A newly drilled water well produces 50,000 quarts of water per week. With no new water feeding the well, the production drops by

5% per year. Using 52 weeks in a year, what is the total number of quarts of water that can be drawn from this water well before it goes dry?

Answer:

Total amount of water = 5,200,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

water produced = 50,000 quarts of water per week

Production drop = 5% = 0.05 per year

Number of week in year = 52 week

Find:

Total amount of water

Computation:

Sum = a / r

a = 50,000 x 52

a = 2,600,000

Sum = a / [1-r]

Sum = 2,600,000 / 5%

Sum = 2,600,000 / 0.05

Total amount of water = 5,200,000

The statement "The square of any rational number is rational" can be rewritten formally as "For all rational numbers x, x 2 is r
____ [38]

Answer:

a.

For all non zero fraction 1(1/x), 1/x is a fraction

For all 1/(1/x), if 1/(1/x) is non zero, 1/x is a fraction

b.

For all polynomial function f(x) = x³ + x² + x - 1, the derivative (dy/dx) is a polynomial function

For all f(x) x³ + x² + x - 1, if f(x) is polynomial, f'(x) is a polynomial function

c.

For all angles x,y,z of a triangle, the sum, x + y + z = 180

For all x,y,z, if x,y and z are the angles of a triangle, x+y+z = 180

d.

For all irrational numbers x, -x is irrational

For all x, if x is irrational then -x irrational.

e.

For two integers, x and y, the sum x+y is an integer

For x,y if x and y are integers, then x + y is an integer

f.

For two fractions, x/y and a/b the product ax/by is a fraction

For x/y and a/b, if x/y and a/b are fractions then ax/by is a fraction

If R is the midpoint of QS , find QS (QR = 5x-3 and RS =21-x)
Finger [1]

Answer:

QS is 34

Step-by-step explanation:

We find x first. We set each side equal to each other to do so.

5x-3=21-x

6x=24

x=4

Next we find QS value. We add each side.

5x-3+21-x

4x+18

Then we plug in x to find numeric value.

4(4)+18

34

Which statements about the graph of the function f(x) = –x2 – 4x + 2 are true? Select three options.
IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

The true statements about the graph of the function are:

The range of the function is {y : y ≤ 6} ⇒ 2nd

The function is increasing over the interval (–∞ , –2) ⇒ 3rd

The function has a positive y-intercept ⇒ 5th

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain how to solve the problem

- The function f(x) = -x² - 4x + 2 is a quadratic function represented

  graphically by a downward parabola with maximum vertex

∵ The form of the quadratic function is f(x) = ax² + bx + c

∵ The coordinates of the vertex of the parabola are (h , k) where

   h = -b/2a and k = f(h)

∵ a = -1 , b = -4

∴ h = -(-4)/2(-1) = 4/-2 = -2

∵ k = f(h)

∴ k = -(-2)² - 4(-2) + 2 = -(4) - (-8) + 2

∴ k = -4 + 8 + 2 = 6

∴ The vertex of the parabola is (-2 , 6)

* Look to the attached figure to find the true statements

∵ The greatest value of the function is 6 ⇒ y-coordinate of the vertex

∵ The range of the function is the values y-coordinates of the points

  on the parabola

∴ The range of the function is {y : y ≤ 6}

- The domain of the function is {x : x ∈ R} or (-∞ , ∞)

∵ The value of y increasing after -∞ to the x-coordinate of the vertex

∵ x-coordinate of the vertex is -2

∴ The function is increasing over the interval (–∞ , –2)

- The parabola intersect the y-axis at point (0 , 2)

∵ The y-intercept is the intersection between the parabola and the

   y-axis

∵ The parabola intersect the y-axis at point (0 , 2)

∴ The y-intercept is 2

∴ The function has a positive y-intercept

I found a similar problem to your problem here, which is shown in the attached picture. So, from the picture, we have to find the equation for the red line. All we have to do is find two points of the line. That would be: Point 1(2,0) and Point 2(-2,3). The general equation would be:

y - y₁ = (y₂-y₁)/(x₂ - x₁) * (x - x₁)

Substituting the coordinates to the equation,

y - 0 = (3-0)/(-2 - 2) * (x - 2)
y = -3(x -2)/4
Rearranging,
<em>4y = -3x + 6 or 4y + 3x = 6</em>

The following data show the midterm and final exam scores in an English writing class. Student 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 Midter
tester [92]

Answer:

The co variance of the midterm and final exam scores is 58.76.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to compute the sample co variance is:

Cov(x,y)=\frac{\sum(X-Mean\ of\ X)(Y-Mean\ of\ Y)}{n-1}

The values are computed in the table below.

Compute the co variance as follows:

Cov(x,y)=\frac{\sum(X-Mean\ of\ X)(Y-Mean\ of\ Y)}{n-1}\\=\frac{646.33}{12-1}\\ =58.76

Thus, the co variance of the midterm and final exam scores is 58.76.
