Answer:

30 yards of string will remain unused

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok, there are a lot of conversions going on here.

1 yard = 3 feet,

so 50 yards • 3ft per yard = 150 feet of string on the spool

1 foot = 12 inches,

so 150 feet • 12in per foot = 1800 inches of string on the spool

There are 24 students and they each get 30 inches, multiply 24 • 30 to see how much string is used:

24 • 30 = 720 inches of string used

Find how many <u>inches</u> of string is left by subtracting what is used from the original amount:

1800 - 720 = 1080 inches of spool left

To make this faster, instead of dividing by 12 inches per foot and then dividing by 3 feet per yard, I'm just dividing by 36 inches per yard.

1080 ÷ 36 = <u>30 yards of string remaining</u>

Answer:

she gave out 720 inches of string which is 20 yards so she has 30 yards left on the spool

Truck covers 40 m in 8.5 seconds slowing to a final speed of 2.8 m/s find original speed
sergejj [24]
V = u + at
2.8 = u + a*8.5
2.8 = u + 8.5a

s = ut + 0.5at^2
40 = u*8.5 + 0.5*a*8.5^2
40 = 8.5u + 36.125a

(2.8 = u + 8.5a) * 8.5
23.8 = 8.5u + 72.25a

Subtract those equations
16.2 = - 36.125a
a = 0.448

2.8 = u + (8.5*-0.448)
2.8 = u - 3.8
u = 6.6 m/s

Brainlist to whoever shows me how to solve this step by step.
Andrews [41]

Answer:

  x ∈ {-4, 2}

Step-by-step explanation:

The x-coefficient (+2) is the sum of the constants in the binomial factors of the equation, and the constant term (-8) is their product.

Since you're familiar with the divisors of 8, you know that the two factors of -8 that total +2 are -2 and +4. These are the constants in the binomial factors:

  f(x) = x^2 +2x -8

  f(x) = (x -2)(x +4)

The roots of f(x) are the values of x that make these factors be zero. They are x=2 and x=-4.

The roots of f(x) are -4 and 2.

_____

Above is the solution by factoring. We can also "complete the square" to find the roots. Anytime we're looking for roots, we want the values of x that make f(x) = 0.

  x^2 +2x -8 = 0

  x^2 +2x = 8 . . . . . add the opposite of the constant

  x^2 +2x +1 = 8 +1 . . . . . add the square of half the x-coefficient: (2/2)² = 1

  (x +1)² = 9 . . . . . . . . . . . write as squares

  x +1 = ±√9 = ±3 . . . . . . take the square root

  x = -1 ± 3 . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 1

The roots are x=-4, x=2.
