Hello!</h2>
The answers are:
a) 
b) 
<h2>Why?</h2>
First, we need to know that for this case:

So,


We must add
to the expression in order to form a perfect square trinomial,

Writing the trinomial as a binomial square:

Have a nice day!
This is a system of equations. The first equation represents the tank being emptied and the second equation represents the tank being filled:
k = -10t + 528
k = 14t
To solve this system of equations, we will use substitution. The second equation says that k is equal to 14t, so we can substitute 14t for k in the first equation.
14t = -10t + 528
24t = 528
t = 22
Now that we have t, we can use it to find k by plugging it in to the second equation:
k = 14(22)
k = 308
So, it will take 22 minutes for both tanks to hold equal amounts of water. They will each hold 308 kiloliters.
Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer:
Choice B.
Discussion:
From the first step
324 x^6 y^ 8 =
2^2 * 3^4 * x^2 * x^4* y^8
so the fourth root of this is
2 ^(2/4)* 3^(4/4) x^(2/4)* x^(4/4)*y^(8/4) =
2^ (1/2) * 3^1 * x^(1/2) * x^(1)* y^ (2) =
(2x)^(1/2) * 3 * x * y^2 =
3 * x * y^2 * sqrt(2x) =
3 * x * y^2 * ( (2x)^2) ^ (1/4)) =
3 * x * y^2 * (4x^2) ^ (1/4)
which is choice B
Thank you,
