Answer:

Depth of the rain gutter is 8 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let’s assume ‘x’ is the depth of the rain gutter

Then the width of the rain gutter can be written as 16 - 2x

Cross sectional area

A = depth x width

Substitute values

A = x*(16 - 2x)

A = 16x – 2x^2

Now according to axis of symmetry for maximum area x = -b/2a

x = -16/2*(-2)

x = 4 inches depth of rain gutter, substitute the value of x to get

Width of rain gutter 16 – 2(4) = 8 inches

Area of the rain gutter for maximum water flow

A = 4 * 8

A = 32 square inch.

Answer:

the second one 9v+36

Step-by-step explanation:

because with the way it set up it wants you to multiply 9 by everything inside of the parenthesis so 9 times v is 9v and 9 times 4 is 36 thus 9v+36 and you also take the addition symbol from inside the parenthesis.

<span>D. lie in the same plane.
</span><span>
The definition of capillarity is that points are considered as co-planar when these points are on the same plane, so it is obvious that the answer D is true because this statement is the definition of capillarity. This is shown in Figure 1.

</span><span>A. lie on the same line.
</span><span>
If four points lie on the same line then there will be a plane that contains this line, therefore the definition is fulfilled. This is shown in Figure 2.

Given that f(x) = x^2 - 4x +1, find the value of m if f(m) = -3
iragen [17]

a. Answer:  m = 2

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

f(x) = x² - 4x + 1

f(m) = m² - 4m + 1 = -3

         m² - 4m + 4 = 0

         (m - 2)(m - 2) = 0

               m = 2

***************************************************

b. Answer:  k = 2 and k = 5

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

f(x) = x² - 7x + 14

f(k) = k² - 7k + 14 = 4

        k² - 7k + 10 = 0

        (k - 2)(k - 5) = 0

        k = 2   k = 5
