For this case we have a quadratic equation,
, of the form 
Where:

We can solve the equation by factoring, that is, we bias two numbers that multiplied give as a result -60 and added as a result 28.
These numbers are:

Then, the factorization is given by:

The roots are:

Answer:

Answer:
Part a) 119 cups
Part b) 30 cups
Step-by-step explanation:
Part a)
step 1
Find the volume of the conical cup with a diameter of 4 in. and a height of 8 in
The volume of the cone (cup) is equal to

we have
----> the radius is half the diameter

assume

substitute

step 2
Find out how many cups of water must Carissa scoop out of the sink
Divide the volume of the sink by the volume of the cup
so

Part b)
step 1
Find the volume of the conical cup with a diameter of 8 in. and a height of 8 in
The volume of the cone (cup) is equal to

we have
----> the radius is half the diameter

assume

substitute

step 2
Find out how many cups of water must Carissa scoop out of the sink
Divide the volume of the sink by the volume of the cup
so
