we know that
the volume of a rectangular prism is equal to
where
L is the length of the box
W is the width of the box
H is is the height of the box
in this problem we have
<u>Find the length of the box</u>
Using a graph tool-------> we will determine the roots of the equation of volume
see the attached figure
the roots are
so
therefore
<u>the answer is</u>
the length of the box is equal to
Answer:
n = , n =
Step-by-step explanation:
6n² - 5n - 7 = - 8 ( add 8 to both sides )
6n² - 5n + 1 = 0 ← in standard form
Consider the product of the factors of the coefficient of the n² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the n- term
product = 6 × 1 = 6 and sum = - 5
The factors are - 3 and - 2
Use these factors to split the n- term
6n² - 3n - 2n + 1 = 0 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )
3n(2n - 1) - 1(2n - 1) = 0 ← factor out (2n - 1) from each term
(2n - 1)(3n - 1) = 0 ← in factored form
Equate each factor to zero and solve for n
3n - 1 = 0 ⇒ 3n = 1 ⇒ n =
2n - 1 = 0 ⇒ 2n = 1 ⇒ n =
