Answer:
-40 < t < 284
Step-by-step explanation:
The antifreeze protects the car between −40°C and 140°C.
Using t for temperature, the compound inequality of the Celsius temperature range is:
-40 < t < 140
The conversion formula is given to find degrees C in given degrees F. We can solve the formula for F, so we get degrees F in terms of degrees C.
C = (5/9)(F - 32) <------ <em>conversion formula from deg F to deg C</em>
Solve for F:
(9/5)C = F - 32
(9/5)C + 32 = F
F = (9/5)C + 32 <------ <em>conversion formula from deg C to deg F</em>
Now we convert -40 deg C to deg F using the formula we just derived.
F = (9/5)C + 32
F = (9/5)(-40) + 32
F = -72 + 32
F = -40
-40 deg C = -40 deg F
(This is not a mistake or a typo. -40 deg C really is the same as -40 deg F.)
Now we convert 140 deg C to deg F using the formula we just derived.
F = (9/5)C + 32
F = (9/5)(140) + 32
F = 252 + 32
F = 284
140 deg C = 284 deg F
Now we rewrite the compound inequality with Fahrenheit temperatures.
-40 < t < 284
B, the bottom of the figure contains points E, F, and H
Transpose all the terms in the left hand side of the equation. The equation then becomes,
8x² - 22x - 6 =0
Divide both sides of the equation by 2,
4x² - 11x - 3 = 0
In this equation, A = 4, B = -11, and C = -3
With the variables identified, the quadratic equation can be used to identify the roots,
x = (-B +/- √B² - 4AC) / 2A
The values of x in the equation are,
<em> x = 3 and x = -1/4
</em><em />Thus, the one of the answer to this item is the third choice, x = 3. <em>
</em>
.50 is the answer I think, hope this helps
