Answer:

4.3 to 1 decimal place.

Step-by-step explanation:

x^3 - 5x - 59 = 0

Try x = 4.1:

f(4.1) = (4.1)^3 - 5(4.1) - 59 = -10.579

Try: 4.2:

f(4.2) = 4.2^3 - 5(4.2) - 59 = -5.912,  Try x = 4.3:

f(4.3) = -0.993 (getting closer to 0!!)

f(4.4) = 4.184

NOTICE - there is a change of sign in the result so the root lies between 4.3 and 4.4.

Try x = 4.35:

f(4.35) = 1.563  so it looks like the root is closer to 4.3 than 4.4 because 1.563 is closer to zero than 4.184.

Just to double check let's calculate x = 4.32:

f(4.32) = 0.0216 - which is very close to zero.

So the answer is 4.3 to 1 decimal  place.

(I've checked it out on my calculator - the root is 4.31958).

erica [24]

Answer:

D : 510 units

Step-by-step explanation:

NOTE:

Something to consider when solving problems like this is to break the large shape down into smaller, more managable shapes. So for this problem, you can break down this irregular shape into two rectangles. This will make solving problems similar to this easier in the future :)

WORK:

I broke down this shape into two rectangles with the following dimensions:

- 12 meters by 5 meters

- 3 meters by 14 meters

You also know that the depth has to be 5 feet (the problem itself did not account for differences in feet and meters, as when I converted the 5 feet to meters and solved that way, none of the answers were correct)

Using this information, you can now solve for the volume of each of the rectangles

12*5*5 = 300 units

3*14*5 = 210 units

Then, you simply add the two volumes together to find the total volume needed to fill the pool which equals

510 units
