Answer:
x=
Step-by-step explanation:





/2 /2


x=
Total pressure is constant and PT = P = 1/2*ρ*v^2
So p1 + 1/2*ρ*v1^2 = p2 + 1/2*ρ*v2^2 and from continuity we have ρ*A1*v1 = ρ*A2*v2
So v2 = v1*A1/A2 since r2 = 2r1 then A2 = 4A1
so v2 = v1/4
Now from above p2 = p1 + 1/2*ρ*v1^2 - 1/2*ρ*v2^2 = p1 + 1/2*ρ*v1^2 - 1/2*ρ*v1^2/4^2
So p2 = 3.0x10^4Pa + 1/2*1000kg/m^3*(12m/s)^2 - 1/2*1000kg/m^3*12^2/16
= 9.75x10^4Pa = 9.8x10^4Pa
X²-9x=36
minus 36 both sides
x²-9x-36=0
what 2 numbers multiply to -36 and add to -9
-12 and 3
(x-12)(x+3)=0
set to zero
x-12=0
x=12
x+3=0
x=-3
the number is either -3 or 12
