Answer:

During the first hour, the water change was <em><u>2 feet (or 14 feet)</u></em>

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the level of water in a water tank was 16 feet, and that by 8 hours, it was <em>empty</em>. To find the <u>change</u> in the water level per hour, we need to <u>divide</u> 16 by 8.

16 ÷ 8 = 2

Therefore, during the first hour, the water change was <em><u>2 feet (or 14 feet)</u></em>

Hope this helps! :D

Inequality to x2 &lt; 64
Anarel [89]
              NOT MY WORDS TAKEN FROM A SOURCE!

(x^2) <64  => (x^2) -64 < 64-64 => (x^2) - 64 < 0 64= 8^2    so    (x^2) - (8^2) < 0  To solve the inequality we first find the roots (values of x that make (x^2) - (8^2) = 0 ) Note that if we can express (x^2) - (y^2) as (x-y)* (x+y)  You can work backwards and verify this is true. so let's set (x^2) - (8^2)  equal to zero to find the roots: (x^2) - (8^2) = 0   => (x-8)*(x+8) = 0       if x-8 = 0 => x=8      and if x+8 = 0 => x=-8 So x= +/-8 are the roots of x^2) - (8^2)Now you need to pick any x values less than -8 (the smaller root) , one x value between -8 and +8 (the two roots), and one x value greater than 8 (the greater root) and see if the sign is positive or negative. 1) Let's pick -10 (which is smaller than -8). If x=-10, then (x^2) - (8^2) = 100-64 = 36>0  so it is positive
2) Let's pick 0 (which is greater than -8, larger than 8). If x=0, then (x^2) - (8^2) = 0-64 = -64 <0  so it is negative3) Let's pick +10 (which is greater than 10). If x=-10, then (x^2) - (8^2) = 100-64 = 36>0  so it is positive Since we are interested in (x^2) - 64 < 0, then x should be between -8 and positive 8. So  -8<x<8 Note: If you choose any number outside this range for x, and square it it will be greater than 64 and so it is not valid.

Hope this helped!
