Answer:

x = -4, -2

Step-by-step explanation:

-x² - 6x - 8 = 0

x² + 6x + 8 = 0

x² + 4x + 2x + 8 = 0

x(x + 4) + 2(x + 4) = 0

(x + 4)(x + 2) = 0

x = -4, -2

Answer:

x=-4 x=-2

Step-by-step explanation:

Set this equal to zero to find the solutions

0=- x^2-6x-8

Divide by -1

0/-1 = x^2 +6x+8

0 = x^2 +6x+8

Factor

What 2 numbers multiply to 8 and add to 6

4*2 = 8

4+2 = 6

0 = (x+4)(x+2)

Using the zero product property

x+4 = 0 x+2 =0

x=-4 x=-2

This robotic arm is made up of two cylinders with equal volume and two triangular prism hands. The volume of each hand is

BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

$\frac{r}{3\pi h+r}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the height isn't given, we assume it to be "h" (of cylinders). And the answer will be in terms of "r" and "h".

The area of 1 arm is given, so the area of 2 arms would be:

$A_{arm}=2*(\frac{1}{2}r*\frac{1}{3}r*2r)=\frac{2r^3}{3}$

Now, area of 2 cylinders would be the formula:

$A_{cyl}=2*(\pi r^2 h)=2\pi r^2 h$

So, total area is A_arm PLUS A_cyl. The fractional area the arms are would be gotten by taking expression A_arm divided by A_total.

Shown below:

$\frac{A_{arm}}{A_{total}}=\frac{\frac{2r^3}{3}}{2\pi r^2 h + \frac{2r^3}{3}}$

We simplify further:

$\frac{\frac{2r^3}{3}}{2\pi r^2 h + \frac{2r^3}{3}}\\=\frac{\frac{2r^3}{3}}{2r^2(\pi h + \frac{r}{3})}\\=\frac{r}{3(\pi h + \frac{r}{3})}\\=\frac{r}{3\pi h+r}$

THis is the answer.

Please someone help I am so lost.

HACTEHA [7]

You'll have to do the actual multiplication here:

3(n+2)(4n+1) 1 4n^2 + n + 8n + 2
-------------------- = ----- * ---------------------------
6 2 1

or (1/2) (4n^2 + 9n + 2), which, after mult., becomes

(1/2)(4n^2) + (1/2)(9n) + 1

This simplifies to 2n^2 + (9/2)n + 1

Therefore, write (1/2) in the first box and (1) in the second box.
