The EverGlow nuclear power plant releases water into Lake Fishbegone every afternoon at 4:51 p.m. Environmental researchers are

concerned that fish are being driven away from the area around the plant. They believe that the temperature of the water discharged may be a factor. The data table below gives the temperature of the water released by the plant and the measured distance (in meters) from the outflow pipe of the plant to the nearest fish found in the water on several randomly chosen afternoons. A scatterplot of the data and the least-squares regression line are given.
What is the slope of the least-squares regression line? *
A. -74.704
B. 5.791
C. 12.196
D. 0.946

How do I factor out a constant before factoring out a quadratic? <br>Factor completely: 3w^2-3w-90
pantera1 [17]
3w^2-3w-90 =0 \ \ \:3 \\ \\w^2- w-30 =0 \\ \\a=1 , \ b= -1 , c= -30 \\ \\\Delta =b^2-4ac = (-1)^2 -4\cdot1\cdot (-30) =1+120=121 \\ \\w_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta} }{2a}=\frac{1-\sqrt{121}}{2 }=\frac{ 1-11}{2}=\frac{-10}{2}=-5

w_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta} }{2a}=\frac{1+\sqrt{121}}{2 }=\frac{ 1+11}{2}=\frac{12}{2}=6 \\ \\ Answer:\\ \\ w^2- w-30 =(x+5)(x-6)

The rectangular prism has a volume of 936 cubic inches. Write and solve an equation to find the missing dimension of the prism.
nikdorinn [45]

Step-by-step explanation:

A rectangular prism is nothing but a cuboid. Let the length , width and height of the  rectangular prism be l, w and h.

We know that volume of a cuboid V = l×w×h

So,  l×w×h = 936

So, we can find any dimension of the prism provided the the other two dimensions are given to us.
