Answer:
3
Step-by-step explanation:
3 is not a factor of 16.
Is that a valid answer? lol
Two ways:
1) guess factors(trial and error)
2) use quadratic formula.
If you use this method then a = -3, b = -6 and c = -1
x = -b +/- [sqrt(b^2 -4ac)/2a]
substituting a, b, and c into our equation we get:
x = - (-6)+/- [sqrt ((-6)^2) - 4(-3)(-1))/2 (-3)]
x = + 6 +/- [sqrt (36 -4 (3)/-6)] if I didnt make a mistake in my signs
x = + 6 +/- [sqrt (36 -12)/-6)]
x = 6 +/- [sqrt (24)/-6] but sqrt 6 x sqrt of 4 = sqrt 24 hence
x = 6 +/- [ sqrt 6 x sqrt 4 /-6] that is:
x = 6 +/- [sqrt 6 x 2 /-6 ]
so x = 6 + [sqrt 6 x 2/-6] and x = 6 - [sqrt 6 x 2/-6]
Answer:
Part a) 
Part b) 
Step-by-step explanation:
Part a) How many gallons of water will be in the pool after 20 minutes?
we know that
Using proportion

Part b) How many gallons of water will be in the pool after 1 hour
we know that
1 hour = 60 minutes
Using proportion

The original volume of the shape was 250. You come up with this by multiplying all sides together. So, 5x5x10=250.
We do the same for the new shape, which now has a 7 in place of the 5. So 7x7x10=490.
Lastly, we subtract the volume of the new shape from the volume of the old shape to see the difference. So, 490-250=240.
So the answer to this is 240.
Points:
Quadrant I: (+, +)
Quadrant II: (-, +)
Quadrant III: (-, -)
Quadrant IV: (+, -)
Thus the point (5,4) is found in Quadrant I.
