is it possible to store a 20 foot long pipe in a rectangular room that is 10 feet by 12 feet by 8 feet?

First we'll consider the floor size.
In a 10 by 12 room the longest pipe that will fit lying on the floor equals the hypotenuse of a 10 by 12 triangle:
hypotenuse² = 10² + 12²
hypotenuse² = 100 + 144
hypotenuse² = 244
hypotenuse = 15.62 feet

Now we have to consider the third dimension (height = 8 feet).
The two sides would be 15.62 and 8
hypotenuse² = 15.62² + 8²
hypotenuse² = 244 + 64 = 308
hypotenuse = 17.55
So, the longest pipe that would fit in that room would be 17.55 feet long.

No, if the pipe is 20 foot long that means the room would have be 20 foot long, tall, or wide which its not.

Find the x-intercept(s) of y = 2x2 - 3x - 5. A) -5 B) 2 1/2, -1 C) 3, -5 D) 5, -1

Answer:

$\large\boxed{B)\ 2\frac{1}{2},\ -1}$

Step-by-step explanation:

x-intercepts are for y = 0.

We have the equation:

$y=2x^2-3x-5$

Therefore

$2x^2-3x-5=0\\\\2x^2+2x-5x-5=0\\\\2x(x+1)-5(x+1)=0\\\\(x+1)(2x-5)+0\iff x+1=0\ \vee\ 2x-5=0\\\\x+1=0\qquad\text{subtract 1 from both sides}\\\boxed{x=-1}\\\\2x-5=0\qquad\text{add 5 to both sides}\\2x=5\qquad\text{divide both sides by 2}\\\boxed{x=2\frac{1}{2}}$
