The volume of a pyramid is 1/3 the volume of the cube mentioned in the question since it fits exactly inside it. So multiply 49*3 = 147 cubic feet...

Hope this helped... :)

Answer:

B. $147\text{ ft}^3$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that volume of a pyramid that fits exactly inside a cube is 49 cubic feet. We are asked to find the volume of the cube.

We will use volume of pyramid and cube formula to solve our given problem.

$\text{Volume of cube}=a^3$ , where a represents measure of each side of cube.

$\text{Volume of pyramid}=\frac{lwh}{3}$ , where,

l = Length of pyramid,

w = Width of pyramid,

h = Height of pyramid.

Since pyramid fits inside the cube, so its length, width and height will be equal to each edge of cube.

$49\text{ ft}^3=\frac{a*a*a}{3}$

$49\text{ ft}^3=\frac{a^3}{3}$

Multiplying both sides of our equation by 3, we will get:

$3*49\text{ ft}^3=\frac{a^3}{3}*3$

$147\text{ ft}^3=a^3$

Therefore, the volume of cube is $147\text{ ft}^3$ and option B is the correct choice.

Answer:

D. 75x+160<760

Step-by-step explanation:

The reason is 75 has to be a variable because it changes with time. The fee is a fixed rate that will not change no matter the time. All of these values must be less than 760 meaning the variable and constant must be less than (<) 760

which statements are true about the graph of the function f(x) = 6x – 4 x2? check all that apply. the vertex form of the functio

Brut [27]

Answer:

The vertex of the function is the point $(-3,-13)$

The graph increase over the interval--------> (-3,∞)

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

$f(x)=6x-4+x^{2}$

1) Convert to vertex form

Group terms that contain the same variable, and move the constant to the opposite side of the equation

$f(x)+4=x^{2}+6x$

Complete the square. Remember to balance the equation by adding the same constants to each side

$f(x)+4+9=x^{2}+6x+9$

$f(x)+13=x^{2}+6x+9$

Rewrite as perfect squares

$f(x)+13=(x+3)^{2}$

$f(x)=(x+3)^{2}-13$ -----> function in vertex form

2) Find the vertex

The vertex of the function is the point $(-3,-13)$

3) Find the axis of symmetry

we know that

In a vertical parabola, the axis of symmetry is equal to the x-coordinate of the vertex

The x-coordinate of the vertex in this problem is equal to $x=-3$

therefore

the equation of the axis of symmetry is $x=-3$

4) Find the increase-decrease intervals

The graph increase over the interval--------> (-3,∞)

The graph decrease over the interval--------> (-∞,-3)

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

5) Find the x-intercepts of the function

we know that

the x-intercepts are the values of x when the value of the function is equal to zero

In this problem the x-intercepts are

$(-6.61,0)$ and $(0.61,0)$

The function cross the x-axis twice

see the attached figure

HELP? LOTS OF POINTS

4^2 + 7^2 = c^2

This is because we know that the hypotenuse (c) is always diagonal to the right triangle, so the legs are 4 and 2 (a and b). There is your equation!

Good luck!
