top box. Find the original dimensions of the square piece of cardboard if the volume of this box is 144 cm3.

Let the length and width of the square board be x  cm, when 4 cm are cut of from the corner, the dimensions of the box will be:'
length=(x-8) cm
width=(x-8) cm
height=x cm
thus the volume will be:
4(x-8)(x-8)=144 
4(x^2-16x+64)=144
this can be written into:
x^2-16x^2+64=36
solving the above gives us:
x=2 or x=14
when x=2, the dimensions will be negative. Thus we take x=14 cm, the original dimensions are 14 cm by 14 cm

Let a and b be real numbers satisfying a^3 - 3ab^2 = 47 and b^3 - 3a^2 b = 52. Find a^2 + b^2.
boyakko [2]

Answer: a²+b² = -99/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we are given two equations, this equations will be solved simultaneously to get a² and b²

a³ - 3ab² = 47 ... 1

b³ - 3a² b = 52... 2

From 1, a(a² - 3b²) = 47...3

From 2, b(b² - 3a²) = 52... 4

Adding 3 and 4, we have;

a²+b²-3b²-3a² = 99 (note that a and b will no longer be part of the equations as they have been factored out)

a²+b²-(3b²+3a²) = 99

(a²+b²) -3(b²+a²)= 99

Taking the difference we have

- 2(a²+b²) = 99

a²+b² = -99/2
