given f(x) in factored form, equate to zero for x-intercepts
(x - 8)(x - 4) = 0, hence
x = 4, x = 8 ← x- intercepts
The vertex lies on the axis of symmetry which is situated at the midpoint of the x- intercepts
x- coordinate of vertex = = 6
f(6) = (6 - 8 )(6 - 4 ) = -2 × 2 = - 4 ← y-coordinate
vertex = (6, - 4 ) → B
Given:
Volume of cuboid container = 2 litres
The container has a square base.
Its height is double the length of each edge on its base.
To find:
The height of the container.
Solution:
We know that,
1 litre = 1000 cubic cm
2 litre = 2000 cubic cm
Let x be the length of each edge on its base. Then the height of the container is:
The volume of a cuboid is:
Where, l is length, w is width and h is height.
Putting , we get
Divide both sides by 2.
Taking cube root on both sides.
Now, the height of the container is:
Therefore, the height of the container is 20 cm.
