Answer:
x = -4/5
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve for x:
(5 x + 4) (8 x - 71) = 0
Split into two equations:
5 x + 4 = 0 or 8 x - 71 = 0
Subtract 4 from both sides:
5 x = -4 or 8 x - 71 = 0
Divide both sides by 5:
x = -4/5 or 8 x - 71 = 0
Add 71 to both sides:
x = -4/5 or 8 x = 71
Divide both sides by 8:
Answer: x = -4/5 or x = 71/8
1/16 * 6 = 6/16 or reduced to 3/8
The unoccupied volume will be the volume of the can minus the volume of the three tennis balls.
V=HπR^2-3(4πr^3)/3
V=HπR^2-4πr^3 where H=height of can, R=radius of can, r=radius of ball
We are told H=7, R=1.5, and r=1.125 (2.25/2=d/2=r) so
V=7π1.5^2-4π1.125^3
V=15.75π-5.6953125π in^3
V≈31.58 in^3
