2x^2 - 8x - 24

First, we can factor a 2 out of this expression to simplify it.

2(x^2 - 4x - 12)

Now, we can try factoring this two ways: by using the quadratic formula, or by using the AC method.

We're gonna try using the AC method first.

List factors of -12.

1 * -12

-1 * 12

2 * -6

-2 * 6 (these digits satisfy the criteria.)

Split the middle term.

2(x^2 - 2x + 6x - 12)

Factor by grouping.

2(x(x - 2) + 6(x - 2)

Rearrange terms.

<h3><u>(2)(x + 6)(x - 2) is the fully factored form of the given polynomial.</u></h3>

Answer:

8 ± √5

Step-by-step explanation:

2x² - 8x - 24 = 0

Here Discriminant(D) = b² - 4ac > 0.

Here a is the coefficient of x²

b is the coefficient of x

c is the constant term

Thus, it has Real roots.

Now, using the Sridharayacharya Formula,

\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{(b^2-4ac}}{4a}

Putting the values:

\frac{8\pm\sqrt{(64 - 4\times 2\times -24 }}{4\times2}

\frac{8\pm\sqrt{280 }}{8}

⇒8 ± √5

Each cone of the hourglass has a height of 12 millimeters. The total height of the sand within the top portion of the hourglass
Harman [31]

The solution would be like this for this specific problem:

Volume of a cylinder = pi * r^2 * h 

Volume of a cone = 1/3 * pi * r^2 * h 

Total Height = 47

Height of the cone = 12

Height of the cylinder = 35

If the top half is filled with sand, then:

volume (sand) = pi * 4^2 * 36

volume (cone) =  1/3 * pi * 4^2 * 12

Total volume = 1960.353816 cubic millimeters

353816 / (10 * pi) = 62.4 seconds.

It will take 62.4 seconds until all of the sand has dripped to the bottom of the hourglass.

skad [1K]

Answer:

RT-ST=QS-ST, because subtracting the same quantity from two lines that have been stated to be equal.

Therefore RS=TQ

Angle R=Angle Q, because it is an isosceles triangle

Triangle AR

S is congruent to ATQ.

AT=AS

Because TAS is isosceles, angles 5 and 6 are equal.

Therefore, angles 4 and 7 are equal, because they are supplementary angles of the same angle.

And angles 1 and 3 are equal, because the other two angles in the triangle are equal.

The triangles RAT and QAS are congruent with SAS.
