 Assuming the life sized dolphin is 12 ft long, what we want to know is what factor do you multiply 12 ft by to get 3.5 inches so converting this to an equation gives: 12*f=3.5 solving for f gives f=3.5/12=.29166...The units on the factor are inches/foot.

        So to get the size if anything linear in the small scale you just multiply it's dimension in the full scale by f.

What is the answer to -6n^2 - 5n - 7 = -8
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

n = \frac{1}{3} , n = \frac{1}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

6n² - 5n - 7 = - 8 ( add 8 to both sides )

6n² - 5n + 1 = 0 ← in standard form

Consider the product of the factors of the coefficient of the n² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the n- term

product = 6 × 1 = 6 and sum = - 5

The factors are - 3 and - 2

Use these factors to split the n- term

6n² - 3n - 2n + 1 = 0 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )

3n(2n - 1) - 1(2n - 1) = 0 ← factor out (2n - 1) from each term

(2n - 1)(3n - 1) = 0 ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for n

3n - 1 = 0 ⇒ 3n = 1 ⇒ n = \frac{1}{3}

2n - 1 = 0 ⇒ 2n = 1 ⇒ n = \frac{1}{2}
