Answer:
x = -4, 5/2
Step-by-step explanation:
A quadratic can be solved may ways, including graphing, factoring, and the quadratic formula. You can also check possible answers by making use of the relationships between solutions and the coefficients.
__
A graph is attached. It shows the solutions to be -4 and 5/2.
__
When factored, the equation becomes ...
(2x -5)(x +4) = 0 . . . . . has solutions x=-4, x=5/2 (these make the factors zero)
__
Using the quadratic formula, the solutions of ax^2 +bx +c = 0 are found from ...
x = (-b±√(b²-4ac))/(2a)
x = (-3±√(3²-4(2)(-20))/(2(2)) = (-3±√169)/4 = {-16, +10}/4
x = {-4, 5/2}
__
For ax^2 +bx +c = 0, the solutions must satisfy ...
product of solutions is c/a = -20/2 = -10
Only the first and last choices have this product.
sum of solutions is -b/a = -3/2
Only the first choice (-4, 5/2) has this sum.
The given radius is = 60 feet
The volume of the sphere is given by =
So we will find the volume of the sphere using radius as 60 and pi as 3.14
Volume = = 902059.20 cubic feet
As quarter of anything is defined as its one-fourth part, so here the volume of the quarter of sphere can be calculated by finding one fourth of the calculated volume.
So volume of quarter sphere =
= 225514.80 cubic feet
And rounding this to nearest whole number we get 225515 cubic feet as the answer.
