Answer:

% increase = $\frac{\text{ Increased number -Original number }}{\text{Original number}} \times 100\%$

% decrease = $\frac{\text{ Original number - Decreased number }}{\text{Original number}} \times 100\%$

Step-by-step explanation:

Percentage Increase:

Let there be an original number. If it increased to a certain value we can calculate the percentage increase value with the help of following formula:

% increase = $\frac{\text{ Increased number -Original number }}{\text{Original number}} \times 100\%$

Percentage Decrease:

Let there be an original number. If it decreases to a certain value we can calculate the percentage decrease with the help of following formula:

% decrease = $\frac{\text{ Original number - Decreased number }}{\text{Original number}} \times 100\%$

Adam is building a computer desk with a separate compartment for the computer. The compartment for the computer is a rectangular

Alik [6]

Answer:

The width of the computer compartment is 9 inches

The length of the computer compartment is 33 inches

The height of the computer compartment is 27 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The given data on the rectangular prism compartment are;

The volume of the rectangular prism, V = 8019 cubic inches

The length of the compartment, l = 24 inches + The width, w

The height of the compartment, h = 18 inches + The width, w

Therefore, we have;

l = 24 + w

h = 18 + w

V = l × h × w

∴ V = (24 + w) × (18 + w) × w = w³ + 42·w² + 432·w = 8019

w³ + 42·w² + 432·w - 8019 = 0

By graphing the above function with MS Excel, we have one of the solution is w = 9

∴ (w - 9) is a factor of w³ + 42·w² + 432·w - 8019 = 0

Dividing, we get;

w² + 51·w + 891

w³ + 42·w² + 432·w - 8019 = 0

w³ - 9·w²

51·w² - 459·w

891·w

891·w + 8019

Therefore,

w³ + 42·w² + 432·w - 8019 = 0

w³ + 42·w² + 432·w - 8019 = (x - 9)·(w² + 51·w + 891) = 0

The determinant of the factor, w² + 51·w + 891 = 51² - 4×1×891 = -963, therefore, the it has complex roots

Therefore, the real solution of (x - 9)·(w² + 51·w + 891) = 0 is w = 9

The width of the computer compartment, w = 9 inches

The length of the computer compartment, l = 24 inches + 9 inches = 33 inches

The height of the computer compartment, h = 18 inches + 9 inches = 27 inches.
