The correct answer is d) The maximum number of footballs the team can purchase is 44.
this is true because if we plug 44 into the equation it is the only value that is can fit into the equation without it becoming false.
975 + 34(44) ≤ 2500
2471 ≤ 2500
To better give a visual, I drew it out instead.
The attachment is the solution.
Linear scale factor =1/2
volume scale factor=(1/2)³=1/8
the volume of the larger figure will be:
volume=length*width*height
volume=16×15×6
volume=1440 cubic inches
thus volume of the small sink will be:
1/8×1440
=180 cubic inches
The way to find the factores is by seeking the polonomial's roots, or zeros!
To find the roots, we set the polinomial equation to zero:
x^2+16y^2=0
Then we solve this equation:
x^2=-16y^2
This is only true, if x=y=0.
