150 ft

150 = 30*t^2 + 40*t     , t > =0

We can see that this value in the graph is approximately

t = 1.667 s

We can verify

30*(1.667)^2 + 40*(1.667 ) ≈ 150
