Answer:
it will take 9 hours to empty the pool.
Step-by-step explanation:
The pool is shaped like a rectangular prism with length 30 feet, wide 18 ft, and depth 4ft. It means that when the pool is full, its volume is
30 × 18 × 4 = 2160 ft³
If water is pumped out of the pool at a rate of 216ft3 per hour, then the rate at which the water in the pool is decreasing is in arithmetic progression. The formula for determining the nth term of an arithmetic sequence is expressed as
Tn = a + d(n - 1)
Where
a represents the first term of the sequence(initial amount of water in the pool when completely full).
d represents the common difference(rate at which it is being pumped out)
n represents the number of terms(hours) in the sequence.
From the information given,
a = 2160 degrees
d = - 216 ft3
Tn = 0(the final volume would be zero)
We want to determine the number of terms(hours) for which Tn would be zero. Therefore,
0 = 2160 - 216 (n - 1)
2160 = 216(n - 1) = 216n + 216
216n = 2160 - 216
216n = 1944
n = 1944/216
n = 9
If the discriminant is a positive number, there will be 2 possible solutions. If you replace the entire section of b²-4ac with 16, you will see that the equation becomes; (-b+-√16)/2a --> leading to an answer with the + and another with the -.
If the discriminant is 0, there will be 1 possible solution, (again replace this into the discriminant value) (-b)/2a ---> this formula is used to also find the x coordinates of a vertex, fyi.
If the discriminant is a negative number, there will be no solution (since squareroot of a negative number is not possible)
Hope I helped :)
Answer:
a
Step-by-step explanation:
14 squared= 196
10 squared = 100
b is unknown
100+b^2=196
brainliest answer
C because the second quadrant is the top left of the graph so it has to be -x and positive y
