Answer: 800pi inches
=======================================
Explanation:
The formula to find the circumference of a circle is
C = pi*d
where
C = distance around the circle (aka circumference)
pi = 3.14 approximately
d = diameter
We know that the diameter of the wheel is d = 8, so
C = pi*d
C = pi*8
C = 8pi
is the circumference of the wheel
One full rotation will have the wheel cover a distance of 8pi inches. Imagine that wet paint is on the outer surface of the wheel. If the wheel is rolled out in a straight line, then the wet paint would cover a linear distance of 8pi inches along the flat ground. This is one full rotation, so 100 rotations covers 100*8pi = 800pi inches
Note: if we use pi = 3.14 as the approximation, then the hamster ran approximately 800*pi = 800*3.14 = 2512 inches if the wheel could move
Here is the problem.....√(15x + 10) = 2x+3
to remove the square root, we do the opposite which is to square everything.
(√(15x + 10))² = (2x + 3)² (the square negates the square root)
15x + 10 = (2x +3)(2x + 3) (use the distributive property to continue)
15x + 10 = 4x² + 6x + 6x + 9 (combine like terms)
15x + 10 = 4x² + 12x + 9 (subtract 15x and 10 from each side)
-15x - 10 -15x - 10
0 = 4x² - 3x - 1 (factor completely)
(x - 1) (4x + 1) (set each to equal 0)
x - 1 = 0 4x + 1 = 0
x = 1 4x = -1
x = -1/4
place both into the equation to check for reasonableness...we see the negative number is not reasonable, but the x value of 1 is a solution.
answer is 1
Huh? Someone translate this for me plz
