Answer:

The equation that describe the situation is

b^{3}-9b^{2}-18,900=0

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The volume of a square pyramid is equal to

V=\frac{1}{3}b^{2} h

where

b is the length side of the square

h is the height of the pyramid

we have

V=6,300\ in^{3}

h=(b-9)\ in

substitute the values and solve for b

6,300=\frac{1}{3}b^{2} (b-9)\\ \\18,900=[b^{3}-9b^{2}]\\ \\b^{3}-9b^{2}-18,900=0

Using a graphing calculator

b=30\ in

h=(30-9)=21\ in

When Justin goes to work, he drives at an average speed of 65 miles per hour. It takes about 1 hour and 30 minutes for Justin to
Fofino [41]

Answer:

Justin spends $14.24 on gas to travel to work.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Average speed at which Justin goes to work = 65 miles/hour

Time taken by Justin to arrive at work = 1 hour and 30 minutes = 1.5 hours [As 30 minutes =0.5 hours]

Distance he can travel per gallon of gas = 25 miles.

Cost of per gallon of gas = $3.65

Solution:

We first determine the distance Justin travels to work.

Distance = Speed\times time

Distance = 65\times 1.5 = 97.5\ miles

Using unitary method to find the amount of gas required to cover the distance.

If 25 miles is covered in 1 gallon of gas

Then 1 mile will be covered in = \frac{1}{25} gallons of gas

So, to cover 97.5 miles gas required = \frac{1}{25}\times 97.5=3.9 gallons of gas.

Using unitary method to find the cost of 3.9 gallons of gas.

Cost of 1 gallon of gas = $3.65

So, cost of 3.9 gallons of gas will be = \$3.65\times 3.9=\$14.235\approx\$14.24 (Answer)

Divide 2y2 + 8 by 2y + 4. Which expression represents the quotient and remainder?
weeeeeb [17]

When 2(y^2) + 8 is divided by  2y + 4 is equal to (y - 2) + (16 / (2y + 4)). The expression represents the quotient is the 2y + 4. While the expression represent the remainder is 16 / (2y + 4). The remainder of the given expression can also be solve using the remainder theorem.
