Answer:

a) 1:3

b) 9:225,000

Step-by-step explanation:

1 hour is equal to 60 minutes. Written as a fraction it would look like

$\frac{20}{60}$ which would be equal to $\frac{1}{3}$ , or $1:3$

Just multiply both sides of the ratio by 9, you will get $9:225,000$

Correct Answer: First Option

Explanation:

There are two ways to find the actual roots:

a) Either solve the given quadratic equation to find the actual roots

b) Or substitute the value of Possible Rational Roots one by one to find out which satisfies the given equation.

Method a is more convenient and less time consuming, so I'll be solving the given equation by factorization to find its actual roots. To find the actual roots set the given equation equal to zero and solve for x as given below:

$2x^{2} +2x-24=0\\ \\ 2(x^{2} +x-12)=0\\ \\ x^{2} +x-12=0\\ \\ x^{2} +4x-3x-12=0\\ \\ x(x+4)-3(x+4)=0\\ \\ (x-3)(x+4)=0\\ \\ x-3=0, x=3\\ \\ or\\\\x+4=0, x=-4$

This means the actual roots of the given equation are 3 and -4. So first option gives the correct answer.

5. the price of an ipod dropped from $299.99 to $180.55. what was the percent decrease in price? (round to nearest hundredth per

max2010maxim [7]

If you would like to know what was the percent decrease in price, you can calculate this using the following steps:

x% of $299.99 is $180.55
x% * 299.99 = 180.55
x/100 * 299.99 = 180.55
x = 180.55 * 100 / 299.99
x = 60.19%

100% - 60.19% = 39.81%

The correct result would be 39.81%.

Solve 4/x-4=x/x-4-4/3 for x and determine if the solution is extraneous or not

4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

x = 4 (extraneous solution)

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac { 4 } { x - 4 } = \frac { x } { x - 4 } - \frac { 4 } { 3 } \\ \frac { 4 } { x - 4 } - \frac { x } { x - 4 } = - \frac { 4 } { 3 } \\ \frac { 4 - x } { x - 4 } = - \frac { 4 } { 3 } \\ 3 ( 4 - x ) = - 4 ( x - 4 ) \\ 1 2 - 3 x = - 4 x + 1 6 \\ 4 x - 3 x = 1 6 - 1 2 \\ x = 4 \\$

This solution is extraneous. Reason being that even if it can be solved algebraically, it is still not a valid solution because if we substitute back $x=4$ , we will get two fractions with zero denominator which would be undefined.

Zach keeps his pet chameleon Pinky in a terrarium with the dimensions shown below. There are 3 inches of sand in the bottom of t

VMariaS [17]

The correct question is
Zach keeps his pet chameleon Pinky in a terrarium with the dimensions 8 x 20. There are three inches of sand in the bottom of the terrarium. Zach gets a new terrarium that is larger. The base of the new terrarium is 10 x 24 inches. Zach moved the existing sand to the new terrarium. How deep will the sand be in the new terrarium?


Step 1
find the volume of sand
volume of sand=8*20*3------------>Volume of sand=480 in³

Volume of sand in the new terrarium=10*24*h
where h------------> is the deep in the new terrarium
remember that the volume of sand is the same
so
10*24*h=480----------> h=480/(10*24)-----------> h=2 in

the answer is 2 in
