Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume  = 198 ft

length * width * height = 198

(x - 1) * (x + 4) * 3 = 198

(x - 1) * (x + 4)  = 198/3

(x - 1) * (x + 4) = 66

x*x + x*4 -1*x - 1*4 = 66   {Use FOIL method to multiply}

x² + 4x - x - 4 = 66

x² + 3x - 4 =66

x² + 3x - 4 - 66 = 0

x² + 3x - 70 = 0

Now factorize.

x² + 10x - 7x - 7*10 = 0

x(x +10) - 7(x + 10 ) = 0

(x + 10)(x - 7) = 0

x - 7 = 0 {x + 10 is ignored because measurement cannot be in negative}

x = 7

length = x - 1 = 7 - 1 = 6ft

Width = x + 4 = 7 + 4 = 11 ft

Describe how to transform (5 square root x^7)^3
Serga [27]
(5 * sqrt(x^7))^3

Recall sqrt(x^2)=x

So we get (5*x^6 )^3

5*3 is 25, 6*3 is 18 (and exponent to an exponent multiplies)

Therefore the answer is 25x^18

Which ordered pair would form a proportional relationship with the point graphed below? (60,-20)
valentina_108 [34]

Given:

The graphed point is (60,-20).

To find:

The ordered pair that would form a proportional relationship with the given point.

Solution:

If y is proportional to x, then

y\propto x

y=kx

\dfrac{y}{x}=k

Where, k is the constant of proportionality.

For the given point,

k=\dfrac{-20}{60}

k=\dfrac{-1}{3}

For option (A),

k=\dfrac{30}{-10}

k=-3\neq \dfrac{-1}{3}

For option (B),

k=\dfrac{-15}{30}

k=-\dfrac{1}{2}\neq \dfrac{-1}{3}

For option (C),

k=\dfrac{10}{-30}

k=\dfrac{-1}{3}.

The point (-30,10) gives the same value of the constant of proportionality. So, the point (-30,10) forms a proportional relationship with the given point.

Therefore, the correct option is C.
