Answer: 28 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: During the winter months, freshwater fish sense the water getting colder and swim to the bottom of lakes and rivers to find warmer water.

The total depth of the lake = 32 feet

Since, fish swims 7/8 of the depth, then the depth of lake to which the fish swim= $\frac{7}{8}\times32\ feet$

Since, $32\div8=4$

therefore, $\frac{7}{8}\times32=7\times4=28$

Hence, the fish swim 28 feet in lake.

Answer:

Part A: [0,2], Part B: [2, 4], Part C: [8,10], Part D: 0 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A: The time between 0 seconds to 2 seconds is the time when it's increasing. There is no other time like that.

Part B: The graph shows a straight line so therefore it is staying the same.

Part C: The graph shows a sharp decline.

Part D: Starting from the 10th second, the balloon already hit to ground so it would only make sense for it to stay there...

A rancher wishes to build a fence to enclose a rectangular pen having area 24 square yards. Along one side the fence is to be ma

Gnoma [55]

Answer:

The value is $C \approx \$76$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The area of the rectangular pen is $A = 24 \ yard^2$

The cost of material used to make one side is $z = \$ 6$

The cost of material used to make the other sides is $r = \$ 3$

Now , the fence to be build around the rectangular pen has four sides, the first opposite sides are equal, let assume each of the to be x yard and the other opposite sides are also equal as well let assume of the to be y yard

So the cost is mathematically represented as

$C = zx + r (x + 2y )$

=> $C = 6x + 3(x + 2y)$

=> $C = 9x + 6y$

Now the area of the fence is mathematically represented as

$A = x* y = 24$

=> $y = \frac{24}{x}$

=> $C = 9x + 6[\frac{24}{x} ]$

=> $C = 9x + [\frac{144}{x} ]$

Now differentiating

$C' = 9 + 144* (-2) x^{-2}$

$C' = 9 - 288x^{-2}$

At minimum $C' = 0$

So

$9 - 288x^{-2} = 0$

$x^{-2} = 0.03125$

$x = \sqrt{\frac{1}{0.03125} }$

$x = 5.66$

Now substituting for x in the equation above to obtain minimum cost

$C = 9(5.66) + [\frac{144}{5.66} ]$

$C \approx \$76$

Which is the completely factored form of 3x^2-12x-15

Luba_88 [7]

Find the GCF (Greatest Common Factor)

GCF = 3

Factor out the GCF ( Write the GCF first. Then, in parentheses, divide each term by the GCF)

3(3x^2/3 + -12x/3 - 15/3)

Simplify each term in parentheses

3(x^2 - 4x - 5)

Factor x^2 - 4x - 5

<u>3(x - 5)(x + 1)</u>

How can 2/3 + 3/12 be rewritten so they can be added?

Drupady [299]

well, you can multiply the values to where they are equivalent, so multiply 2/3 by 4 ( both numbers ) so you get 8/12 and 3/12, so, just in case you want POST added, the answer to 2/3 ( 8/12 ) + 3/12 = is 11/12!

Hope this helps, if not, comment below please!!!
