Part I
We have the size of the sheet of cardboard and we'll use the variable "x" to represent the length of the cuts. For any given cut, the available distance is reduced by twice the length of the cut. So we can create the following equations for length, width, and height.
width: w = 12 - 2x
length: l = 18 - 2x
height: h = x
Part II
v = l * w * h
v = (18 - 2x)(12 - 2x)x
v = (216 - 36x - 24x + 4x^2)x
v = (216 - 60x + 4x^2)x
v = 216x - 60x^2 + 4x^3
v = 4x^3 - 60x^2 + 216x
Part III
The length of the cut has to be greater than 0 and less than half the length of the smallest dimension of the cardboard (after all, there has to be something left over after cutting out the corners). So 0 < x < 6
Let's try to figure out an x that gives a volume of 224 in^3. Since this is high school math, it's unlikely that you've been taught how to handle cubic equations, so let's instead look at integer values of x. If we use a value of 1, we get a volume of:
v = 4x^3 - 60x^2 + 216x
v = 4*1^3 - 60*1^2 + 216*1
v = 4*1 - 60*1 + 216
v = 4 - 60 + 216
v = 160
Too small, so let's try 2.
v = 4x^3 - 60x^2 + 216x
v = 4*2^3 - 60*2^2 + 216*2
v = 4*8 - 60*4 + 216*2
v = 32 - 240 + 432
v = 224
And that's the desired volume.
So let's choose a value of x=2.
Reason?
It meets the inequality of 0 < x < 6 and it also gives the desired volume of 224 cubic inches.
Answer: SECOND OPTION.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the following point identified as "A":

You can identify that the x-coordinate of the point is:

And its y-coordinate is:

According to the exercise, this point is translated five units right and three units down. This means that, in order to find the new coordinates, you need to add 5 to the original x-coordinate and subtract 3 from the original y-coordinate.
Therefore, you can conclude that the rule that best describe the translation of the point
is the following:
→
Then, the point translated is:
→

Step-by-step explanation:
I am not entirely sure what you mean however if you sign up for this website and go to whichever grade level you need you can practice all you want
(2.0×10^-4)×(3.1×10^-20)
=(2.0×3.1)×(10^4×10^-20)
=6.2×10^(-4+(-20))
=6.2×10^-24. Hope it help!
The answer is -4.5
To solve these types of problems it's best to work backwards.
-2 - 16 = -18
4 x (n) = -18
n = -18/4
n = -4.5
