New pump:
5 hours = 1 pool
1 hour = 1/5 pool

Old pump:
15h = 1 pool
1h = 1/15 pool

If both work together
1h = 1/5 + 1/15 = 4/15 pool

4/15 pool = 1 hour
1/15 pool = 1/4 hour
15/15 pool = 1/4 x 15 
1 pool = 3.75 hours or 3 hours 45 mins

Given the figure of a regular pyramid

The base of the pyramid is a hexagon with a side length = 6

The lateral area is 6 times the area of one of the side triangles

So, the side triangle has a base = 6

The height will be:

\begin{gathered} h^2=6^2+(\frac{\sqrt[]{3}}{2}\cdot6)^2=36+27=63 \\ h=\sqrt[]{63} \end{gathered}

so, the lateral area =

6\cdot\frac{1}{2}\cdot6\cdot\sqrt[]{63}=18\sqrt[]{63}

Which is a quadratic function having a leading coefficient of 3 and a constant term of –12? f(x) = –12x2 3x 1 f(x) = 3x2 11x – 1
eimsori [14]

The correct option is b.

<h2>Quadratic Equation</h2>

A quadratic equation is an equation that can be written in the form of

ax²+bx+c.

Where a is the leading coefficient, and

c is the constant.

<h2>Leading coefficient </h2>

The leading coefficient of an equation is a coefficient of the term having the highest power in the equation.

Given options:

a.)  f(x) = -12x^2+3x+1 \\

b.)  f(x) = 3x^2+11x-12 \\

c.)  f(x) = 12x^2+3x+3\\

d.)  f(x) = 3x -12.

<h3 /><h3>Solution</h3>

As it is given that the leading coefficient of the equation is 3. therefore, the value of the 'a' in the general quadratic equation is 3,

3x²+bx+c,

Also, the value of the constant is -12, therefore, the value of c is -12,

3x²+bx-12

From all the given options the only feasible option is b only.

Hence, the correct option is b.
