An Aquarium’s dimensions are 3 1/4 ft x 2 ft x 1 3/4. What is the volume of the Aquarium?

Volume = length x width x height

Volume = 3 1/4 x 2 x 1 3/4 = 11 3/8 cubic feet

11 3/8 ft^3

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume is given by

V = l*w*h

V = 3 1/4 * 2 * 1 3/4

Change the number to improper fractions

V = (4*3+1)/4  *2 * (4*1+3)/4

   = 13/4 *2* 7/4

Rewriting

   = 13/1 * 2/4 * 7/4

    = 13/1 * 1/2 *7/4

    = 91/8

Changing back to a mixed number

8 goes into 91  11 times with 3 left over

11 3/8 ft^3

set each factor equal to 0

4x-3 = 0

2x-1 = 0

solve for x.

4x-3=0

4x=3

x= 3/4

solve for x. 

2x-1= 0

2x= 1

x= 1/2

eventually after a few more steps, your answer should be 1/2 is less than or equal to x and 3/4 is greater than or equal to x

let's call the solutions x₁ = (5 - 2√7)/3 and x₂ = (5 + 2√7)/3

then the equation is (x-x₁)(x-x₂) = 0

if you fill that in you get a lot of numbers which you can recognize as ax²+bx+c=0.

step-by-step explanation:

you can see that a=1 (there is just an x²)

b = (-5 -2√7 + 2√7 - 5)/3 = -10/3

c = -2√7)/3 ) * (-5+2√7)/3) = -1/3

so your answer is 3x^2 – 10x – 1 = 0
