Suppose a tank leaks toxic chemicals. The area affected is a circle centered on the tank. When the spill is first noticed, the c

ircle has a radius of 60 meters. A response team arrives 70 minutes later, by which time the affected area has grown to a circle with a radius of 80 meters.

Answer:

0.5 ft per min

Step-by-step explanation:

in 80 minutes the radius expanded by 40%

we can set up a proportion of percent change over minutes:

.4/80 = r/1

cross-multiply to get:

80r = .4

r = .005 or 1/2 of a foot per minute.

Hope It Helps :)

What are the possible values of x in 8x^2+4x=-1
Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

x1=-0.25(+)(0.25i)

x2=-0.25(-)(0.25i)

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

8x^{2}+4x=-1

Factor the leading coefficient

8(x^{2}+0.5x)=-1

Complete the square. Remember to balance the equation by adding the same constants to each side.

8(x^{2}+0.5x+1/16)=-1+1/2

8(x^{2}+0.5x+1/16)=-1/2

(x^{2}+0.5x+1/16)=-1/16

Rewrite as perfect squares

(x+0.25)^{2}=-1/16

remember that

i=\sqrt{-1}

(x+0.25)=(+/-)(0.25i)

x=-0.25(+/-)(0.25i)

x1=-0.25(+)(0.25i)

x2=-0.25(-)(0.25i)
