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

marysya [2.9K]
'Pi' ( π ) is the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter.

The exact value of 'pi' can't be completely written with numbers, so whenever
we use 'pi', we always use an approximation.

Which of the following graphs represents the solution set for 7(4x – 1 ) + 6x &gt; –279? PLEASE HELP
Luda [366]
First, solve the inequality:
7(4x - 1 ) + 6x \ \textgreater \  -279\\&#10;28x-7+6x\ \textgreater \ -279\\&#10;34x\ \textgreater \ -272\\&#10;x\ \textgreater \ -8
Since x is <u>greater than</u> -8, you have the arrow point up the graph towards the positive side starting at -8.
Since it's greater than but not equal to -8, the circle is open.

Thus your graph is D.

Find the eighth term of the
Darya [45]

Answer:

a(8) = -0.0027

Step-by-step explanation:

The most general formula for a geometric sequence is a(n) = a(1)*r^(n-1), where a(1) is the first term and r is the common ratio.

Here, the formula becomes a(n) = 6*(-1/3)^(n-1).

Substitute 8 for n to find the eighth term:

a(8) = 6*(-1/3)^(8-1), or a(8) = 6(-1/3)^7, or a(8) = -0.0027
