Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

2x² + 7x = 15 ( subtract 15 from both sides )

2x² + 7x - 15 = 0 ← in standard form

To factorise the left side

Consider the factors of the product of the coefficient of the x² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term

product = 2 × - 15 = - 30 and sum = + 7

The factors are + 10 and - 3

Use these factors to split the x- term

2x² + 10x - 3x - 15 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )

2x(x + 5) - 3(x + 5) ← factor out (x + 5) from each term

(x + 5)(2x - 3) ← in factored form

An ice cream cone has a diameter of 3 inches.The distance from the top of the cone to the point at the bottom (height) is 5 inch

solong [7]

Answer:

11.781 cubic inches (round accordingly)

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the volume of a cone is:

$V=\frac{1}{3}\pi r^{2} h$

where r is the radius and h is the height.

For our ice cream cone:

d = 3 inches

r = 1.5 inches (the radius is half of the diameter)

h= 5 inches

So all we have to do is plug in our values and solve for the volume:

$\frac{1}{3}\pi (1.5)^{2}(5) = 11.781$

So our final answer is around 11.8 cubic inches.
