7.675 inches of rain was the total amount in the two weeks
x = -6 is the equation for this question.
I can't answer this question if we don't know by what scale the cylinder's radius was reduced. Luckily, I found the same problem that says the radius was reduced to 2/5. So, we find the ratio of both volumes.
V₁ = πr₁²h₁
V₂ = πr₂²h₂
where r₂ = 2/5*r₁ and h₂ = 4h₁
V₂/V₁ = π(2/5*r₁ )²(4h₁)/πr₁²h₁= 8/5 or 1.6
<em>Thus, the volume has increased more by 60%.</em>
Answer:
x = -7 ±3i
Step-by-step explanation:
(x+7)^2+9=0
Subtract 9 from each side
(x+7)^2+9-9=0-9
(x+7)^2=-9
Take the square root of each side
sqrt((x+7)^2) = ±sqrt(-9)
We know sqrt(ab) = sqrt(a) sqrt(b)
x+7 = ±sqrt(-1) sqrt(9)
We know that sqrt(-1) is the imaginary number i
x+7 = ±i *3
x+7 =±3i
Subtract 7 from each side
x+7-7 = -7 ±3i
x = -7 ±3i
If you have 8 yellow balloons for every 12 blue balloons, then if you have 20 balloons in total, 8 out of 20 of those balloons will be yellow. Then you can set up this ratio.
Then, you can use either cross multiplication or multiply the numerator and denominator by the same number to help solve for x. Personally, I prefer cross multiplication.
Finally, solve for x and if you had 100 balloons, you will have 40 yellow balloons.
