Answer:

2.16

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey so we know that product means multiplication and “less than” means subtraction

5 less than=5-

Product of 6 and a number=6*x

6x-5=8

(Since it says 5 less than a product of 6 and a number, we know that we have to subtract 5 from 6x, NOt the other way around)

Add 5 on both sides:

6x=13

Divide by 6

X=2.16

Hope this helps!

What is an equivalent function to f(x)=(x-2)^3

atroni [7]

Answer:

x^3-6x^2-4x-8

Step-by-step explanation:

First you would multiply (x-2) by itself (x-2) to get

x^2-2x-2x+4

then you would combine like terms

x^2-4x+4

Then you would multiply that by x-2

(x^2-4x+4)(x-2)

x^3-2x^2-4x^2-8x+4x-8

then you combine like terms

x^3-6x^2-4x-8

A sphere has a volume of V=900 in cubed. What is the surface area?

ycow [4]

First, we must solve for the radius of the sphere:
V= $\frac{4}{3}$ $\pi$ $r^{3}$
r=(3 $\frac{V}{4 \pi }$ ) $^{ \frac{1}{3} }$
r=(3* $\frac{900}{4 \pi }$ ) $^{ \frac{1}{3} }$
r≈5.99

Second, we must solve for surface area:
A=4 $\pi$ $r^{2}$
A=4* $\pi$ * $5.99^{2}$
A≈450.88 $in^{2}$
