Answer:

$\frac{18}{25}=0.72$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{4}{18}=0.22$

$\frac{13}{24}=0.52$

$\frac{12}{20}=0.60$

$\frac{18}{25}=0.72$

Hope This Helps! :D

If the factors of quadratic function g are (x-7) and (x+3), what are the zeros of function g?

natulia [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

1. you set each expression equal to 0.

x-7=0 and x+3=0

2. Next you need to get the variable by itself so you would add 7 to both sides on the first equation and subtract 3 from both sides for the second one.

3. So your answers would be x=7 and x=-3. Those are the zeros.

Can someone please help me with number 2?I don't know what I did wrong.

Dmitry [639]

Part A

Let's say point P is the starting point and point Q is the endpoint

x = one-way distance from P to Q, and vice versa

The goal is to find x, then compute 2x to find the round trip distance traveled.

We'll use this idea

distance = rate*time

which solves to

time = distance/rate

So when going from P to Q, the driver is going 70 mph and travels x miles

So the driver does this for distance/time = x/70 hours.

When going back, the driver slows down to 55 mph so the time taken here is x/55 hours.

The total time values add to x/70 + x/55 hours

Set this equal to the total driving time of 7 hours and solve for x

x/70 + x/55 = 7

70*55*(x/70 + x/55) = 70*55*7

70*55*(x/70) + 70*55*(x/55) = 26,950

55x + 70x = 26,950

125x = 26,950

x = (26,950)/125

x = 215.6 which is the one-way distance in miles

which then means,

2x = 2*215.6 = 431.2

Therefore, the total distance traveled is 431.2 miles

<h3>Answer: 431.2 miles</h3>

=========================================================

Part B

To find the duration of each trip, we simply need to evaluate x/70 and x/55. Those are the durations when going 70 mph and 55 mph respectively. These durations are measured in hours.

x/70 = (215.6)/70 = 3.08

x/55 = (215.6)/55 = 3.92

Note how 3.08+3.92 = 7 to help verify the answers.

<h3>Answers:</h3>

When going 70 mph, it takes about 3.08 hours
When going 55 mph, it takes about 3.92 hours

An aquarium with a square base has no top. There is a metal frame. Glass costs 8 dollars/m^2 and the frame costs 7 dollars/m. Th

Irina-Kira [14]

Given that the volume of the aquarium is 20m^3.

Volume = Area of Base x height

Area of Base = Volume / height = 20/h

Given that the aquarium has a square base.

Area of square = l^2

Thus, the length of the base of the aquarium is $\sqrt{area \ of \ base} = \sqrt{ \frac{20}{h} }$

The frame is to cover 8 sides with the length equal to the length of the base and 4 sides with the length of the height.

Thus, the total perimeter of the frame is given by $8\sqrt{\frac{20}{h}}+4h= \sqrt{64\left(\frac{20}{h}\right)}+4h = \sqrt{\frac{1,280}{h}}+4h$

Area of the four side faces of the aquarium is 4 times the length of the base times the height = $4\times\sqrt{ \frac{20}{h} }\times h=\sqrt{16\left(\frac{20}{h}\right)h^2}=\sqrt{320h}$

Total area to be covered by grass is the base and the four side faces and is given by $\frac{20}{h}+\sqrt{320h}$

Cost of the entire metal frame = $7\left(\sqrt{\frac{1,280}{h}}+4h\right)= \sqrt{49\left(\frac{1,280}{h}\right)}+7(4h) = \sqrt{\frac{62,720}{h}}+28h$

Cost of the entire grass = $8\left(\frac{20}{h}+\sqrt{320h}\right)=\frac{160}{h}+\sqrt{64(320h)}=\frac{160}{h}+\sqrt{20,480h$

Therefore, total cost in terms of the height, h, is given by

$C=\sqrt{\frac{62,720}{h}}+28h+\frac{160}{h}+\sqrt{20,480h$
