Answer:

x1

Step-by-step explanation:

We have:

(x+5)(x-1)

And we want to find the value of x such that the expression is positive. So, we can write this as the following inequality:

(x+5)(x-1)>0

Solve for the inequality. First, we can solve for the zeros like a normal quadratic. So, pretend the inequality is with an equal sign:

(x+5)(x-1)=0

Zero Product Property:

x+5=0\text{ or } x-1=0

On the left, subtract 5.

On the right, add 1.

So, our zeros are:

x=-5, 1

Since our inequality is a <em>greater than</em>, our answer is an "or" inequality with our answer being all the values to the <em>left</em> of our lesser zero and all the values to the <em>right </em>of our greater zero.

So, our solution is:

x1

And we're done!

Answer:

The regions where (x+5) (x-1) >0 is x< -5  or x>1

Step-by-step explanation:

(x+5) (x-1) >0

First find the zeros

(x+5) =0    x-1 =0

x= -5      x=1

We then have to check the regions

x< -5              -5 <x<1                  x>1

First x< -5

(x+5) (x-1)

X+5 will be negative  ( x-1) will be negative

(-) * (-) = +  so the values will be positive

Then     -5 <x<1      

X+5  will be positive   ( x-1) will be negative

( +) * (-)  will be negative

First x>1

(x+5) (x-1)

X+5 will be positive  ( x-1) will be positive

(+) * (+) = +  so the values will be positive

The regions where (x+5) (x-1) >0 is x< -5  or x>1

Tyler is building a fish tank in the shape of a sphere that has a diameter of 14 inches. Based on Tyler's research, it is recomm
Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

Tyler should buy 2 goldfishes for his fish tank,

Step-by-step explanation:

First let's find the volume of the sphere, using the following equation:

Volume = (4/3) * \pi * radius^3

The radius is half the diameter, so the radius is 14/2 = 7 inches

Now, finding the volume, we have:

Volume = (4/3) * \pi * 7^3

Volume = 1436.75\ in^3

Now, we know that we need to have 1 goldfish for every 693 in3 of water, so to find the number of goldfishes, we just need to divide the volume of the sphere by 693 (and round down the result if needed):

Number\ of\ goldfishes = 1436.75 / 693 = 2.07 = 2\ goldfishes

Tyler should buy 2 goldfishes for his fish tank,
