Answer:

A = 1/2 B H       area = 1/2 base X height

B = 2 A / H = 2 * 99 / 12 = 16.5 cm

dA / d t = 1/2 * (B dH / dt + H dB / dt)

dB / dt = (2 dA / dt - B dH / dt) / H

dB / dt = (2 * 1.5 cm^2 / min - 16.5 cm * 2 cm / min) / 12 cm

dB / dt = (3 - 33) / 12 cm/min = -2.5 cm/min

What is the factored form of y=x^3+3x^2-x-3 and what the zeros
PSYCHO15rus [73]
   y = x³ + 3x² - x - 3
   0 = x³ + 3x² - x - 3
   0 = x²(x) + x²(3) - 1(x) - 1(3)
   0 = x²(x + 3) - 1(x + 3)
   0 = (x² - 1)(x + 3)
   0 = (x² + x - x - 1)(x + 3)
   0 = (x(x) + x(1) - 1(x) - 1(1))(x + 3)
   0 = (x(x + 1) - 1(x + 1))(x + 3)
   0 = (x - 1)(x + 1)(x + 3)
   0 = x - 1    or    0 = x + 1    or    0 = x + 3
+ 1      + 1         - 1        - 1         - 3        - 3
   1 = x      or      -1 = x       or      -3 = x
