Answer:

Option C is correct.

The surface area increases by a factor of four.

Step-by-step explanation:

A rectangular prism is also known as a cuboid.

Take a rectangular prism for example with length, width and height given as x, y and z respectively.

The surface area of the rectangular prism is given as

S = 2xy + 2yz + 2xz = 2(xy + yz + xz)

If all the dimensions are now doubled, the length, width and height all become 2x, 2y and 2z respectively.

The new surface are is then

S₁ = 2(2x)(2y) + 2(2y)(2z) + 2(2x)(2z)

S₁ = 8xy + 8yz + 8xz

S₁ = 4 [2xy + 2yz + 2xz]

Showing that the new surface area = 4 × the old surface area.

S = 2xy + 2yz + 2xz

S₁ = 4 × S = 4S.

Hope this Helps!!!

2(wl+hl+hw) is the surface area of the rectangular prism
If you were to double the dimensions
2(2w2l+2h2l+2h2w)
This simlifies to
8(wl+hl+hw).
The surface area increases by a factor of four.

What is one light year in seconds need it to written out in the conversion format

ra1l [238]

In one year there are 365 days of 24 hours. Each hour has 60 minutes and each minute is 60 seconds long. So, 60s/min x 60 min/hr x 24hr/day x 365 days equals 31,536,000s.

Hope this helps you with your answer. If it is incorrect, then I am sorry.

Solve the equation on the interval [0,2π]

WARRIOR [948]

$\bf 16sin^5(x)+2sin(x)=12sin^3(x)
\\\\\\
16sin^5(x)+2sin(x)-12sin^3(x)=0
\\\\\\
\stackrel{common~factor}{2sin(x)}[8sin^4(x)+1-6sin^2(x)]=0\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
2sin(x)=0\implies sin(x)=0\implies \measuredangle x=sin^{-1}(0)\implies \measuredangle x=
\begin{cases}
0\\
\pi \\
2\pi 
\end{cases}\\\\
-------------------------------$

$\bf 8sin^4(x)+1-6sin^2(x)=0\implies 8sin^4(x)-6sin^2(x)+1=0$

now, this is a quadratic equation, but the roots do not come out as integers, however it does have them, the discriminant, b² - 4ac, is positive, so it has 2 roots, so we'll plug it in the quadratic formula,

$\bf 8sin^4(x)-6sin^2(x)+1=0\implies 8[~[sin(x)]^2~]^2-6[sin(x)]^2+1=0
\\\\\\
~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{quadratic formula}
\\\\
\begin{array}{lcccl}
& 8 sin^4& -6 sin^2(x)& +1\\
&\uparrow &\uparrow &\uparrow \\
&a&b&c
\end{array} 
\qquad \qquad 
sin(x)= \cfrac{ - b \pm \sqrt { b^2 -4 a c}}{2 a}
\\\\\\
sin(x)=\cfrac{-(-6)\pm\sqrt{(-6)^2-4(8)(1)}}{2(8)}\implies sin(x)=\cfrac{6\pm\sqrt{4}}{16}
\\\\\\
sin(x)=\cfrac{6\pm 2}{16}\implies sin(x)=
\begin{cases}
\frac{1}{2}\\\\
\frac{1}{4}
\end{cases}$

$\bf \measuredangle x=
\begin{cases}
sin^{-1}\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)
sin^{-1}\left( \frac{1}{4} \right)
\end{cases}\implies \measuredangle x=
\begin{cases}
\frac{\pi }{6}~,~\frac{5\pi }{6}\\
----------\\
\approx~0.252680~radians\\
\qquad or\\
\approx~14.47751~de grees\\
----------\\
\pi -0.252680\\
\approx 2.88891~radians\\
\qquad or\\
180-14.47751\\
\approx 165.52249~de grees
\end{cases}$

How do you solve quadratic equations?

masha68 [24]

In any equation there is a variable (usually x). In a quadratic equation there is a lot involved.

-B (+or-) sqrt of b^2 - 4 x A x C
________________________ divide it by
2 x A
There is usually an original equation that looks like: Ax^2 + Bx + C = 0 Use the variables from the equation to the left to fill the upper equation. (You can also look up a better formula if confused).

I need help pls help

Answer:

[?] = 4

(the complete term is $4\frac{1}{2}\ \text{cups}$ )

Step-by-step explanation:

$8\ \text{cups} - 1\frac{1}{3}\ \text{cups} - 2\frac{1}{6}\ \text{cups} = (8-1-2)\ \text{cups} + \frac{-\frac{6}{3} - 1}{6}\ \text{cups} = 5\ \text{cups} + \frac{-3}{6}\ \text{cups} = 5\ \text{cups} + \frac{-1}{2}\ \text{cups} = 4\ \text{cups} + \frac{2 - 1}{2}\ \text{cups}$
