What is a solution to (x + 6)(x + 2) = 60?

Reika [66]

Solution of the equation $(x+6)(x+2)=60$ is x=4 and x=-12

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to solve the equation: $(x+6)(x+2)=60$

Solving:

$(x+6)(x+2)=60$

Multiplying terms on the left hand side

$x(x+2)+6(x+2)=60$

$x^2+2x+6x+12=60$

$x^2+8x+12=60$

$x^2+8x+12-60=0$

$x^2+8x-48=0$

Now factorizing:

$x^2+12x-4x-48=0$

$x(x+12)-4(x+12)=0$

$(x-4)(x+12)=0$

$(x-4)=0\,\,and\,\,(x+12)=0$

$x=4\,\,and\,\,x=-12$

So, solution of the equation $(x+6)(x+2)=60$ is x=4 and x=-12

Comparing Leaking Pool Problem

Blababa [14]

Answer:

<em>Pool 1 leaks faster than pool 2.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Rates of change</u>

The rate of change (ROC) is a measure that compares two quantities, usually to know how fast one variable changes in time.

We are given two rates of change for two pools that are leaking. The first one loses 2/3 gallon in 15 minutes, and the other loses 3/4 gallon in 20 minutes.

To compare them, we are required to express time in hours. Recall one hour has 60 minutes, or equivalently, one minute has 1/60 hours. Converting both times, we have:

15 minutes = 15/60 = 1/4 hours

20 minutes = 20/60 = 1/3 hours

Now compute both rates of change:

Pool 1:

$\displaystyle ROC_1=\frac{2/3}{1/4}=\frac{8}{3}\approx 2.67\ gal/h$

Pool 2:

$\displaystyle ROC_2=\frac{3/4}{1/3}=\frac{9}{4}= 2.25\ gal/h$

Comparing both ratios, it's clear pool 1 leaks faster than pool 2.

What is the volume of a cylinder with the base radius of 10 units and a height of nine units?

Otrada [13]

Answer:

$V = 2827.43\ units^3$ or $V = 900\pi\ units^3$

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a cylinder is calculated by the following formula

$V = \pi r^2 *h$

Where r is the radius of the cylinder and h is the height

In this case we know that the radius r of the base is:

$r=10\ units$

and

$h=9\ units$

So the Volume is:

$V = \pi (10)^2 *9$

$V = 900\pi\ units^3$

$V = 2827.43\ units^3$
