Answer:

First, you would have to convert fl oz to gallons: 1 fl oz = 0.0078125 gal. Therefore, 4 fl oz = 0.03125 gal.

Then, you would have to convert minutes to hours: 1 minute = 0.01666 hours, or 60 minutes = 1 hour.

From here, you can divide 0.03125 gal by 0.01666 hours OR multiply 0.03125 gal by 60 minutes, giving a rate of 1.87 gallons per hour.

Solve using the quadratic formula 3x^2+11x+5=0

storchak [24]

Answer:

$3x^2 + 11x + 5 = 0 : x = \frac{-11 + \sqrt{61} }{6} , x = \frac{-11 - \sqrt{61} }{6}$

Decimal:

$(x = -0.53162..., x = -3.13504...)$

Step-by-step explanation:

$3x^2+11x+5=0$

Solve with the quadratic formula:

For a quadratic equation of the form $ax^2+bx+c=0$ the solutions are:

$x_{1,\:2}=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

For $a=3,\:b=11,\:c=5:\quad x_{1,\:2}=\frac{-11\pm \sqrt{11^2-4\cdot \:3\cdot \:5}}{2\cdot \:3}$

$x=\frac{-11 + \sqrt{11^2-4\cdot \:3\cdot \:5}}{2\cdot \:3} : \frac{-11 + \sqrt{61} }{6}$

$x=\frac{-11 - \sqrt{11^2-4\cdot \:3\cdot \:5}}{2\cdot \:3} : \frac{-11 - \sqrt{61} }{6}$

The solutions to the quadratic equation are:

$x=\frac{-11+\sqrt{61}}{6},\:x=\frac{-11-\sqrt{61}}{6}$

Hope I helped. If so, may I get brainliest and a thanks?

Thank you, have a good day! =)
