Answer:

4 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

A box has a volume of 308 cm cubed.

Its height is 4 cm greater than its length.

Its length is 3 cm greater than its width.

Question asked:

What is the width of the box?

<u>Solution</u>:

Let width  = x\ cm

Length = x+3\ cm

Height = x+3+4=x+7\ cm

<u>As we know:</u>

<u />Volume\ of\ box=length\times width\times height

308=(x+3)\times x\times(x+7)\\ \\ 308=(x^{2} +3x)(x+7)\\ \\ 308=x^{2} (x+7)+ 3x(x+7)\\ \\ 308=x^{3} +7x^{2} +3x^{2} +21x\\ \\ 308=x^{3} +10x^{2} +21x\\ \\ Subtract\ 308\ from\ both\ sides\\ \\ x^{3} +10x^{2} +21x-308=0\\ \\ factor\ left\ side\ of\ equation\\ \\ (x-4)(x^{2} +14x+77)=0\\ \\  Set\ factors\ equal\ to\ 0.\\ \\ x-4=0 \ or\  x^{2} +14x+77=0\\ \\ \\

As width can never be in negative, x= 4\ cm

By substituting the value:-

Width  = x\ cm = 4 cm

Thus, width of the box is 4 cm.

PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ratling [72]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

PQRS is a cyclic quadrilateral.

the opposite angles in a cyclic quadrilateral sum to 180° then

∠ Q + ∠ S = 180 ( substitute values )

3x - 8 + 3x + 8 = 180

6x = 180 ( divide both sides by 6 )

x = 30

Then

∠ Q = 3x - 8 = 3(30) - 8 = 90 - 8 = 82°

∠ S = 3x + 8 = 3(30) + 8 = 90 + 8 = 98°

∠ P = x + 15 = 30 + 15 = 45°

∠ R = 180° - ∠ P = 180° - 45° = 135°

The value of y varies directly with x and y=3 when x=-6. Find y when x=1
Iteru [2.4K]
Hi, ok all you need to do is use the direct variation formula which is= y/x=y/x so you will replace your numbers by each value which get us to = 3/-6=y/1 so you cross multiply which gives us 3=-6y you divide 3 by -6 and that is the value of y, thank you for reading hope it helps ;)

Which of the following about the normal distribution is not​ true?
Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

Normal distribution is a Continuous distribution.

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Distribution:

The following information is true about normal distribution.

  • ​Theoretically, the​ mean, median, and mode are the same.
  • Its parameters are the​ mean, mu​, and standard​ deviation, sigma.
  • About two thirds of the observations fall within plus or minus 1 standard deviation from the mean.

But normal distribution is not a discrete distribution. It is a continuous distribution.

  • The normal distribution is a continuous probability distribution. This has several implications for probability.
  • The probability that a normal random variable X equals any particular value is 0.
