The two containers hold 328 ounces at the they hold same amount of water.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

The equations below model the ounces of  water, y, in each container after x minutes.

y = 16x + 104

y = -2x^{2} +40x+160

At the time after the start when the containers hold  the same amount of water, the two equations must be equal.

⇒ 16 x + 104 = -2x^{2}  + 40 x + 160

The first step is to divide everything by 2 to make it simplified.

⇒ 8 x + 52 = - x^2 +20 x + 80

Now put everything on the left .

x^2 + 8 x - 20 x + 52 - 80 = 0

Add the like terms together to further reduce the equation

x^2 - 12 x - 28 = 0

Factorizing the equation to find the roots of the equation.

Here, b = -12 and c = -28

where,

  • b is the sum of the roots ⇒ -14 + 2 = -12
  • c is the product of the roots ⇒ -14 × 2 = -28
  • Therefore, (x-14) (x+2) = 0
  • The solution is x = -2 or x = 14

Take x = 14  and substitute in any of the given two equations,

⇒ y = 16(14) + 104

⇒ y =224+104

⇒ 328 ounces

∴ The two containers hold 328 ounces at the they hold same amount of water.

mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

" > "

Step-by-step explanation:

-4/5=4x9 5×9

-4/5 = - 36/ 45

-8/9=8×5 9×5

-8/9 =-40/45

-36/ 45 > -40/45

-4/5 > -8/9

in this case - 4/5 is closer to 0

why do whole numbers raised to an exponent get greater while fractions raised to an exponent get smaller?
ehidna [41]
Any number above 1 gets greater, below 1 smaller (when above 0), while 1 itself remains the same. Negative numbers are more unpredictable.

How tall would one million pennies be in centimeters.And how do you know
Vikki [24]
One US-penny is 19 mm in diameter.

One British-penny is 20.3 in diameter.

We can make an accurate measurement of the diameters, or research on the internet.


1 milion US_pennies are

1,000,000*19 mm = 19,000,000 mm = 1,900,000 cm tall, since 1cm=10mm


1 milion British_pennies are 

1,000,000*20.3 mm = 20,300,000 mm = 2,030,000 cm tall, since 1cm=10mm
