Answer:

(D)80 ft³

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume volume of the sandbox is = L × W × H

Where L = Length, W= width, H= Height.

A sandbox has the same shape as a cuboid.

A cuboid is a solid shape with rectangular base and sides. It has six rectangular faces if all sides are closed.

From the question,

LWH = 10ft³ ........................ (1).

If a similar sandbox twice as long, twice as wide and twice as high.

∴ L₍n₎= 2L, W₍n) =2W, H₍n₎ = 2H

Where L₍n₎, W₍n), H₍n₎ is the new Length,  new Width and  new Height of the similar sandbox.

∴L₍n₎ ×W₍n)× H₍n₎  = 2L × 2W × 2H

   and Volume of the new sandbox = L₍n₎ ×W₍n)× H₍n₎

 ⇒Volume of the new sandbox = 2 × 2 ×2 ×L×W×H

     Volume of the new sandbox = 8 × LWH....................(2)

    In equation(1) LWH = 10ft³.

     Substituting the value in equation(2)

    ∴Volume of the new(similar) sandbox= 8 × 10

       =80ft³.

Therefore the capacity of the second sandbox in cubic feet is 80.

The answer is option (D).

A the rent all together is
450 + 60 + 40 + 80 = 630
b the rent alltogether would be
500 + 50 + 40 + 70 = 660
the rent for c would cost

640 including everything
and the rent for d would be
475 + 50 + 40 + 35 = 60

Using ƒ(x) = 2x + 7 and g(x) = x − 3, find ƒ(g(-2)).
Eva8 [605]

Answer:

We conclude that:

f(g(-2)) = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

  • f(x) = 2x + 7
  • g(x) = x-3

To determine

  • f(g(-2)) = ?

In order to determine f(g(-2)), first we need to determine g(-2)

so substituting x = -2 in g(x) = x-3

g(-2) = -2 - 3

        = -5

Thus,

f(g(-2)) = f(-5)

now substitute x = -5 in the function f(x) = 2x+7

f(x) = 2x+7

f(-5) = 2(-5) + 7

f(-5) = -10 + 7

f(-5) = -3

so

f(g(-2)) = f(-5) = -3

Therefore, we conclude that:

f(g(-2)) = -3
