The polynomial 2x^3 + 9x^2 + 4x - 15 represents the volume in cubic feet of a rectangular holding tank at a fish hatchery. The d

epth of the tank is (x-1) feet. The length is 13 feet. Assume the length is the greatest dimension. Which linear factor represents the 13-ft length? What are the dimensions of the tank?

For part A: you will get 3 linear factors (as the degree of the polynomial is 3). perform the division using (x-1) as your known factor and you will get (x-1)(2x²+11x+15). you can then factor the (2x²+11x+15) to get 2x^3 + 9x^2 + 4x - 15 = (x-1)(2x+5)(x+3) 
for part B: since 2x+5 will provide the greatest value (assuming x>0) of the 3 factors, then 2x+5=13. solve to get x=4. if x is 4, then the dimensions are 3'x13'x7' [just sub 4 into the x's for each factor] 
for part C: as to the graphing calculator, I don't have one. However, if you solve each linear factor for when it is 0, those values will be the x-intercepts. So your graph should cross the x-asix at 1, -5/2, and -3

Kevin is 4 times as old as Daniel and is also 6 years older than Daniel
MAXImum [283]

Answer:

Part a) Daniel's age is 2 years

Part b) Kevin's age is 8 years

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>The question is </em></u>

Part a) How old is Daniel?

Part b) How old is Kevin?

Let

x ----> Kevin's age

y ----> Daniel's age

we know that

x=4y-----> equation A

x=y+6 ----> equation B

Equate equation A and equation B

4y=y+6

solve for y

4y-y=6

3y=6

y=2

therefore

Daniel's age is 2 years

<em>Find the value of x</em>

substitute the value of y in any of the two equations

x=4(2)=8\ years

x=2+6=8\ years

therefore

Kevin's age is 8 years

Will get brainliest!!!!!!!!!!! <br>1 − 3(3 + 6b) = −6(3b + 1) − 2
Arlecino [84]

Answer:

b = infinity

Step-by-step explanation:

1 − 3(3 + 6b) = −6(3b + 1) − 2

1 - 9 - 18b = -18b + 1 -2

1 - 9 = 1 - 2

-8 = -1

a car can travel 476 miles on 14 gallons of gas. Write an equation relating the distance d to the number of gallon g. How many g
ch4aika [34]

miles per gallon (x) = d/g

x = 476/14 = x = 34 miles per gallon

so d/x = g

578/34 = 17 gallons are needed
