Given:

The volume of the rectangular prism is 

b^{3}+8 b^{2} +19b+12,

the height is h=(b+3)

1. The volume of a rectangular prism is (base area)*height

also, notice that the volume is a third degree polynomial, the height is a 1st degree polynomial, so the base area must be a 2nd degree polynomial, whose coefficients we don't know yet.
Let this quadratic polynomial be (mb^{2}+nb+k)

 
2

b^{3}+8 b^{2} +19b+12=(mb^{2}+nb+k)*(b+3)


notice that  b^{3} is the product of the largest 2 terms: mb^{2} and b, so m must be 1

also, notice that 12 is the product of the constants, k and 3

so k*3=12, this means k=4

3
we write the above equality again:

b^{3}+8 b^{2} +19b+12=(b^{2}+nb+4)*(b+3)


(b^{2}+nb+4)(b+3)= b^{3}+3 b^{2} +nb^{2}+3nb+4b+12

== b^{3}+(n+3)b^{2}+(3n+4)b+12


4
now compare the coefficient with the left side:

8 b^{2}=(n+3)b^{2}

8=n+3

n=5


substituting n=5: 

the base area is b^{2}+5b+4

Answer: b^{2}+5b+4

Classify the conclusion of the hypothesis test as a Type I error, a Type II error, or a correct decision. In 1991, the average m
Fofino [41]

Answer:

B. Correct decision

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the average math SAT score of students at the school has changed from the 1991 mean of 465. That is μ≠465.

This hypothesis was tested and the null hypothesis, that states that the average math SAT score of students at the school has not changed from the 1991 mean, was rejected.

Then, the conclusion of rejecting the null hypothesis is right, as μ=465 is false.

When a group of colleagues discussed where their annual retreat should take place, they found that all the colleagues: 25 would
raketka [301]

Answer:

63 people

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following:

Let P: the subset of those 25 who would not go to a park

Let B: the subset of those 27 who would not go to the beach

Let C: the subset of those 24 that would not go to a cottage

Thus:

The intersection PB of subsets P and B consists of 10 people (i.e. neither a park nor a beach)

The intersection BC of subsets B and C consists of 7 people (i.e. neither beach nor cottage)

The intersection PC of subsets P and C consists of 6 people (i.e. neither a park nor a cottage)

We are also told that the PBC intersection of subsets P, B, and C consists of 4 person (i.e. would not go to a park, beach, or cottage)

The complement of the union of the sets P, B and C for the whole group consists of 6 people (that is, willing to go to the three places)

The formula to apply is as follows:

# (PUBUC) = #A + #B + #C - #AnB - #BnC - #AnC + #AnBnC

Replacing:

 = 25 + 27 + 24 - 10 - 7 - 6 + 4

= 57 people

those who are willing to all who are 6 would be missing us, therefore:

57 + 6 = 63

The group consists of a total of 63 people.

I dont get this please help
Viktor [21]

Step-by-step explanation:

the side lengths of the base (the ground triangle) are equal. that means every ground side length is 8 in.

and that also makes the 3 triangles of the side areas of the pyramid equal.

so, for the surface area of the pyramid we need to calculate the area of one side area triangle, multiply it by 3 (as we have 3 side areas) and add the area of the ground triangle.

the area of a triangle is

baseline × height / 2

so, for a side area triangle we get

8 × 14 / 2 = 8×7 = 56 in²

all 3 side areas together are then

3×56 = 168 in²

the ground area triangle is then

8 × 6.9 / 2 = 4 × 6.9 = 27.6 in²

so, the total surface area of the pyramid is

168 + 27.6 = 195.6 in²

What is 25.0996 rounded to the nearest thousandth
madreJ [45]

Answer:

25.100

Step-by-step explanation:

The thousandth place is the third digit to the right of the decimal point - tenths is the first, hundredths is the second, thousandths is the third.  Since six rounds up and both nines round up, one must round up all of the way from the fourth decimal place to the tenth decimal place.
