Answer:

b = 0 OR b = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

To start off with, we know that this must be a quadratic equation because there's a "^2".

Firstly, we have to bring everything over to one side of the equation. This means we have to add 3b to both sides, as we want the right-hand side to be 0.

b^2 = -3b

+3b   +3b

b^2 + 3b = 0

Secondly, we have to factorise. We need to see what number goes into both "b^2" AND "3b".

That is "b".

b^2 + 3b = 0

factor out b

b(b + 3) = 0

Thirdly, we have to use the Null Factor Law to find out what b equals. The Null  Factor Law states that if an equation equals 0, then one of the terms must either be 0, or the negative of the other number.

Hence, there are two answers.

b = 0

OR

b = -3

Answer:

2cm of Rainfall

Step-by-step explanation:

When the no. of mosquitoes is the highest the slope of graph will be zero

so if we differentiate this function and equate to zero we can find the rainfall amount that gives maximum number of mosquitoes in centimetres.

m(x)= -x²+4x

differentiate

d(x)/d(m(x))= -2x+4

equate to zero

-2x+4=0

2x=4

x=2

answer: 2 cm of rain

Val has a piece of wood 8 ft long. She is going to cut it into 9 equal-length pieces.
Semenov [28]
Each piece will be 1/9 of the total length of the original board.

1/9 of 8 ft is <em>8/9 foot</em>.

That's the same as <em>(10 and 2/3) inches</em>.

Since there is no x it’s simply moving down 4. There is no movement left or right (x) just simply down for -4.

Given this proportion, what ratio completes the equivilent proportion a/8?
Paladinen [302]
To solve this problem you must follow the steps below:

 You have a/b=8/15, Then:

 1. You must divide in both side of the given proportion by 8:

 a/bx8=8/15x8

 2. When you simplify, you obtain:

 a/8b=1/15

 3. Now, you must multiply both sides by "b", as below:

 axb/8b=1xb/15

 4. Finally, when you simplify, you have:

 a/8=b/15
