width, and depth. As part of an upcoming sales promotion, the company will offer two cube-shaped boxes for the price of one.
a. Write an expression to represent the total volume of two different sized boxes as a sum of cubes if one of the boxes has sides with a length of 1 foot and the other has sides with a length of x feet.
b. Factor the sum of cubes.
c. Calculate the total volume of the two boxes if x = 3 feet.

A cube shaped box of side length equal to m foot has volume 
m*m*m= m^{3}  foot cubed.

a.
Let v1 be the volume of the box with side length 1 ft. 
and v2 be the volume of the box with side length x ft.

V1=1^{3}=1 (foot cubed)
V2=x^{3} (foot cubed)

Vtotal=V1+V2=1+x^{3} feet cubed

b. 

by the "sum of cubes" identity:

x^{3}+1=(x+1)( x^{2} -x+1),

this identity can be derived by dividing x^{3}+1 by (x+1), by long division.

c. Vtotal when x=3 feet is:

          Vtotal=V1+V2=1+3^{3}=1+27=28   (feet cubed)

What is the solution to the system of equations? Use the substitution method.
aleksandrvk [35]
{ y = 3 x - 4
  9x -3y = 14

Subsititute y = 3x-4 :

[ 9 x - 3 ( 3 x-14 )=14]

Refine:

9 x  - 3 ( 3 x - 4 ) = 14

- 2 = 0

is false , therefore the system of equations has no solution

Jana opened a savings account with
taurus [48]

Answer:

f(w) = $100 + $15*w

Step-by-step explanation:

The first $100 she deposited remain always the same, they don't change depending on the weeks. What increases along the weeks are the $15.

In the first week she will deposit $15, so she will have $100 + $15 = $115.

On the second week she will deposit $15 more, so she will have $115 + $15 = $130. Another way of writing this is $100 + $15 + $15 = $100 + $15*2.

On the third week she will have $100 + $15 + $15 + $15 = $100 + $15*3.

Therefore, after w weeks, she will have $100 + $15*w.

The function we are looking for is f(w) = $100 + $15*w
