Answer: The area of the lake is actually 182 square miles 1 inch represents one side 3 miles long the other side is also 3 miles. 3×3=9 square miles. 1 Square Inch on the map represents 9 Square Miles.
Step-by-step explanation: If the area on the map is 18 square inches, and each square inch represents 9 square miles, multiply 18×9=182 to get the area of that big lake.
The degree refers to the x to some exponent where the highest exponent is the degree.
Degree: 3
The leading coefficient is the coefficient of the term we just found(of the highest exponent)
Leading Coefficient: 1
The constant term is the term without an x in it.
Constant Term: 1
Set it up like a regular equation. I used:
As you can see, however, I inserted the "less than" symbol rather than the equal sign because values greater than a certain value can also equal "x". Solve it like a normal equation and you will arrive at:
<u>
</u>
This means that, as long as x is greater than 45, "6x" will be greater than "3x+135". Thus, if you bring 46 students, the Science Center will cost less.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The volume of a rectanguiar shape like this one is V = L * W * H, where the letters represent Length, Width and Height. Here L is the longest dimension and is 28 - 2x; W is the width and is 22-2x; and finally, x is the height. Thus, the volume of this box must be
V(x) = (28 - 2x)*(22 - 2x)*x
and we want to maximize V(x).
One way of doing that is to graph V(x) and look for any local maximum of the graph. We'd want to determine the value of x for which V(x) is a maximum.
Another way, for those who know some calculus, is to use the first and second derivatives to identify the value of x at which V is at a maximum.
I have provided the function that you requested. If you'd like for us to go all the way to a solution, please repost your question.
