Answer:

a = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello, please consider the following.

6x^3+18x^2-240x=6x(x^2+3x-40)\\\\\text{** The sum of the zeroes is -3=-8+5 and the product is -40=-8*5. **}\\\\\text{** So, we can factorise. **}\\\\6x^3+18x^2-240x=6x(x^2+3x-40)=6x(x^2+8x-5x-40)\\\\=6x(x(x+8)-5(x+8))\\\\\large \boxed{=6x(x+8)(x-5)}

So, a = 5.

Thank you.

A man is on a diet and goes into a shop to buy some turkey slices. He is given 3 slices which together weigh 1/3 of a pound, but
Ghella [55]
The three slices are each approximately 1/9 pound in weight, and, since 2/9 is less than 1/4, he can eat 2 whole slices and be okay. If he wants to eat partial slices, then he could eat 2 1/4 slices, as each slice weighs 4/36 pounds, so 2 slices would equal 8/36 pounds, leaving 1/36 pound left over in his diet, which is a quarter of the third slice.

Sphere and a cylinder have the same radius and height. The volume of the cylinder is 64 meters cubed.
Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

C. 128/3 meters cubed

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a cylinder is denoted by: V=\pi r^2h, where r is the radius and h is the height. We know it's equal to 64, so we can set that equal to V:

V=\pi r^2h

64=\pi r^2h

We know that the sphere and cylinder have the same height and radius. However, the "height" of a sphere is actually the same as its diameter, which is twice its radius. Then, we can replace h in the above equation with 2r:

64=\pi r^2h

64=\pi r^2*2r=2\pi r^3

\pi r^3=64/2=32

Now, the volume of a sphere is denoted by: V=\frac{4}{3} \pi r^3, where r is the radius. From above, we know that \pi r^3=32, so we can plug this into the equation:

V=\frac{4}{3} \pi r^3

V=\frac{4}{3} *32=128/3

Thus, the answer is C.
