Answer:

Few things are missing, they are volume of the box is 180 feet cube. Length is 9 feet greater than its height, and weight is 4 feet less than its height.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given, the volume of the box, V = 180 feet cube

Let the height of the box, h = x feet

Therefore, length is, l = ( 9+x ) feet

And width is, b = ( x-4) feet

so volume of the box is

V = l x b x h

$ 180= (x+9) \times (x-4) \times (x)$

$ x^3 +5x^2-36x -180 =0$

Factorizing we get

(x+5)(x-6)(x+6)=0

Therefore,

x = -5, -6, 6

Now since the height of the box cannot be negative, so taking the positive value of x, we get

Height of the box, h = x = 6 feet

Length , l = ( 9+x ) = 9+6 = 15 feet

Width , b = ( x-4) = 6-4 = 2 feet

Work out the formula for the nth term of the<br>quadratic sequence:<br>5, 11, 19, 29​
Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

n squared + 3n + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

5,11,19,29

Firstly look at the difference between each number. The first difference is 6 then 8 then 10 etc. After that you look at your created sequence - 6,8,10 etc. The difference is 2 each time. Then applying rules, you have to do the constant difference divided by 2 to get a coefficient of n squared. So in this case it's n squared because 2/2 = 1 so you don't have to place a 1 in front of the n squared. After you create a sequence from the n squared. That would be 1,4,9 etc. Then you need to see how to get from the sequence: 1,4,9 etc to your original sequence: 5,11,19 etc. So if you calculate it you will get 4,7,10 because firstly 5-1 = 4 then 11-4 = 7 etc. The sequence 4,7,10 is a linear sequence so the constant difference is 3 each time. So to get a nth term of a linear sequence you will start off as 3n then you will substitute 1 then 2 then 3 into the 3n. Therefore that would be 3,6 etc. So if you take the first substituted term, that would be 3 as said before then you will have to see how to get from the 3 to 4 so that is just adding 1. So the nth term of this linear sequence is 3n + 1. Check if it works at the end. So the overall nth term of the quadratic sequence is n squared as said before + 3n + 1.

What is the average of the four smallest of integers ?
Elanso [62]
This question is easier than it seems. If there are 9 consecutive integers with the mean being 16, then 16 must be the median. So just add four on top and four below 16 to give you your range of 9 values, 12-20. 12+13+14+15+16+17+18+19+20=144, 144/9=16. So the mean of the first four numbers is (12+13+14+15)/4= 13.5. If you check, 13.5 is also the median of these four numbers.
