The surface area S of a cube is equal to the sum of the areas of the 6 square faces that form the cube. We want to paint the cub

e and need to know how many square units of paint to purchase. If each face has side length s, then the formula S = 6s2 can be used to find the surface area of the cube. The length of a side is indicated in the cube below( s = x - 5). The surface area of the cube is 1944 units2. What is the value of x? SHOW and EXPLAIN each of the steps you used to solve.

Answer: x equals 23

Step-by-step explanation: The information available to us is as follows;

Surface area of the cube = 1944

Side length of the cube = x - 5

Note however that the surface area is also derived as S = 6s²

In order to calculate the value of s we would start by substituting for the known values as follows;

S = 6s²

1944 = 6[(x - 5)²

1944 = 6[(x² - 10x + 25)]

By cross multiplication we now have

1944/6 = (x² - 10x + 25)

324 = x² - 10x + 25

Collect like terms and we now have;

x² - 10x -299 = 0

By factorization we now have;

(x - 23) (x + 13) = 0

Therefore, x - 23 = 0 and hence x = 23

OR

x + 13 = 0 and hence x = -13

Knowing that the length of the side is not a negative number, we would choose x = 23.

**(Having been given that x = 23,

s = x - 5

s = 23 - 5

s = 18)**

A map of a town was made using a scale factor of 1 inch =1/2 mile. On the map, Sonja measures that her house is 3 inches away fr
NikAS [45]

Answer:

1.5 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the scale, we can simply multiply the distance that Sonja measured on the map by the actual mile distance that it states on the scale (1/2 or 0.5) to calculate the actual distance between Sonja's house and Sal's house like so...

3 * 0.5 = 1.5 miles

Therefore, we can see now that there is a total actual distance of 1.5 miles between both of their houses, which is represented as 3 inches on the map.

ERROR ANALYSIS Describe and correct the error in
valkas [14]

Answer:

The graph should be stretched rather than become narrower.

Step-by-step explanation:

To figure this out, just create some example points.

At x = 0, your y-value will always be 0. But if you were to plug in the value 1, you would get a y-value of 1 in y=x^2, but a value of 0.5 in y=0.5x^2. If you were to plug in a value of 2, you would get a value of 4 in y=x^2, but a value of 2 in y=0.5x^2.

If you continue this pattern for a few more points, then plot them, you will see that adding a coefficient of 0.5 simply stretches the graph
