The volume of a cuboid is given by length × width × height

We have:

Volume = 7.6 ft³
Height = 3x - 1
Length = x + 5
Width = x

Substituting these into the formula, we have:

7.6 = (3x - 1) (x + 5) (x)
7.6 = [3x² + 15x - x - 5] (x)
7.6 = [3x² + 14x - 5](x)
7.6 = 3x³ + 14x² - 5x
0 = 3x³ + 14x² - 5x - 7.6

Drawing the graph is one way of finding the solution (refer to the graph below):

We have three solutions (where the curve crosses the x-axis):
x = -4.9
x = -0.6
x = 0.8

Putting these solutions back into the context, since we are looking for the value of x which is part of measurement of length, we cannot have negative value, so we will take the value of x = 0.8 ft

Converting  0.8 ft into inches = 0.8 × 12 inches = 9.6 inches

Answer: x = 9.6 inches

Suppose you know a certain parabola has a vertex of (2, 1) and a y-intercept of 4. By symmetry, you can conclude that the parabo
kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a parabola with a vertex point of (2, 1) and a <em>y-</em>intercept of <em>y</em> = 4.

And we want to determine another point on the parabola.

Recall that a parabola is symmetric along the axis of symmetry, which is the <em>x-</em>coordinate of the vertex.

Note that since the <em>y-</em>intercept of the parabola is <em>y</em> = 4, this means that a point on our parabola is (0, 4).

To get from (2, 1) to (0, 4), we move two units left and three units up.

Since the parabola is symmetric along axis of symmetry, another point on the parabola will be two units right and three units up. This yields (2 + 2, 1 + 3) or (4, 4).

Our answer is A.
