14 plants divided by 4 gallons equals 3.5 plants per every 1 gallon. 35 divided by 3.5 equals 10 gallons.
Answer: -4 1/2 , -1/2 , 1/4 , 2/3 , 2 1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
First, factor out a 3.
3(x² - 9)
In any quadratic ax² + bx + c, we can split the bx term up into two new terms which we want to equal the product of a and c.
In this case, we have x² + 0x - 9. (the 0x is a placeholder)
We want two numbers that add to 0 and multiply to get -9.
Obviously, these numbers are 3 and -3.
Now we have 3(x² + 3x - 3x - 9).
Let's factor.
3(x(x+3)-3(x+3))
<u>3(x-3)(x+3)</u>
There are multiple shortcuts which you could make here, FYI:
Instead of splitting the middle, if your a value is 1, you can go straight to that step (x+number)(x+other number).
Whenever you have a difference of squares, like a²-b², that factors to (a+b)(a-b).
You would need to add 360L of the 20% ethanol solution.
B is the only one that makes sense if you break them each down. An Acute doesnt have every Pair of angles congruent, the don't have to have proportional side lengths, and it can't have a right angle or it would be a right triangle.
