The solution is -0.609611 and -1.64, I do not think you can simply find this by factoring but the only way is graphing it

Answer: The solutions are:

x1 = (- 9 + √17)/8 = -0.6

x2 = (-9 -  √17)/8 = -1.6

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the equation:

4*x^2 = -9x - 4

first we put all the terms in one side of the equation:

4x^2 + 9x + 4 = 0

now, we use the Bhaskara's equation to find the roots:

where for a function:

ax^2 + bx + c = 0

the roots are:

x = (-b +- √(b^2 - 4ac))/2a

where each root takes one of the possible signs of the square root.

so, in our case we have:

x = (-9 +- √(9^2 - 4*4*4))/(2*4) = (- 9 +- √17)/8

then the solutions are:

x1 = (- 9 + √17)/8 = -0.6

x2 = (-9 -  √17)/8 = -1.6

Four lawn sprinkler heads are fed by a 1.9-cm-diameter pipe. The water comes out of the heads at an angle of 35° above the horiz
klemol [59]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Angle, θ = 35°

Vertical distance, Δx = 6 m

Diameter, d = 1.9 cm

= 0.019 m

A.

When the water leaves the sprinkler, it does so at a projectile motion.

Therefore,

Using equation of motion,

(t × Vox) = 2Vo²(sin θ × cos θ)/g

= Δx = 2Vo²(sin 35 × cos 35)/g

Vo² = (6 × 9.8)/(2 × sin 35 × cos 35)

= 62.57

Vo = 7.91 m/s

B.

Area of sprinkler, As = πD²/4

Diameter, D = 3 × 10^-3 m

As = π × (3 × 10^-3)²/4

= 7.069 × 10^-6 m²

V_ = volume rate of the sprinkler

= area, As × velocity, Vo

= (7.069 × 10^-6) × 7.91

= 5.59 × 10^-5 m³/s

Remember,

1 m³ = 1000 liters

= 5.59 × 10^-5 m³/s × 1000 liters/1 m³

= 5.59 × 10^-2 liters/s

= 0.0559 liters/s.

For the 4 sprinklers,

The rate at which volume is flowing in the 4 sprinklers = 4 × 0.0559

= 0.224 liters/s

C.

Area of 1.9 cm pipe, Ap = πD²/4

= π × (0.019)²/4

= 2.84 × 10^-4 m²

Volumetric flowrate of the four sprinklers = 4 × 5.59 × 10^-5 m³/s

= 2.24 × 10^-4 m³/s

Velocity of the water, Vw = volumetric flowrate/area

= 2.24 × 10^-4/2.84 × 10^-4

= 0.787 m/s

The box plots represent the ages of pennies in two 50-cent rolls. By looking at the plots, Beth says that the two means are abou
Jlenok [28]

Answer:

The correct option is D

D) She may not be correct because means cannot be determined from the box plots

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is incomplete because the box plots are not attached in the question. I've attached the box plots of this question at the bottom.

The box plot, also know as box and whisker plot, displays only five type of values, which are:

  1. Minimum value
  2. First Quartile
  3. Median
  4. Third Quartile
  5. Maximum value

Mean cannot be determined by just lookin at the box plots. To find the mean, we need to know the values of data and total number of values.

As mean cannot be determined from the box plot, correct option is D

Find the measure of an angle whose measure is 60 degrees more than the measure of its complement
Natasha2012 [34]
Two complementary angles add up to 90 degrees. Hence, the problem can be set up and solved. Let x represents one angle and 5x represent the angle that is 5 times greater:x + 5x = 90 (simplify)6x = 90 (next divide both sides by 6 to find the value of x [the smaller angle])x = 15 (this is the smaller angle, next subtract 15 from 90 to find the greater angle)90 - 15 = 75 (this is the greater angle which is 5 times that of its complement) <span>90 take away 73...</span>
