An open box with a volume of 1500 cm cube is to be constructed by taking a piece of cardboard 20 cm by 40 cm, cutting squares of

side length x cm from each corner, and folding up the sides. Find the exact dimensions of the box.

The dimensions of the box formed will be:
width: 20 - 2x 
length: 40 - 2x
height: x

Volume = width x length x height
1500 = x(20 - 2x)(40 - 2x)
1500 = x(800 + 4x² - 120x)
1500 = 4x³ - 120x² + 800x
0 = 4x³ - 120x² + 800x - 1500
0 = x³ - 30x² + 200x - 375
Solving the cubic equation:
x = 5 (only integer root)

Length = 30 cm
Width = 10 cm
Height = 5 cm

-4x - 6y = 6<br> 4x + 6y = -4
Sloan [31]

Step-by-step explanation:

-4x - 6y = 6

4x + 6y = -4

To solve a system of equations, we can add the two equations and solve for one of the remaining variables -- let's try to eliminate the x variable when we add the two equations together.

Right now, there's a -4x term in the first equation, and a 4x term in the second equation, so if we add those together, we'll be able to eliminate the x variable altogether and solve for y.

However, when we also have a -6y term in the first equation and 6y term in the second equation, so adding these together will also eliminate the y term, leaving a 0 on the left-hand side of the equation.

If we add the two numbers on the right side of the equation, we get -2, which does not equal 0, meaning there are no solutions to this system of equations.

What is the area of a sector with a central angle of 2π/9 radians and a radius of 16.7 ft?
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

Area of the sector is 97.30 square feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the sector is given by

A=(\frac{\theta}{2})r^2

Plugging the known values in this formula to find the area of the sector

A=(\frac{2\pi/9}{2})(16.7)^2\\\\A=\frac{2\pi}{18}\cdot16.7^2

Use the value of π as 3.14

A=\frac{2\cdot3.14}{18}\cdot16.7^2

Simplifying, we get

A=97.3016

Rounded to the nearest hundredth, we get

A=97.30

What is the cube root of 27 in radical notation ​
vitfil [10]

Answer: hi im mongraal

Step-by-step explanation:

In mathematics, a cube root of a number x is a number y such that y³ = x. All nonzero real numbers, have exactly one real cube root and a pair of complex conjugate cube roots, and all nonzero complex numbers have three distinct complex cube roots. For example, the real cube root of 8, denoted ³√8, is 2, because 2³ = 8, while the other cube roots of 8 are −1 + √3i and −1 − √3i. The three cube roots of −27i are 3i, 3√(3)/2-3/2i, and -3√(3)/2-3/2i.

Simplify: 3x^2-8x+4 and show work please
Bad White [126]

believe what you're asking is to turn the trinomial into two binomials

So you first have to get 3x²; the only way to get this is

(3x    )(x     )     when multiplying that, you would get 3x²

when dealing with the -8x and the 4, you must find numbers that are factors of four (when multiplied together they will equal 4) and will multiply with the x's to get -8

(3x-2)(x-2)

you can tell that this is the answer because when you multiply though you will get:

3x-2x²-6x+4

or: 3x²-8x_4

Hope this helped
