It takes 3 identical water pumps 8 hours to fill a pool. How long would it take 4 of

Mathematics

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We have 3 identical pumps working to fill a pool. If it takes them working  together 8 hours to fill the pool, the equation is:

\frac{1}{x}+\frac{1}{x}+\frac{1}{x}=\frac{1}{8} and

\frac{3}{x}=\frac{1}{8} . Cross multiply to get

x = 24, which is the number of hours it will take one pump to do the job all alone. If this be the case, and we have 4 pumps WORKING AT THE SAME TIME, filling the pool will be <u>the number of hours it takes one pump</u> divided by <u>4</u>.

4 pumps can do the job in 6 hours.

We want to find the zeros of this polynomial:
fredd [130]

Answer:

x = -3 and x = -3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

After writing down the polynomial, split it; put a line between 3x^2 and -18x. Look and 2x^3 + 3x^2 and -18x - 27 separately and factor them both:

p(x) = 2x^3 + 3x^2 <u>- 18x -27</u>

p(x) = x^2(2x+3) <u>-9(2x+3)</u>

Now notice how x^2 and -9 have the same factor (2x+3). That means x^2 and -9 can go together:

p(x) = (x^2 - 9)(2x+3)

Factor it once more because there's a difference of squares:

p(x) = (x+3)(x-3)(2x+3)

Now just plug in whatever makes the each bracket equal 0:

x = -3, x = 3, and x = -3/2

Those are your zeros.

Sarah is making flower bouquets that she will put in 10 vases. She will put 15 roses and some lilies in each vase.
AnnyKZ [126]
A is correct because the f represents the lilies and then you add the 15 because that is how much roses there are going to be. Lastly just multiply the ten that will give you the answer
