<u>Answer</u>

<em>12 in by 12 in</em>

<u>Explanation</u>

The original length = x

This makes the length of the cube made to be = x - (2×2)

                                                                               = (x - 4) in

height of the cube = 2 in

Volume of the cube = (x - 4) × (x - 4) × 2 = 128

                                 = (x² - 8x + 16) × 2 = 128

                                = 2x² - 16x + 32 = 128

                                 = 2x² - 16x + 32- 128=0

                                 = 2x² - 16x - 96 = 0

                                 = x² - 8x - 48 = 0

lets use the factor method to solve the quadrilatic equation above,

x² - 8x - 48 = 0

proctuct = -48

sum = -8

The two factors are; -12 and 8.

(x + 8)(x - 12) = 0

So the value of x are 12 and -8.  Since x is a length, it can not be negative.

∴ x = 12 in.

The original dimensions of the sheet are <em>12 in by 12 in</em>.

Write the equation of the parabola in vertex form
Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

y = -(x - 2)^2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Vertex form is a(x - b)^2 + c   where  a is a constant and (b, c) is the vertex.

Here b = 2 and c = 0

So we have:

y = a( x - 2)^2 + 0

When x = 4 y = -4 so:

-4 = a( 4 - 2)^2

a = -4/2^2 = -1

So the required equation is

y = -(x - 2)^2.
