The numbers given are length-15 width-10 and height-2
perimeter: 50 feet (15 + 10 + 15 + 10)
area: 150 feet (15 × 10)
volume: 300 feet (15 × 10 × 2)
Sub (x+1) for x
f(x+1)=2(x+1)^2+3
f(x+1)=2(x^2+2x+1)+3
f(x+1)=2x^2+4x+2+3
f(x+1)=2x^2+4x+5
D is answer
If x is squared, that will be biggest by the end because it gets bigger the quickest. x^2 + 4 is always 4 greater than x^2, no matter what the value of x is.
5x+3 is always 3 greater than 5x also.
Besides that, you can rank them based on their slopes (5x < 7x < 8x, etc.)
So,
5x
5x + 3
7x
8x + 3
x^2
x^2 + 4
You can also just say “eventually” means that they’re asking to find the values of each when x is really big. so just choose x=100, and plug that into each one.
So, to check that order:
5(100) = 500
5(100) + 3 = 503
7(100) = 700
8(100) + 3 = 803
(100)^2 = 10,000
(100)^2 + 4 = 10,004
Those are in ascending order, so that must be the right order!
Right triangles must follow the pythagorean theorem, so a^2+b^2=c^2.
Let's find a^2 and b^2 by squaring the first 2 side lengths.
(x^2-1)^2= x^4-2x^2+1
(2x)^2= 4x^2
Then add the two to find c^2
x^4+ 2x^2 +1= c^2
Root both sides
x^2+1=c
Since the side lengths can be plugged into the pythagorean theorem, the side lengths must represent a right triangle.
Hope this helps!
