Solve 3x2 + 18x + 15 = 0 by completing the square.

1 answer:

3 0

3x^2 + 18x + 15 = 0
15 + 18x + 3x2 = 0
3(5 + 6x + x2) = 0
3((5 + x)(1 + x)) = 0
5 + x = 0
5 + -5 + x = 0 + -5 Combine like terms: 5 + -5 = 0 0 + x = 0 + -5 x = 0 + -5
x = -5
--------------------------------------------
1 + x = 0 x=-1
-5,-1

A designer is creating various open-top boxes by cutting four equally-sized squares from the corners of a standard sheet of 8.5

Oxana [17]

Answer:

L(x) = 11 - 2x

W(x) = 8.5 - 2x

V(x) = 4x³ - 39x² + 93.5x

Step-by-step explanation:

If a square of x sides length is cut from each corner of the sheet, then it meas the length and width of the box a shortened by x inces from each side, giving a total subtraction of 2 times x inches.

FORMULA FOR LENGTH:

Since, Length is the bigger side of the box. Therefore, it will be taken on 11 inches side of the paper:

L(x) = 11 - 2x

FORMULA FOR WIDTH:

Since, width is the smaller side of the box. Therefore, it will be taken on 8.5 inches side of the paper:

W(x) = 8.5 - 2x

FORMULA FOR VOLUME:

Volume is the product of length, width and time:

V(x) = L(x)*W(x)*H(x)

Height must be equal to the side folds which are equal to length of the side of square = x:

H(x) = x

Therefore,

V(x) = (11 - 2x)(8.5 - 2x)(x)

V(x) = (93.5 -22x -17x + 4x²)(x)

V(x) = 4x³ - 39x² + 93.5x
