Since the water in the tank is doubling each minute, that means the minute before the tank was full, it was half full.
If it fills in an hour, which is 60 minutes, than that is double what it was 1 minute ago.

The invert of doubling is halving.
The tank was half full a minute before it was full.
It was full after 60 minutes.
This means it was half full after 59 minutes.

Answer:
The tank was half full after 59 minutes.

Hope this helps!

The equation y = 14x represents the number of pages Printer A can print over time, where y is the number of pages and x is time
Crank
Printer A
y = 14x

Printer B
Time(min)       |  3  |  5  |  8  |  12  |
Pages printed | 48 | 80 | 128 | 192 |

Printer A prints 14(1) = 14 pages per minute.
Printer B prints 48/3 = 16 pages per minute.

The printer that prints at a faster rate is printer B.

nikitadnepr [17]
The first inequality has solution
  4p > -8 . . . . . . subtract 1
  p > -2 . . . . . . . divide by 4
This is graphed as an open dot at -2, with shading to the right.

Neither inequality symbol includes "or equal to", so both dots are open dots. The appropriate choice is the first one:
  a number line with open circles at negative 2 and 5 with shading in between

At what rate would you need to invest $12000 and make $2880 after 8 years?
lora16 [44]

Answer:

3\%

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The simple interest formula is equal to

I=P(rt)

where

I is the Final Interest Value

P is the Principal amount of money to be invested

r is the rate of interest  

t is Number of Time Periods

in this problem we have

t=8\ years\\ P=\$12,000\\I=\$2,880\\r=?

substitute in the formula above

2,880=12,000(8r)

Solve for t

2,880=96,000(r)

r=2,880/96,000

r=0.03

Convert to percent form

0.03*100=3\%

A friend tells you that he has a cubic equation with exactly three complex roots. Determine which explanation best explains why
Ksju [112]
Complex solutions, namely roots with a √(-1) or "i" in it, never come all by their lonesome, because an EVEN root like the square root, can have two roots that will yield the same radicand.

a good example for that will be √(4), well, (2)(2) is 4, so 2 is a root, but (-2)(-2) is also 4, therefore -2 is also a root, so you'd always get a pair of valid roots from an even root, like 2 or 4 or 6 and so on.

therefore, complex solutions or roots are never by their lonesome, their sister the conjugate is always with them, so if there's a root a + bi, her sister a - bi is also coming along too.

if complex solutions come in pairs, well, clearly a cubic equation can't yield 3 only.
