A rectangular prism is a polyhedron with six rectangular faces. To fully define a rectangular prism, one must know its length, width and height. The volume of a rectangular prism is expressed as the product of its dimensions - length, width and height. To calculate for its width, we use the volume formula.

V = l x w x h
From the given, we have:
l = 3w
h = 2 + w
V = 135 ft^3

Substituting the given expressions,
135 ft^3 = 3w (w) (2+w)
135 ft^3 = 6w^2 + 3w^3

Solving for w, we obtain the following values:
w1= 3
w2 = 2.5 + 2.96i
w3 = 2.5 - 22.96i

Since width should not have a negative value, the value of w should be 3 ft.

A rocket is launched from a tower. The height of the rocket, y in feet, is related to the time after launch, x in seconds, by th
Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

The rocket will hit the ground after about 8.20 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

The height of the rocket <em>y</em>, in feet, <em>x</em> seconds after launch is modeled by the equation:

y=-16x^2+121x+83

We want to find the time at which the rocket will hit the ground.

If it hits the ground, the height of the rocket <em>y</em> will be 0. Thus:

0=-16x^2+121x+83

We can solve for <em>x</em>. Factoring (if possible at all) or completing the square can be tedious, so we can use the quadratic formula:

\displaystyle x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

In this case, <em>a</em> = -16, <em>b</em> = 121, and <em>c </em>= 83. Substitute:

\displaystyle x=\frac{-(121)\pm\sqrt{(121)^2-4(-16)(83)}}{2(-16)}

Simplify:

\displaystyle x=\frac{-121\pm\sqrt{19953}}{-32}

Divide everything by -1 and simplify the square root. The plus/minus will remain unchanged:

\displaystyle x=\frac{121\pm3\sqrt{2217}}{32}

Therefore, our two solutions are:

\displaystyle x=\frac{121+3\sqrt{2217}}{32}\approx 8.20\text{ or } x=\frac{121-3\sqrt{2217}}{32}\approx -0.63

Since time cannot be negative, we can ignore the second solution.

Therefore, the rocket will hit the ground after about 8.20 seconds.

What percentage of the actual salary are the actual total expenses?
Setler79 [48]

Answer:

95.97%

Step-by-step explanation:

Observing the table we have

The actual salary is $3,600 -----> This amount represent the 100%

The actual total expenses are $3,455

using proportion

Find out what percentage of the actual salary are the actual total expenses

\frac{100}{3,600}=\frac{x}{3,455}\\ \\ x=100*3,455/3,600\\ \\ x=95.97\%
