Answer: 19.2 inches would be the most reasonable answer, since the first two is too small, and the last answer would be too tall.
if there was 2 feet of water, it would be 24 inches full. taking 1 gallon out, wouldn't make the difference to make it go up or down much.
No, 0=0 has an infinite amount of solutions.
Answer:
It's like solving a quadratic, but in reverse, and in this case you'll arrive at x2+x−12=0
Explanation:
We're going to go "backwards" with this problem - normally we're asked to take a quadratic equation and find the roots. So we'll do what we normally do, but in reverse:
Let's start with the roots:
x=3, x=−4
So let's move the constants over with the x terms to have equations equal to 0:
x−3=0, x+4=0
Now we can set up the equation, as:
(x−3)(x+4)=0
We can now distribute out the 2 quantities:
x2+x−12=0
