This is an interesting question. I chose to tackle it using the Law of Cosines.
AC² = AB² + BC² - 2·AB·BC·cos(B)
AM² = AB² + MB² - 2·AB·MB·cos(B)
Subtracting twice the second equation from the first, we have
AC² - 2·AM² = -AB² + BC² - 2·MB²
We know that MB = BC/2. When we substitute the given information, we have
8² - 2·3² = -4² + BC² - BC²/2
124 = BC² . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . add 16, multiply by 2
2√31 = BC ≈ 11.1355
Answer:
The second tank.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since both filling up at the same rate, all you would have to do is multiply the gallons.
4/5 multiplying top and bottom by 8 is 32/40
7/8 multiplying top and bottom by 5 is 35/40
Answer:
The quotient is 
Step-by-step explanation:
The given polynomial division is 
To perform the synthetic division we write out the coefficients and arrange them as shown.
1 -4 4 -1
<u>1 | 1 -3 1</u>
1 -3 1 0
The quotient is 
The descending powers of x means from highest degree to the least
The remainder is 0
