The only way to solve if it is equal to something
assuming that the teacher wanted you to make it equal to zero do
0=-3x^2-21x-54
remember if we can do
xy=0 then assume x and y=0
so factor
0=-3x^2-21x-54
undistribute the -3
0=-3(x^2+7x+18)
remember 0 times anything=0 so
x^2+7x+18 must equal zero
use quadratice formula which is
if you have
ax^2+bx+c=0 then
x=

x^2+7x+18
a=1
b=7
c=18
x=

x=

x=

i=√-1
x=

the zerose would be
x=

or
52% of 200
52/100=26/50=13/25•200/1= 2600/25=2600 divided by 25 is 104
The answer is 104
What you don't want is the value of r(t) becoming negative. Surely that would represent water escaping the reservoir.
How big can (t) get before water actually starts escaping the reservoir?
Essentially, to figure this out r(t) would have to be equal to 0.
700 - 40t = 0
40t=700
t=700/40=17.5
So the first answer is 17.5 seconds. After this amount of time has elapsed the reservoir will start to lose water as r(t) would become negative.
---------------
The reservoir had the least amount of water in it before it was being filled. That was when t=0. The volume of water in the reservoir wasn't negatively impacted as not enough water had escaped it during the 17.5 to 30 second period.
D because a straight line is 180 degrees. Since 2x+15 and 65 add up to a straight line (180 degrees) in the picture, the answer is D.
