Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
y > (1/3)x + 4 has an infinite number of solutions. Draw a dashed line representing y = (1/3)x + 4 and then pick points at random on either side of this line. For example, pick (1, 6). Substitute 1 for x in y > (1/3)x + 4 and 6 for y. Is the resulting inequality true? Is 6 > (1/3)(1) + 4 true? YES. So we know that (1, 6) is a solution of y > (1/3)x + 4. Because (1, 6) lies ABOVE the line y = (1/3)x + 4, we can conclude that all points abovve this line are solutions.
Answer:
25%
Step-by-step explanation:
Price reduction = 20 - 15 = $ 5
Percent decrease of price = (5/20)*100 = 5*5 = 25%
Volume of the box= <span>56 cubic inches
let x is the length, then
width =</span><span>2 inches shorter than its length = x - 2
</span>height = <span>3 inches taller than its length = x+3
Volume = length x width x height
56 = x x (x-2) x (x+3)
56 = (x</span>² -2x)(x+3)
56 = x³ +3x² -2x² - 6x
56 = x³ + x² -6x
x³+x²-6x-56 = 0
using the rational root theorem and factoring the polynomial;
(x-4)(x² +5x +14) = 0
from here;
x-4 = 0
x = 4
So, length = 4 inches
width = x - 2 = 4 -2 = 2 inches
length = x + 3 = 4 + 3 = 7 inches
volume = l x w x h = 4 x 2 x 7 = 56
