Answer:
x = ± 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
16 - 2x² = - 64 ( subtract 16 from both sides )
- 2x² = - 80 ( divide both sides by - 2 )
x² = 40 ( take the square root of both sides )
x = ±
= ±
= ± 2
Answer: 2/3 feet per minute
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question, we are informed that a caterpillar moves across the grass at a rate of 4 2/3 feet every 7 minutes.
The rate at which the caterpillar move in feet per minute will be:
= 4 2/3 ÷ 7
= 14/3 ÷ 7
= 14/3 × 1/7
= 14/21
= 2/3 feet per minute
