4b²+20b+25=0
Divide everything by 4
b²+5b+ 6.25=0
use the quadratic formula
x= (-b+ or - √b²-4ac) /2a
x= (-5 + or - √5²-4*1*6.25) /2(1)
x= -5/2 so
in this case, b= -5/2
If you are having trouble with ratios you can look at them as fractions. The first number being the numerator and the second number being the denominator or the other way around. When you are asked to find an equivalent ratio, you just have to find an equivalent fraction.
Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
subtract 5 from both sides
Answer:
d. 27 cubic feet
Step-by-step explanation:
volume of cube = s^3 = B * s
volume of pyramid = (1/3) * B * h
The volume of a pyramid is 1/3 of the area of the base multiplied by the height. The volume of a cube is the area of the base multiplied by the height. Since the volume of a pyramid has the fraction 1/3 and the volume of the cube does not, then the volume of a cube is 3 times greater than the volume of a pyramid that fits inside and has the same base area.
volume of pyramid = 9 cu ft
volume of cube = 3 * 9 cu ft = 27 cu ft
Answer: d. 27 cubic feet
