[1] Amount of water per minute
Water Miser:  m = 3.0 gal/min
Watersaver:   m = 2.5 gal/min
Waterstream: m = 1.5 gal/min

[2] Equations:
I would suggest using y = mx.
Water Miser:  y = 3x
Watersaver:   y = 2.5x
Waterstream: y = 1.5x

[3] For 6,8,10, and 12 minutes:
Plug in x = 6, x = 8, x = 10, and x = 12 into each of the three equations and record the y-values.

[4] Which would you buy?
Depends on your personal opinion.

Want to save the earth? Pick the one that uses the least amount of water.

Want to have a waterfall for a shower? Pick the one that uses the most amount of water. :)

Which expression is a factor of this polynomial?
sesenic [268]

The factor is the solution of zeros of the equation and x + 2 making it zero therefore x + 2 will be the solution of the given polynomial so option (B) will be correct.

<h3>What are the roots of an equation?</h3>

Roots of an equation are the solution of that equation since an equation consists of hidden values of the variable to determine them by different processes and then the resultant is called roots.

Given the polynomial,

x³ + 2x² - 9x - 18

A factor is consist of a solution of zeros of any polynomial.

For example;

x² + 5x + 6 = 0

x(x + 2) + 3(x + 2) = 0

(x + 3)(x + 2) = 0

Here x + 3 and x + 2 are factor and solution is x = -3 and -2

Similarly,

x³ + 2x² - 9x - 18 = 0

The factor must be the solution to this.

By cross-checking option

Option (A) x + 1 = 0 → x = -1

Keeping x = -1

(-1)³ + 2(-1)² - 9(-1) - 18 = -8 ≠ 0 so it is not the factor.

Option (B) (x + 2) = 0 → x = -2

(-2)³ + 2(-2)² - 9(-2) - 18

-8 + 8 + 18 - 18 = 0 = 0 so it will be factor of the polynomial.

Hence " x + 2 will be the solution of the given polynomial".

If 30% of John's photographs were perfect, but 210 photographs were not perfect, then how many photographs were there in all?
anyanavicka [17]
If 30% were perfect, 70% were not perfect.  So we know that 70% of the total number of photographs is 210.

p(70/100)=210  multiply both sides by 100

70p=21000  divide both sides by 70

p=300

So there are 300 photographs in all.

Find the area of the following shape. Show work.
Serga [27]

Answer:

The total area:

12 units²

Step-by-step explanation:

There are three parts on this shape:

1 big right triangle

1 rectangle

1 small right triangle

  • Big right triangle:

area = (4*4)/2 = 16/2 = 8units²

  • Rectangle:

area = 2*1 = 2units²

  • Small right triangle:

area = (2*2)/2 = 2units²

  • Total area

8+2+2 = 12 units²
