Answer: 320 mL

Step-by-step explanation:

Given information

The bottle is currently 3/8 full

Current Volume = 240 mL

Concept:

Imagine the water in the bottle being separated into 8 parts

Currently, 3 parts are being occupied

Determine the volume for 1 part

3 parts = 240 mL

1 part = 240 / 3 = 80 mL

Determine the volume for half-full (4 parts)

1 part = 80 mL

4 parts = 80 × 4 = $\Large\boxed{320~mL}$

Hope this helps!! :)

An object is thrown from a platform. Its height (in meters), x seconds after launch, is modeled by h (x) = -5 (x + 1) (x -9)

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This is already factored for us, which is really nice, so now all we need to do is apply the Zero Product Property to the sets of parenthesis and solve for x, which will give us the 2 times that the object is on the ground.

x + 1 = 0 so

x = -1

x - 9 = 0 so

x = 9

We all know that time cannot ever be negative, so the time that the object is on the ground is 9 seconds after it's launched (which was from an initial height of 45 meters).

Water tank A has a capacity of 550 gallons and is 66% full. Water tank B is 53% full. The ratio of the capacity of T. How much w

Anna71 [15]

Tank A capacity = 550 gallons 66% x 550 gallons = 363 gallons in Tank A

How about the water in tank B?

ratio of 11: 15 11/15 = 550/x 550 * 15/11 = cap B = 750 gal 53% 0f 750 = .53 x 750 = 397.5 gal in tank B

Let f(x)=2x2−8 .

MrRa [10]

Move down c units means minus 2 from whole function

f(x) moved down 2 units means f(x)-2
so

f(x)-2=2x²-8-2
f(x)-2=2x²-10

g(x)=2x²-10
