What is water cement ratio?

Water-cement ratio is the ration of mass of water to the mass of cement.
Numerically it is around 0.5, depending on the desired strength and workability.

A low ratio results in a dry mix which is difficult to compact, with a risk of developing voids in the final concrete.
A high ratio weakens the concrete, and is highly undesirable if strength is important.
To improve both the strength and workability of the concrete, sometime plasticizers are added.

It would have been appropriate to post this question in the Engineering section (if one is available).

Normally water cement ratio falls under 0.4 to 0.6 as per IS Code 10262 (2009) for nominal mix (M10, M15 …. M25)

Only the last two options are true.

The first one is false, because 4.5 is the value of the maximum of f(x), not the point where it is reached.

The second one is false, because g(x) has a maximum of 9, so it is a downward-facing parabola (just like f(x)), so it doesn't have a minimum.

The third one is true, because the maximum value of f(x) is 4.5, and the maximum value of g(x) is 9, which is twice the maximum of f(x)

The last one is false (see point 2).

Factor the trinomial x^2 - 16x +63

Butoxors [25]

Factor the following:
x^2 - 16 x + 63
The factors of 63 that sum to -16 are -7 and -9. So, x^2 - 16 x + 63 = (x - 7) (x - 9):
Answer: (x - 7) (x - 9)
