Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is y - 5 = 0.5x² + 6x - 3

We have to find the number of x - intercepts the graph of this equation will make.

For x-intercepts we will put y = 0

so 0 - 5 =0.5x² + 6x - 3

     0.5x² + 6x - 3 + 5 = 0

   0.5x² + 6x + 2 = 0

      x² + 12x + 4 = 0

We know if a quadratic equation is ax² + bx + c = 0

and b² - 4ac > 0 there will be two real roots.

In this equation b = 12, C = 4 and a = 1 (12)² - 4 × 4 = 144 - 16

                                                         = 128 > 0

Therefore, there will be two intercepts of x

Find the volume of a right circular cone that has a height of 12.5 cm and a base with a circumference of 5.8 cm. Round your answ
BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

V = 11.2 cm^3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Shape: Right Circular cone

Height, h = 12.5 cm

Base circumference, C = 5.8cm

Required:

Calculate Volume

The volume of a cone is calculated as thus;

Volume, V = \frac{1}{3}\pi r^2h

Where V, r and h represent the volume, the radius and the height of the cone respectively

But first we need to calculate the radius of the cone.

Using formula of circumference.

C = 2\pi r

We have C to be 5.8cm

By substituting this value;

5.8 = 2\pi r

Divide through by 2\pi

\frac{5.8}{2\pi} = \frac{2\pi r}{2\pi}

r = \frac{5.8}{2\pi}

r = \frac{2.9}{\pi}

Now, we can calculate the volume of the cone

By substituting r = \frac{2.9}{\pi} and h = 12.5 cm;

V = \frac{1}{3}\pi r^2h becomes

V = \frac{1}{3}\pi * (\frac{2.9}{\pi})^2 * 12.5

V = \frac{1}{3}\pi * \frac{8.41}{\pi^2} * 12.5

V = \frac{1}{3} * \frac{8.41}{\pi} * 12.5

Take \pi as 3.14

V = \frac{1}{3} * \frac{8.41}{3.14} * 12.5

V = 11.15976

V = 11.2 cm^3 ---- Approximated

Hence, the volume of the cone is; V = 11.2 cm^3

The shorter sides of an acute triangle are x cm and 2x cm. The longest side of the triangle is 15 cm. What is the smallest possi
Ierofanga [76]
For an acute angled triangle 

h^2 < x^2 + y^2      where h = longest side and x and y are the other 2 sides.

so here we have

15^2 <  x^2 + (2x)^2

15^2 <  5x^2

x^2 >  15*3 = 45
x > sqrt 45 or x > 6.7

So smallest whole number value of  x is 7

Sandra wants to rent a car to take a trip and has a budget of $90. There is a fixed rental fee of $30 and a daily fee of $10. Wr
nikdorinn [45]

Option B is the correct answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1 :

Given,

Maximum budget Sandra has for the trip is $90

Fixed rental fee = $30

Daily fee = $10

Step 2 :

Let x be the number of the days for which Sandra can go for the trip

If the daily fee is $10, the cost for x number of days would be 10*x

the fixed fee is $30

So the equation is represent the cost of the trip is 30 + 10 x

given that the maximum budget is $90, the above cost should always be less $90

So the required inequality is 30 + 10x ≤ 90

Option B is the correct answer
