Answer: the cubic equation is

L^3 - 52L +144 =0

Lenght= 4inches

Width = 2inches

Height = 3 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the lenght= L

Let the width = W

Let the height = H

Volume of the box = 24 cubic inch

Total surface area of the box = 52 sq. Inches

W = L/2

W, = 0.5L

Volume = L * B * H

Insert W = 0.5L

L * 0.5L * H = 24

0.5L^2 * H = 24

H = 24/0.5L^2

= 48/L^2

Surface area equation

2(L*W) + 2(L+H) + 2(W+H)= 52

Divide through by 2

(L*W) + (L+H) + (W*H) = 26

Insert W= 0.5L

(L*0.5L) + (L*H) + (0.5L*H) = 26

0.5L^2 + LH + 0.5LH = 26

0.5L^2 + 1.5LH = 26

Insert H = 48/L^2

0.5L^2 + 1.5*48/L = 26

0.5L^2 + 72/L = 26

Multiply through by L to get rid of the denominator

0.5L^3 + 72 - 26L = 0

0.5L^3 - 26L + 72 = 0

Multiply through by 2, we have

L^3 - 52L +144 =0

Try L= 4

4*3 -52(4)+ 144 =0

0= 0

(L - 4) is a factor of cubic equation

Therefore Length (L) = 4 inch

Recall that W= L/2

W= 4/2

W= 2 inches

H= 48/L*2

= 48/4*2

= 48/16

= 3 inches

Give the first ten terms of the following sequences. You can assume that the sequences start with an index of 1. Logs are to bas
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

a)

a1 = log(1) = 0 (2⁰ = 1)

a2 = log(2) = 1 (2¹ = 2)

a3 = log(3) = ln(3)/ln(2) = 1.098/0.693 = 1.5849

a4 = log(4) = 2 (2² = 4)

a5 = log(5) = ln(5)/ln(2) = 1.610/0.693 = 2.322

a6 = log(6) = log(3*2) = log(3)+log(2) = 1.5849+1 = 2.5849 (here I use the property log(a*b) = log(a)+log(b)

a7 = log(7) = ln(7)/ln(2) = 1.9459/0.6932 = 2.807

a8 = log(8) = 3 (2³ = 8)

a9 = log(9) = log(3²) = 2*log(3) = 2*1.5849 = 3.1699 (I use the property log(a^k) = k*log(a) )

a10 = log(10) = log(2*5) = log(2)+log(5) = 1+ 2.322= 3.322

b) I can take the results of log n we previously computed above to calculate 2^log(n), however the idea of this exercise is to learn about the definition of log_2:

log(x) is the number L such that 2^L = x. Therefore 2^log(n) = n if we take the log in base 2. This means that

a1 = 1

a2 = 2

a3 = 3

a4 = 4

a5 = 5

a6 = 6

a7 = 7

a8 = 8

a9 = 9

a10 = 10

I hope this works for you!!

Solve the following system of equations by substitution. 3x + 2y = -12 x = 2 A. (2, -9) B. (-2, -3) C. (3, 2) D. (2, 3)
Brilliant_brown [7]
Plugging it in, we get (3)(2)+2y=-12 and 6+2y=-12. Subtracting 6 from both sides, we get -18=2y and dividing by 2 we get y=-9  to get (2, -9) since x is first in the pair

Eric randomly surveyed 150 adults from a certain city and asked which team in a contest they were rooting​ for, either North Hig
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

  • A 95% confidence level interval will have 0.52 (lower interval) & 0.68 (upper interval) which means that that if 90 individuals root for North HS then p value is 0.6 which will fall in the 95% confidence interval range.
  • For the option B the p value will also be same as in case A hence B is true as an alternative hypothesis.
  • We can calculate P value

         Confidence Interval = p ± z \sqrt{p(1-p)/n}
