Answer:

3x^2 -5x +10

Step-by-step explanation:

(4x² – 2x + 8) - (x² + 3x - 2)

Distribute the negative sign

(4x² – 2x + 8) - x² - 3x + 2

I like to line them up vertically

4x² – 2x + 8

-x² - 3x + 2

Answer:

3x² – 5x + 10

Step-by-step explanation:

(4x² – 2x + 8) - (x² + 3x - 2) =

Drop the first set of parentheses because it is unnecessary.

= 4x² – 2x + 8 - (x² + 3x - 2)

To get rid of the second set of parentheses, change every sign inside.

= 4x² – 2x + 8 - x² - 3x + 2

Now, combine like terms.

= 3x² – 5x + 10

Answer:

Volume = ( About ) 2406.165 cm^3

Step-by-step explanation:

If you consider a cube or a rectangular prism, you could identify it's volume through the multiplication of it's Base by height. A pyramid has 1 / 3rd that volume, so in order to take a volume of the figure to the left, we would multiply Base * height and take 1 / 3rd of that;

$Square Pyramid,\\Base ( Square ) = a^2, a = length = 17.2 cm\\Height = 24.4 cm\\\\Volume = 1 / 3 ( Base ) ( Height ),\\Volume = 1 / 3 ( ( 17.2 )^2 )( 24.4 ),\\Volume = 1 / 3( 295.84 )( 24.4 ),\\\\Volume = 98.6133333333( 24.4 ),\\Volume = 2406.16533333,\\\\Volume = ( About ) 2406.165$
