Find how many piranhas you can put in a cylindrical tank

Answer: The correct answer is 10 piranhas.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the total Volume of a cylinder we have to use the following formula:

Volume = Area * Height

Area = π * r² , where r= radius

The diameter is always the twice the radius so the diameter is 4 feet in this case and the radius is 2 feet so the area is

Area= 3.1416 * (2*2)

Area = 3.1416 * 4

Area = 12.5664 square feet

Volume = 12.5664 (area) * 1.25 (height).

Volume = 15.708 cubic feet

Each piranha needs 1.5 cubic feet so we have to divide the total Volume by the volume that each piranha needs

15.708/ 1.5 = 10.472 or ten pirahnas because we can't put a fraction of a piranha in the tank.

never [62]

0.75 (1/2x) = 60

60/3 is 20, which is 25% of her remaining money,
So her total remaining money is $80.

Then 80 x 2 = 160

Show all work to factor x^4 − 5x^2 + 4 completely.

Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

(x+1) (x-1) (x+2) (x-2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let u = x^2

= u^2 - 5u + 4

(Factor u^2 - 5u + 4)

= (u-1) (u-4)

Substitute back u = x^2

= (x^2 -1 ) (x^2 - 4)

Factor x^2 - 1 and x^2 -4

= (x+1) (x-1) (x+2) (x-2)

Hope this helped... :)

PLEASE HELP!! Identify the minium value of the function

timama [110]

Because this is a positive parabola, it opens upwards, like a cup, and the vertex dictates what the minimum value of the function is. In order to determine the vertex, I recommend completing the square. Do that by first setting the function equal to 0 and then moving the 9 to the other side by subtraction. So far: $x^2+6x=-9$ . Now, to complete the square, take half the linear term, square it, and add that number to both sides. Our linear term is 6. Half of 6 is 3 and 3 squared is 9. So add 9 to both sides. $x^2+6x+9=-9+9$ . The right side reduces to 0, and the left side simplifies to the perfect square binomial we created while completing this process. $(x+3)^2=0$ . Move the 0 back over and the vertex is clear now. It is (-3, 0). Therefore, 0 is the minimum point on your graph. The first choice above is the one you want.
