A cube with 2 inch sides is placed on a cube with 3 inch sides. Then a cube with 1 inch sides is placed on the 2 inch cube. What

is the surface area of the three cube tower?

Answer:

let's try the "Divide and Conquer" method, that is we break down the problem into pieces and solve each piece until we arrive at the answer.

the formula for the surface area of the cube is:

SA = 6s^2; s is the length of one side of the cube

for the 3-inch cube

SA = 6(3^2)

SA = 6(9)

SA = 54 in^2

note however, that the actual surface area is less the area occupied by the 2-inch cube place on the 3-inch cube, which is

A = s^2; since this is a square

A = 2^2

A = 4 in^2

the actual SA (aSA) therefore of the 3-inch cube is

aSA = 54 - 4 = 50 in^2

for the 2-inch cube

SA = 6s^2

SA = 6(2^2)

SA = 6(4)

SA = 24 in^2

to solve for the actual SA of the 2-inch cube, we subtract the area which is in contact with the 3-inch cube and the 1-inch cube

aSA = 24 - 2^2 - 1^2

aSA = 24 - 4 - 1

aSA = 19 in^2

for the 1-inch cube

SA = 6s^2

SA = 6(1^2)

SA = 6 in^2

the actual surface area is less the area in contact with the 2-inch cube

aSA = 6 - 1^2

aSA = 5 in^2

the surface area of the three cube tower will just be the sum of the aSA of the three cubes

SA = 50 + 19 + 5

SA = 74 in^2   ans

Write an equation in point slope form for the line that passes through (-5,6) and (-3,-9).
Finger [1]

\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{-5}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{6})\qquad
(\stackrel{x_2}{-3}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{-9})
\\\\\\
slope = m\implies
\cfrac{\stackrel{rise}{ y_2- y_1}}{\stackrel{run}{ x_2- x_1}}\implies \cfrac{-9-6}{-3-(-5)}\implies \cfrac{-9-6}{-3+5}\implies -\cfrac{15}{2}


\bf \begin{array}{|c|ll}
\cline{1-1}
\textit{point-slope form}\\
\cline{1-1}
\\
y-y_1=m(x-x_1)
\\\\
\cline{1-1}
\end{array}\implies y-6=-\cfrac{15}{2}[x-(-5)]\implies y-6=-\cfrac{15}{2}(x+5)
\\\\\\
y-6=-\cfrac{15}{2}x-\cfrac{75}{2}\implies y=-\cfrac{15}{2}x-\cfrac{75}{2}-6\implies y=-\cfrac{15}{2}x-\cfrac{87}{2}

Select all of the following tables which represent y as a function of x.x 5 10 11y 3 9 15x 5 10 11y 3 9 9x 5 10 10y 3 9 15
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

Table 1 and 2 represent a function

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

<em>Table 1</em>

x 5 10 11

y 3 9 15

<em></em>

<em>Table 2</em>

x 5 10 11

y 3 9 9

<em>Table 3</em>

x 5 10 10

y 3 9 15

Required

Determine which of the tables represent that y is a function of x

For a relation to be a function; the x values must be unique.

In other words, each x value must not be repeated;

Having said that;

Analyzing Table 1

<em>Table 1</em>

x 5 10 11

y 3 9 15

<em></em>

Note that the x rows are unique as no value were repeated;

Hence, Table 1 is a function

<em>Table 2</em>

x 5 10 11

y 3 9 9

Note that the x rows are unique as no value were repeated;

Hence, Table 2 is a function

<em>Table 3</em>

x 5 10 10

y 3 9 15

Note that the x rows are not unique because 10 was repeated twice;

Hence, Table 3 is not a function

HURRY PLEASE!<br> (g+2)^5
KengaRu [80]

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to use the binomial theorem/Pascal's triangle here.

(a+b)^5 = (5 choose 0)a^5 + (5 choose 1)a^4*b + (5 choose 2)a^3*b^2 + (5 choose 3)a^2*b^3 + (5 choose 4)a*b^4 + (5 choose 5)b^5.

5 choose 0 = 1

5 choose 1 = 5

5 choose 2 = 10

5 choose 3 = 10

5 choose 4 = 5

5 choose 5 = 1

And 1, 5, 10, 10, 5, 1, is the (5+1) = 6th row of pascal's triangle.

Therefore we get

g^5 + 5g^4*2 + 10g^3*2^2 + 10g^2*2^3 + 5g*2^4 + 2^5

which is

g^4 + 10g^4 + 40g^3 + 80g^2 + 80g + 32

Or, you could do the slow way, by just doing (g+2)(g+2)(g+2)(g+2)(g+2)
