Answer:

Since x is an integer we conclude that there are 10 trucks needed to carry away 45 tones of debris.

Step-by-step explanation:

First we will find the volume of the dump truck:

V = 10*15*6.5

V = 975 ft^3

1 ton = 200 ft^3

45 tons = 45*200 ft^3

45 tons = 9,000 ft^3

Let x represent the number of trucks needed to carry away 45 tones of debris:

975*x = 9000

Answer:

10

Step-by-step explanation:

Each trailer of each truck can cart away (10)(15)(6.5) = 975 cubic feet of debris.

To cart 45 tons of debris i.e. 200 x 45 = 9000 cubic feet of debris away, we need

9000/975 = 9.23 trucks.

Since you need at least 9.23 trucks, and you cannot have a decimal number of trucks, 10 trucks are needed to cart away 45 tons of debris from a demolition site.

earnstyle [38]

Answer:

On a coordinate plane, a triangle has points (negative 4, 3), (negative 4, negative 2), (1, negative 2).

Step-by-step explanation:

The points (-4,3), (1,2) and (-4, -2) would form a right triangle when graphed and connected by lines.

(-4,3), (1,2) and (1,3) would also work as well

Can someone complete the square
pshichka [43]
To do these, start by looking at the "b" value -6.
divide it by 2

-6/2 = -3

now square this number

(-3)^2 = 9

this is what you need for the "c" value

there is only a 5 for the c value so add 4 to both sides of the equation. ( +4 = +4)

y +4 = x^2 -6x +5 +4
y +4 = x^2 -6x +9
y +4 = (x -3)^2
y = (x -3)^2 - 4

vertex ( 3, -4) upwards facing like a bowl, because the "a" value is positive. So the vertex is the minimum, lowest point on the graph.
