Answer:

15x^2 - 12x^3

Step-by-step explanation:

A rectangular block has 3 parts that play into its volume.  length, width and height.  The question gives us length and width in the form of x and 3x, so height is what's missing.

It gives us a bit more information saying the sum of its edges is 20.  We also have to ask how many lengths, widths and heights are there.  That may be a bit hard to understand, but  is you are looking at a block I could ask how many edges are vertical, just going up and down.  These would be the heights.  There are 4 total, and this goes the same for length and width, so 4*length + 4*width and 4*height = 20.  

Taking that and plugging in x for length and 3x for width (or you could do it the other way around, it doesn't matter, you get:

4*x + 4*3x + 4*height = 20

4x + 12x + 4h = 20

16x + 4h = 20

4h = 20 - 16x

h = 5 - 4x

Now we have h in terms of x, which lets us easily find the volume just knowing x.  To find the volume of a rectangular block you just multiply the length, width and height.

x*3x*(5-4x)

3x^2(5-4x)

15x^2 - 12x^3

Question doesn't give a specific value for x at all so you should be done there.  Any number you plug in for x should get you the right answer

Ashley posts 17 status updates on her Facebook wall each day . Roberto posts 21 status updates on his Facebook wall each day .
shutvik [7]

Let x be the number of days.  

If Ashley posts 17 status updates each day, then after x days Ashley posts 17x status updates.

If Roberto posts 21 status updates each day, then after x days Roberto posts 21x status updates.

Part A. The combined number of posts for Ashley and Roberto after x days is:

17x+21x.

Part B. The difference between number of posts for Ashley and Roberto after x days is:

21x-17x.

An experimenter is randomly sampling 4 objects in order from among 43 objects. What is the total number of samples in the sample
Ivenika [448]

Answer:

10.75

Step-by-step explanation:

First you see how many times 4 can go into 4 in the tens place which is 1 .You multiply 4 times 1and you get 4 .Then you minus 4 from 4 and get

Then you bring down the 3 and see how many times 4 can go into 3 which is 0 .So you put a decimal point and bring down a 0.

See how many times 4 can go into 30,which will be 7 times.After , you multiply 7 times 4 and you get 28.Subtract 29 from 30 and you get 20.You bring down the 0 .

See how many times 4 can go into 20 which is 5.Mutiply 5 times 4 and get 20 then subtract 20 from 20.

Get a final quotient of 10.75.

Which of the following is a solution of x2-2x=-8​
cupoosta [38]
The last one
You’re completing the square here so you have to find (1/2b)^2. In this case it’s 1. So you have to add 1 to both sides. Then you have to solve for it
It becomes
(x-1)^2 = -7
Then you have to find the square root
(x-1) = √-7
x-1 = √7 √-1
x-1= ± i √7
x= 1 ±i √7
That’s your answer and d is the only one that matches with it
