5x^2 - 125 = 0
5x^2 = 125
x^2 = 125/5
x^2 = 25
x = 5, -5

hope this help

Remember
a^2-b^2=(a-b)(a+b)

first factor out 5
5(x^2-25)=0
or
5(x^2-5^2)=0
5(x-5)(x+5)=0
set to zero
x-5=0
x=5
x+5=0
x=-5

x=-5 and 5

A lumber company needs to estimate the volume of wood a load of timber will produce. The supervisor knows that the volume of woo

Hitman42 [59]

Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

Let the volume be represented by 'V'

Since it is given that Volume varies with height 'h' and square of the girth 'g' we can write

$V=khg^2$ where 'k' is a constant of proportionality

Now it is given that volume is 288 cubic meters for h= 40 meters and g =1.5 meters we can write

$288=k\times 40\times 1.5^2\\\\\therefore k=\frac{288}{40\times 1.5^{2}}=3.2$

Thus the volume of the timber as a relation is

$V=3.2\times hg^{2}$

Part b)

Volume of 50 trees with height 75 meters and girth 2 meters is

$V=50\times 3.2\times 75\times 2^{2}\\\\\therefore V=48000m^{3}$

Answer:

b=-79

Step-by-step explanation:

(10,11) means x=10,y=11

m=9 b=?

y=mx+b

Make b the subject of formula

b=y-mx

b=11-9(10)

b=11-90

b=-79

A parking garage charges $1.50 for the 1st hour of parking and $0.75 for each additional hour. What is the cost in dollars for p

QveST [7]

The equation you have to solve is 1.50 + (0.75 • 6). First, you solve what is in the parenthesis, 0.75 • 6 = 4.50. Now you simply add 1.50 and 4.50 to get $6, the total cost for 7 hours worth of parking.
