Twelve and nine thousandths
Answer:
x=-3 x=-1 x=2 x=-2
Step-by-step explanation:
p(x) = (x^2 + 4x + 3)(x^2 – 4)
Set this equal to zero to find the x intercepts
0 = (x^2 + 4x + 3)(x^2 – 4)
Using the zero product property
(x^2 + 4x + 3) =0 (x^2 – 4) =0
Factor
(x+3)(x+1) =0 (x-2) (x+2)=0
Using the zero product property
x+3 =0 x+1 =0 x-2 =0 x+2 =0
x=-3 x=-1 x=2 x=-2
A "solution" would be a set of three numbers ... for Q, a, and c ... that
would make the equation a true statement.
If you only have one equation, then there are an infinite number of triplets
that could do it. For example, with the single equation in this question,
(Q, a, c) could be (13, 1, 2) and they could also be (16, 2, 1).
There are infinite possibilities with one equation.
In order to have a unique solution ... three definite numbers for Q, a, and c ...
you would need three equations.
I am not sure, but this is what I got:
<span>Pipe ALONE = 18 hours
Pipe ALONE in 1 hour = 1/18 of the pool
Hose ALONE in 1 hour = 1/25 of the pool
TOGETHER in 1 HOUR = 1/18 +1/25 = 43/450
TOGETHER they will fill the pool in 450/43 hours
So 5/6 of the pool will take 5/6 X 450/43 = 2250/ 258 = 8.7209302 hours OR
8 hours AND 43.26 minutes ANSWER

Hope this helps!
