Answer:
s = - 1 ± 
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
s² + 2s - 6 = 0 ( add 6 to both sides )
s² + 2s = 6
To complete the square
add ( half the coefficient of the s- term )² to both sides
s² + 2(1)s + 1 = 6 + 1
(s + 1)² = 7 ( take the square root of both sides )
s + 1 = ± ( subtract 1 from both sides )
s = - 1 ±
Thus
s = - 1 - , s = - 1 +
Answer:
x=4
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve for x, use inverse operations:
-8x+3 = -29 Subtract 3 from both sides
-8x +3 -3 = -29 -3
-8x = -32 Divide both sides by -8
x = 4
By the Pythagorean Theorem:
L^2=20^2+15^2
L^2=400+225
L^2=625
L=25 m
In this question, you are given the width( 20 miles), the length(28 miles) and the height( 1 inch). You are asked to count the rain water volume which was going with formula length x width x height. But the unit asked is ft, so you need to convert them all. The calculation would be:
Water volume= length x width x height
Water volume= 20 miles x 5280ft/miles x 28 miles x 5280ft/miles x 1inch x 1ft/12inch
Water volume = 1300992000 cubic ft.
