Day = 24 hours, right?
36000/24 = 1500
If I put this into words:
36000 people per 24 hours = 1500 people per 1 hour
On average, 1500 people ride the bus per hour (or each hour)
Similarities: They both are polynomials of degree 2, both of their graphs is a parabola, both have either 2 or 0 real solutions, they are both continuous functions over R
(DOS= difference of two squares, PST=perfect square trinomial
Differences: PST has three terms, whereas the difference of squares has 2. PST's factors are both the same, whereas DOS's elements are conjugates of each other. DOS can always be factored into two distinct polynomials with rational coefficients, whereas PST has two same polynomial factors.
First solve for the trig function 'cot'

Next take the sqrt of both sides (include plus/minus)

Now take reciprocal of both sides, this will change trig function to 'tan'
(cot = 1/tan)

Finally use the unit circle or inverse tan on your calculator to find x.
There will be 4 solutions, one for each quadrant.
Answer:The approximate square root is 2.23
Step-by-step explanation:√ 5 = 2.23
Thus: 2.23 x 2.23 = 5
The base is the greatest surface area
