It lines up right at the, 2 1/2 inches mark so i believe that is your answer!
Hey there, 15/16 as a decimal is 0.9375, and all you do is add the 4 to 0.9375 and the decimal will become 4.9375. Therefore, 4 15/16 as a decimal is 4.9375
Given:
The function, f(x) = -2x^2 + x + 5
Quadratic equation: 0 = -2x^2 + x +5
where a = -2
b = 1
c = 5
The discriminate b^2 - 4ac = 41
To solve for the zeros of the quadratic function, use this formula:
x = ( -b +-√ (b^2 - 4ac) ) / 2a
x = ( 1 + √41 ) / 4 or 1.85
x = ( 1 - √41 ) / 4 or -1.35
Therefore, the zeros of the quadratic equation are 1.85 and -1.35.
The volume of the cone is 18.85
