Answer:

n = -6 or n = 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

-3 | -8n – 8 | = -120

Divide both sides by -3:

| -8n – 8 | = 40

This gives us 2 equations because the expression in the absolute signs can be positive or negative:

-8n - 8 = 40

so -8n = 48

n = -6.

and

-8n - 8 = -40

-8n = -32

n = 4.

A forest fire covers 1600 acres at time t=0. the fire is growing at a rate of 9\sqrt{t} acres per hour, where t is in hours. how

babymother [125]

To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:

1. You have that the forest fire covers 1600 acres at time t=0. the fire is growing at a rate of 9√t<span> acres per hour. Therefore, you have:
</span>
1600+∫(9√t)dt (from 0 to 16)

2. Then, when you solve it, you obtain:

1600+6t^3/2=1984

3. Therefore, as you can see, the answer is: 1984 acres.
