Good evening

Answer:

<h2>14.7838 grams</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

<em><u>Rule : </u></em>_____________________________________________________

decrease something by p% then decrease by q% means multiply by

(1-\frac{p}{100})(1-\frac{q}{100})

__________________________________________________________

Note : <em>in our case the amount of water in the solution has decreased by 3.5% then by 4.25% consecutively</em>____________________________________

Let’s apply what we have learnt:

the amount of water remaining in the solution at the end of the second hour is

16(1-\frac{3.5}{100})(1-\frac{4.25}{100})=14.7838

Hope this helps.

Answer:

3.5% decrease means 96.5% remaining

0.965(16)

4.25% decrease means 95.75% remaining

0.9575(0.965(16))

= 14.7838 grams

Solve 3x^2 + 6x+15=0
Elden [556K]

Answer:

The solution of given equation is ( - 1 + 2 i ) , ( - 1 - 2 i )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation as :

3 x² + 6 x +15 = 0

The value of x fro the quadratic equation a x² + b x + c = 0 is obtained as

x = \frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}

So , from given eq , the value of x is now obtain as

x = \frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^{2}-4\times a\times c}}{2\times a}

Or, x =  \frac{-6\pm \sqrt{6^{2}-4\times 3\times 15}}{2\times 3}

Or, x = \frac{\sqrt{-144} }{6}

∴   x = ( - 1 + 2 i ) , ( - 1 - 2 i )

Hence The solution of given equation is ( - 1 + 2 i ) , ( - 1 - 2 i )  Answer
