Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

let side of cube=x cm

volume=x³ cm³

again side=(x-3) cm

volume=(x-3)³ cm³

x³-(x-3)³=1385

(a³-b³)=(a-b)(a²+ab+b²)

(x-x+3){x²+x(x-3)+(x-3)²}=1385

3(x^2+x²-3x+x²-6x+9)=1385

3(3x²-9x+9)=1385

9x²-27x+27=1385

9x²-27x+27-1385=0

9x²-27x-1358=0

x=\frac{27\pm\sqrt{(-27)^2-4*9*(-1358)} }{2*9} \\x=\frac{27\pm\sqrt{729+48888} }{18} \\or~x=\frac{27\pm\sqrt{49617} }{18} \\or~x=\frac{27\pm 222.749}{18} \\taking positive side only as negative sign gives negative length.\\or~x=\frac{27+222.749}{18} \\or~x\approx13.87

Here are some numbers written in standard form. From these numbers write down/
ELEN [110]

Answer:

When we have a number like:

1.0x10^n

To rewrite this in standard form, we need to:

if n is positive, we move the decimal point n times to the right, adding zeros when necessary.

1.0x10^3

n = 3. then we add 3 zeros between the one and the decimal point, this is:

1.0x10^3 = 1000

if n< 0, then we move the decimal point n times to the left.

If we had:

1.0x10^-3

We move the decimal point 3 times to the left, adding zeros as this is needed.

1.0x10^-3 = 0.001

if n = 0, we have:

1.0x10^0 = 1.0

Now let's rewrite all the given numbers:

A) 3.4x10^-1  = 0.34

B) 1.36x10^6  = 1360000

C) 7.9x10^0  = 7.9

D) 2.4x10^5  = 240000

E) 5.21x10^-3  = 0.00521

F) 4.3x10^-2 = 0.043
