Mimi uses a 7.5-gal bucket to fill a wading pool. She pours 12 buckets full of water into the pool, which can hold up to 138 gal

of water. She wants to solve for n, the number of additional full buckets of water she can pour into the pool.

Answer: 6 full buckets.

Step-by-step explanation:

138(pool)/7.5(a bucket)=18.4

18-12=6 full buckets.

Sean tossed a coin off a bridge into the stream below. The path of the coin can be represented by the equation 2 h tt = − 16t^2+

Answer:

It will take 5.61 seconds for the coin to reach the stream.

Step-by-step explanation:

The height of the coin, after t seconds, is given by the following equation:

$h(t) = -16t^{2} + 72t + 100$

How long will it take the coin to reach the stream?

The stream is the ground level.

So the coin reaches the stream when h(t) = 0.

$h(t) = -16t^{2} + 72t + 100$

$-16t^{2} + 72t + 100 = 0$

Multiplying by (-1)

$16t^{2} - 72t - 100 = 0$

Solving a quadratic equation:

Given a second order polynomial expressed by the following equation:

$ax^{2} + bx + c, a\neq0$ .

This polynomial has roots $x_{1}, x_{2}$ such that $ax^{2} + bx + c = a(x - x_{1})*(x - x_{2})$ , given by the following formulas:

$x_{1} = \frac{-b + \sqrt{\bigtriangleup}}{2*a}$

$x_{2} = \frac{-b - \sqrt{\bigtriangleup}}{2*a}$

$\bigtriangleup = b^{2} - 4ac$

In this question:

$16t^{2} - 72t - 100 = 0$

So

$a = 16, b = -72, c = -100$

$\bigtriangleup = (-72)^{2} - 4*16*(-100) = 11584$

$t_{1} = \frac{-(-72) + \sqrt{11584}}{2*16} = 5.61$

$t_{2} = \frac{-(-72) - \sqrt{11584}}{2*16} = -1.11$

Time is a positive measure, so we take the positive value.

It will take 5.61 seconds for the coin to reach the stream.
