Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
(x - 5)(x + 3)
Step-by-step explanation:
to solve x² - 2x = 15, we need to get all the terms on one side so we can solve the quadratic equation using factoring. to do this, we subtract 15 from both sides
x² - 2x = 15
- 15 -15
x² - 2x - 15 = 0
now we can factor. we need 2 numbers that when multiplied together give us -15, and when those 2 numbers are added together we get -2
because we have a -15, we can assume that one number must be negative and the other positive, as a negative times a postive is a negative.
we can use 3 and -5 as factors and test it out. we put x in front because we have an x²
(x - 5)(x + 3) < we can FOIL to check to see if this is correct. its not mandatory to check but when you arent sure of the answer you can FOIL it out
FOIL stands for: First, Outside, Inside, and Last terms
F: (x - 5)(x + 3) = x²
O: (x - 5)(x + 3) = -3x
I: (x - 5)(x + 3) = 5x
L: (x - 5)(x + 3) = -15
x² + 3x - 5x - 15 < subtract 3x from 5x
x² - 2x - 15
this checks out, so our answer is (x - 5)(x + 3)
Answer:
#3.) The initial value of 16 gal at x = 5 minutes means that 16 gallons of water was present 5 minutes after the barrel started leaking.
#4.) Find how many minutes until the barrel is empty of water.
Let y = 0, to solve for time x.
0 = (-2/5)*x + 18
(2/5)*x = 18
x = (5/2)* 18 = 5*9 = 45 minutes
Up to and after 45 minutes, the barrel is empty of water.
Step-by-step explanation:
#2.)
minutes: 5, 10, 15, 20
water(gal): 16, 14, 12, 10
Find slope: slope m = (14 - 16)/(10 - 5) = -2/5
y - 10 = (-2/5)*(x - 20)
y - 10 = (-2/5)* x + 8
y = (-2/5)*x + 18
rate of change slope means that for every minute 2/5 gallons of water is lost
#3.) The initial value of 16 gal at x = 5 minutes means that 16 gallons of water was present 5 minutes after the barrel started leaking.
#4.) Find how many minutes until the barrel is empty of water.
Let y = 0, to solve for time x.
0 = (-2/5)*x + 18
(2/5)*x = 18
x = (5/2)* 18 = 5*9 = 45 minutes
