First sketch your problem

identify the right angle triangle in the sketch with a=20ft, b=6 ft and c=?

apply Pythagorean relation, a²+b²=c²

=20²+6²=c²

c²=436

c=20.88 ft

Answer:

(a) 74553

(b) 172120

(c) 234802

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$y = \frac{340110}{1 + 377e^{-0.259t}}$

Solving (a): 1998

Year 1998 means that:

$t =1998 - 1980$

$t =18$

So, we have:

$y = \frac{340110}{1 + 377e^{-0.259*18}}$

$y = \frac{340110}{1 + 377e^{-4.662}}$

$y = \frac{340110}{1 + 3.562}$

$y = \frac{340110}{4.562}$

$y = 74553$ --- approximated

Solving (b): 2003

Year 2003 means that:

$t = 2003 - 1980$

$t =23$

So, we have:

$y = \frac{340110}{1 + 377e^{-0.259*23}}$

$y = \frac{340110}{1 + 377e^{-5.957}}$

$y = \frac{340110}{1 + 0.976}$

$y = \frac{340110}{1.976}$

$y = 172120$ --- approximated

Solving (c): 2006

Year 2006 means that:

$t = 2006 - 1980$

$t =26$

So, we have:

$y = \frac{340110}{1 + 377e^{-0.259*26}}$

$y = \frac{340110}{1 + 377e^{-6.734}}$

$y = \frac{340110}{1 + 0.4485}$

$y = \frac{340110}{1.4485}$

$y = 234802$ --- approximated

The volume of a rectangular prism is given by the expression 2x^4+2x^3-4x^2-4x. Write the volume as the product its dimensions.

telo118 [61]

<h3>Answer: 2x(x^2-2)(x+1)</h3>

=========================================================

Explanation:

First factor out the GCF 2x

2x^4+2x^3-4x^2-4x

2x*x^3+2x*x^2-2x*2x-2x*2

2x(x^3 + x^2 - 2x - 2)

Then let's factor the expression inside the parenthesis using the factor by grouping method

x^3 + x^2 - 2x - 2

(x^3 + x^2) + (- 2x - 2)

x^2(x + 1) - 2(x + 1)

(x^2 - 2)(x+1)

We see that x^3 + x^2 - 2x - 2 factors to (x^2-2)(x+1)

Overall, the original expression fully factors to 2x(x^2-2)(x+1)

length = 2x

width = x^2-2

height = x+1

The order of length, width, and height doesn't matter.
