For this case, the first thing we want to do is substitute the value of y = 15 in the equation.
We have then:
15 = -0.08x ^ 2 + 1.6x + 10
Rewriting we have:
0 = -0.08x ^ 2 + 1.6x + 10 - 15
0 = -0.08x ^ 2 + 1.6x - 5
The solutions are:
x1 = 3.876275643042054
x2 = 16.123724356957947
Nearest whole number:
x1 = 4
x2 = 16
were about 15 tons of trout caught in the lake in the years:
1995 + 4 = 1999
1995 + 16 = 2011
Answer:
The year 1999 and the year 2011
To evaluate when plugging in numerical values for variables, simply put the numerical values in the place of the corresponding variables:

Answer: Ethan will have to spend 2 hours reading if 14 pages are left to read
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the equation
P=-30h+74
where p =number of pages left to read and
h= the number of hours he has spent reading
Therefore , if Ethan has 14 pages left to read, then the number of hours Ethan will have to read will be
P=-30h+74
14= -30h + 74
30h= 74-14
30h= 60
h = 60/30
h =2 hours
Ethan will have to spend 2 hours reading if 14 pages are left to read
Answer:
35/4, or 8 3/4 as a mixed number
Step-by-step explanation:
First, change 58 1/3 into an improper fraction by multiplying the whole number and denominator, then adding the numerator. 58 x 3 equals 174, + 1 equals 175. So, 58 1/3 as an improper fraction is 175/3. Next, change 6 2/3 into an improper fraction. 6 times 3 equals 18, plus 2 equals 20. So, it's 20/3. So, here are your two fractions:
175/3 & 20/3
To divide fractions, I like to use a method called Keep Change Flip. Basically, you keep the first fractions the same, then change the sign. The division sign changes into a multiplication symbol. Now, your equation should look like this: 175/3 x 20/3. Next, flip the fraction from 20/3 into 3/20. This is what your equation should look like now: 175/3 x 3/20. Now you can multiply the fractions together. Before you do so, you can cross reduce to make it easier. What is a number that both 3 and 3 can be divided by? The correct answer is 3. 3/3= 1, so the equation is now 175/1 x 1/20. However, you can continue to cross reduce. You can also divide 175 and 20 by 5, so the equation changes into this: 35/1 x 1/20. Multiply numerator by numerator, denominator by denominator. So, the answer is 35/4, or 8 3/4 as a mixed number. Hope this helped!
