A box has a volume given by the trinomial x^3 + 5x^2 -24x What are the possible dimensions of the box?

Mathematics

Damm [24]3 years ago
6 0
Since the volume of a box is just three factors, each being the sides multiplied together, we basically need to factor these into three numbers that would multiply back out and get x^3 + 5x^2 -24x. Factor out an x and get x(x^2+5x-24), then factor normally and get x(x+8)(x-3). (8 and -3 multiply into -24, and add into 5) Your three dimensions are x, x+8, and x-3.

All you need to do here is know where and how to plug in the numbers. In each equation, you'll have an initial fee, and an hourly fee, so your equation will be
y = i + hx, where i = the initial fee, and h = the hourly fee

So, after plugging them in, here's what you get:
Doors Galore: y = 40 + 50x

A wooden board 100 centimeters long is cut into two pieces. One piece is 16 centimeters longer than the other. What are the leng
Bezzdna [24]

x = the length of one piece

y = the length of the other piece


the total length is 100 cm this means 


x + y = 100


one piece is 16 inches longer than the other


first we need to convert inches to cm: 


1 in = 2.54 cm

16 in = 2.54*16 = 40.64


now we can write


x = y + 40.64


by solving the system of equations


x + y = 100

x = y + 40.64


we find


x = 70.32 cm


y = 29.68 cm


the lengths of the two pieces are 70.32 cm and 29.68 cm.

Approximately how many degrees are in the measure of an interior angle of a regular seven sided polygon
kramer
The interior angle of a regular polygon is equal to each other since all sides of the polygon are congruent. The formula that expresses the relation of the sides of the polygon and the measurement of the interior angle is (n2)*180/n where n is 7. Each interior angle then measures 128.6 degrees.
