Water-cement ratio is the ration of mass of water to the mass of cement.
Numerically it is around 0.5, depending on the desired strength and workability.
A low ratio results in a dry mix which is difficult to compact, with a risk of developing voids in the final concrete.
A high ratio weakens the concrete, and is highly undesirable if strength is important.
To improve both the strength and workability of the concrete, sometime plasticizers are added.
It would have been appropriate to post this question in the Engineering section (if one is available).
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that
Length of flat piece of material=14 in
Width of flat piece of material=6 in
We have to find the volume of box as a function of x.
An open box is made from flat piece of material by cutting equal squares of length x from the corner and folding up the sides.
Therefore, Height of box=x in
Length of box=14-2x in
Width of box=6-2x in
We know that volume of box=
Using the formula
Volume of box=f(x)=

Answer:
k = 13
smallest zero = -6
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x) is basically the function of x.
x could be any integer. f(x) is the solution of the function of x.
f(x) is defined as x² + 3x - 10
f(x) = x² + 3x - 10
Now, f(x+5) = x² + kx + 30
This statement here says that if the value of x is x+5, then the answer would be x² + kx + 30.
f(x) = x² + 3x - 10
f(x+5) = (x+5)² + 3(x+5) - 10
f(x+5) = x² + 10x + 25 + 3x + 15 - 10
f(x+5) = x² + 13x + 40 - 10
f(x+5) = x² + 13x + 30
x² + 13x + 30 = x² + kx + 30
hence, k = 13
Smallest zero = The smallest x value.
f(x+5) = x² + 13x + 30
Let's take f(x+5) = 0
x² + 13x + 30 = 0
which two numbers products give us 30 and add up to 13?
== 6 and 5
(x+6)(x+5) = 0
x+6 = 0
x = -6
x+5 = 0
x = -5
The two solutions are -6 and -5
The smallest out of these two is -6.
