The answer is 5 I just took the test
You were supposed to find the area of the darkened area
Answer:
Solutions are 2, -1 + 0.5 sqrt10 i and -1 - 0.5 sqrt10 i
or 2, -1 + 1.58 i and -1 - 1.58i
(where the last 2 are equal to nearest hundredth).
Step-by-step explanation:
The real solution is x = 2:-
x^3 - 8 = 0
x^3 = 8
x = cube root of 8 = 2
Note that a cubic equation must have a total of 3 roots ( real and complex in this case). We can find the 2 complex roots by using the following identity:-
a^3 - b^3 = (a - b)(a^2 + ab + b^2).
Here a = x and b = 2 so we have
(x - 2)(x^2 + 2x + 4) = 0
To find the complex roots we solve x^2 + 2x + 4 = 0:-
Using the quadratic formula x = [-2 +/- sqrt(2^2 - 4*1*4)] / 2
= -1 +/- (sqrt( -10)) / 2
= -1 + 0.5 sqrt10 i and -1 - 0.5 sqrt10 i
Area of rectangular prism is given by:
A=2(wl+hl+lw)
where w=width h=height, l=length
checking for given options
1. 8 ft, by 4ft by 3ft
Area = 136 square feet
5. 3 feet by 5 feet by 7 feet
Area =142 square feet
so our first and last option matches the requirement of area less than 160 square feet.
2500/10=250
250 represents how much the elephant can eat in one day. Since they want to know how much the elephant can eat in 1000 days you would multiply 250 and 1000 which leaves you with 250,000 pounds of food.
The elephant can eat 250,000 pounds of food in 10 days. :)
