Answer:

  • length: 32 in
  • width: 21 in

Step-by-step explanation:

If the width of the original piece of sheet metal is x, then the length is 2x-10. Subtracting a 5" square from each corner makes the bottom of the box have dimensions (x-10) and (2x-20). The volume of the box is then ...

  5(x -10)(2x -20) = 1210 . . . . . . volume is the product of the dimensions

  10(x -10)² = 1210 = 10(11²) . . . . factor the equation

  (x -10)² = 11² . . . . . . . . divide by 10

  x = 11 + 10 = 21 . . . . . .take the square root, add 10

The length and width of the original piece of sheet metal were 32 inches and 21 inches, respectively.

Determine the number of real solutions of -2x2 + 5x - 3 = 0.
andrew11 [14]

-2x^2 + 5x -3 =0

Find the discriminate:

In the given formula a = -2, b = 5 and c = -3

The discriminate is found using the formula b^2 - 4(ac)

Replace the letters with their values:

5^2 - 4(-2*-3)

25 - 4*6

25-24 = 1

When the discriminate is greater than or equal to 0, there are two real solutions.

The answer is c) 2

Simplify this expression using the distributive property
jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

When you use the distributive property, you multiply the two numbers together, just like simplifying any product. You will also see another example where the expression in parentheses is subtraction, rather than addition. You will need to be careful to change the sign of your product.
