A box has a volume of 192 cubic inches, a length that is twice as long as its width, and a height that is 2 inches greater than

the width. What are the dimensions of this box? Give your answer in the form l,w,h as comma separated values. For example if the box has a length of 1, a width of 2, and a height of 3, you would submit the answer 1,2,3.

Answer:

Length = 8 inches

Width = 4 inches

Height = 6 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of the box = 192 cubic inches

Volume of a box = length × width × height

Let

Width = x

Length = 2x

Height = x + 2

Volume of a box = length × width × height

192 = 2x * x * (x + 2)

192 = 2x^2 (x + 2)

192 = 2x^3 + 4x^2

Divide through by 2

96 = x^3 + 2x^2

Subtract 96 from both sides

x ^3 + 2x^2 - 96 = 0

Factorise

(x - 4) (x^2 + 6x + 24) = 0

x^2 + 6x + 24 has no real x-value

So,

Divide both sides by (x^2 + 6x + 24).

0 ÷ (x^2 + 6x + 24) = 0

So,

(x - 4) = 0

x = 4

Width = x = 4 inches

Length = 2x

= 2(4)

= 8 inches

Height = x + 2

= 4 + 2

= 6 inches

Check:

Volume of a box = length × width × height

= (8 * 4 * 6) inches

= 192 inches

Which graph best represents the function f(x)=2x ?
yan [13]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

The best - well, only way- is to check a few points.

Namely -1 (unless your eyesight is really poor!), 0, 1, 2, and 3.

f(x) = 2^x\\f(-1) = 2^-^1 = \frac12\\f(0) =2^0 =1\\f(1)= 2^1=2\\f(2)=2^2=4\\f(3)=2^3= 8

Now you can mark all these points in each graph (well, you could if they were on paper and not on a screen) and see which one of the lines passes through all of them. Spoiler alert, it's the B graph.

A represents 2(2^x) = 2^{x+1}, B is the one you want, C is \frac{2^x}2 = 2^{x-1} and D looks like 4^x = 2^2^x
