Volume is legnth times width times height so 3 dimentions
thee teacher probabl y wants you to factor the trinomial into 3 factors so
x^3+5x^2-24x
first factor out x
x(x^2+5x-24)
then factor
find what 2 numbers multiply to get -24 and add to get 5
the numbers are -3 and 8
x^2+5x-24 factors to
(x-3)(x+8)
the factored form is
(x)(x-3)(x+8)=volume
no dimention can be ≤0 so therefor
x≤0

x-3≤0
add 3
x≤3

x+8≤0
subtract 8
x≤-8

so the values for x is x<3

so if you had the volume, let's say 42 then
x^3+5x^2-24x=42
subtract 42 from both sides
x^3+5x^2-24x-42=0
factor and set each to zero to find the dimentions

A soccer ball is kicked from 3 feet above the ground. the height,h, in feet of the ball after t seconds is given by the function

dexar [7]

Here's our equation.

$h=-16t+64t+3$

We want to find out when it returns to ground level (h = 0)

To find this out, we can plug in 0 and solve for t.

$0 = -16t+64t+3 \\ 16t-64t-3=0 \\ use\ the\ quadratic\ formula\ \frac{-b\±\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a} \\ \frac{-(-64)\±\sqrt{(-64)^2-4(16)(-3)}}{2*16} = \frac{64\±\sqrt{4096+192}}{32}$

$= \frac{64\±\sqrt{4288}}{32} = \frac{64\±8\sqrt{67}}{32} = \frac{8\±\sqrt{67}}{4} = \boxed{\frac{8+\sqrt{67}}{4}\ or\ 2-\frac{\sqrt{67}}{4}}$

So the ball will return to the ground at the positive value of $\boxed{\frac{8+\sqrt{67}}{4}}$ seconds.

What about the vertex? Simple! Since all parabolas are symmetrical, we can just take the average between our two answers from above to find t at the vertex and then plug it in to find h!

$\frac{1}2(\frac{8+\sqrt{67}}{4}+2-\frac{\sqrt{67}}{4}) = \frac{1}2(2+\frac{\sqrt{67}}{4}+2-\frac{\sqrt{67}}{4}) = \frac{1}2(4) = 2$

$h=-16t^2+64t+3 \\ h=-16(2)^2+64(2)+3 \\ \boxed{h=67}$

Patsy found a top on the clearance rack marked 60% off the original price. If the original price is $48, how much will Patsy sav

Arlecino [84]

If the top is $48 and it is 60% off you will multiply the cost by the decimal form of the sale percentage: 48*0.60= $28.80. This is the amount she will save and I think is the answer you are looking for.

If there is a follow up question asking for the final cost of the top you would find that by subtracting the amount saved from the original cost: 48.00-28.80=$19.20.

The attendance at a baseball game was 400 people. Student tickets cost $2 and adult tickets cost $3. Total sales were $1050. How

S_A_V [24]

We know the total tickets sold = 400. Let x be the number of adult tickets sold. That means 400 - x is the number of student tickets. The revenue from adult tickets will be $3 * x, which we can call 3x. The revenue from student ticks will be $2 * (400 - x), or 800 - 2x. The total revenue is $1050, so that means: 3x + (800 - 2x) = 1050. Removing the parentheses: 3x + 800 - 2x = 1050 Subtracting 800 from both sides: 3x - 2x = 250 Simplifying the left side: x = 250, which is the number of adult tickets. 400-x = student tickets = 400-250 = 150. ALWAYS check! In this case, check the revenue: 3x = 3(250) = 750 2(150) = 300 750 + 300 = 1050. Check!
