A 100-gallon barrel, initially half-full of oil, develops a leak at the bottom. Let A(t) be the amount of oil in the barrel at t

gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

the mathematical model is : $-\frac{1}{A}= kt - \frac{1}{50}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Let A(t) to be the amount of oil in the barrel at time t.

However; Suppose that the amount of oil is decreasing at a rate proportional to the product of the time elapsed and the amount of oil present in the barrel.

Then,

$\frac{dA}{dt} \ \alpha \ A^2$

$\frac{dA}{dt}= KA^2$

Initially the 100 -gallon barrel is half-full of oil

So, A(0) = 100/2 = 50

$\frac{dA}{dt}= KA^2 \ \ \ \ \ \ :A(0)=50$

The variable is now being separated as:

$\frac{dA}{A^2}=kdl$

Taking integral of both sides; we have:

$\int\limits\frac{dA}{A^2}=\int\limits \ kdt$

$-\frac{1}{A}= kt +C$

However; since A(0) = 50; Then

t = 0 ; A =50 in the above equation

$-\frac{1}{50}= 0 +C$

$C = - \frac{1}{50}$

Thus; the mathematical model is : $-\frac{1}{A}= kt - \frac{1}{50}$

Two movie tickets and 3 snacks are $24. Three movies tickets and 4 snacks are $35. How much is a movie ticket and how much is a

Vsevolod [243]

Answer: A movie ticket is $9 while a snack is $2

Step-by-step explanation: We shall let a movie ticket be m while a snack is s. So, from the clues given, if two movie tickets and three snacks cost $24, we can write it as the following expression;

2m + 3s = 24

Also if three movie tickets and four snacks cost $35, we can as well write another expression as follows;

3m + 4s = 35.

Now we have a pair of simultaneous equations which are

2m + 3s = 24 ----------(1)

3m + 4s = 35 ----------(2)

We shall solve this by using the elimination method, since none of the variables has a coefficient of 1. We'll start by multiplying equation (1) by 3 and multiplying equation (2) by 2 (so as to eliminate the m variable)

2m + 3s = 24 -------- x3

3m + 4s = 35 ---------x2

We now arrive at the following

6m + 9s = 72--------(3)

6m + 8s = 70--------(4)

Subtract equation (4) from equation (3) and we arrive at

s = 2

Having determined that s equals 2 we can now substitute for the value of a into equation (1)

2m + 3s = 24

2m + 3(2) = 24

2m + 6 = 24

Subtract 6 from both sides of the equation

2m + 6 - 6 = 24 - 6

2m = 18

Divide both sides of the equation by 2

m= 9

Therefore one movie ticket costs $9 while one snack costs $2

which of the diagram below represents the contrapositive of the statement if it is an equilateral triangle,then it is an isoscel

GalinKa [24]

Answer:Contrapositive of a Statement , if A then B, states that, if not B ,then not A.

In the statement given:

A= A triangle is Equilateral

B=then the triangle is Isosceles.

So,→→Contrapositive of the statement, If A, then B will be ,not B,then Not A

Not B= The triangle is not Isosceles

Then ,Not A= the triangle is not equilateral.

→→Figure A, matches with "Contrapositive of the statement “if it is an equilateral triangle, then it is an isosceles triangle”
