Answer:

width = (x-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of the prisms is defined in the problem as

Volume = x^3 + 9x^2 + 6x − 16

Volume  = width*height* length

And we know that,

length = (x+2)

height = (x+8)

We can find the roots of the equation, which happen to be

x = -8

x = -2

x = 1

(See image below)

This means that the volume can be represented as

Volume = x^3 + 9x^2 + 6x − 16 = (x+8)(x+2)*(x-1)

Therefore,

The width = (x-1)

2) A pharmacist has 60 ml of an 8% alcohol solution. How much water should be evaporated so that the solution that remains is 10
Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

let water evaporated be x ml

...

acid 8% ------60 ml

...

final quantity = 10% ----(60-x)

..

60*8 = 10(60-x)

480=600-10x

10x=600-480

10x= 120

/10

x=12 ml should be evaporated.

To solve the system of equations below, Pedro isolated the variable y in the first equation and then substituted it into the sec
Reil [10]

Answer:

Resulting equation will be 5x²=36.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equations are 5y = 10x-----(1)

and x²+y²=36------(2)

Now we substitute the value of y from equation (1) into equation (2).

5y = 10x ⇒ y = 2x

Then equation (2) will be x²+(2x)²=36

x²+4x²=36 ⇒ 5x² = 36

So the equation after substitution of the value of y from equation 1 will be 5x² = 36.

Answer:  6\sqrt{3}

======================================================

Explanation:

Method 1

We can use the pythagorean theorem to find x.

a^2+b^2 = c^2\\\\6^2+x^2 = 12^2\\\\36+x^2 = 144\\\\x^2 = 144-36\\\\x^2 = 108\\\\x = \sqrt{108}\\\\x = \sqrt{36*3}\\\\x = \sqrt{36}*\sqrt{3}\\\\x = 6\sqrt{3}\\\\

-----------------------------------

Method 2

Use the sine ratio to find x. You'll need a reference sheet or the unit circle, or simply memorize that sin(60) = sqrt(3)/2

\sin(\text{angle}) = \frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{hypotenuse}}\\\\\sin(60^{\circ}) = \frac{x}{12}\\\\\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} = \frac{x}{12}\\\\x = 12*\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\\\\x = 6\sqrt{3}\\\\

-----------------------------------

Method 3

Similar to the previous method, but we'll use tangent this time.

Use a reference sheet, unit circle, or memorize that tan(60) = sqrt(3)

\tan(\text{angle}) = \frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{adjacent}}\\\\\tan(60^{\circ}) = \frac{x}{6}\\\\\sqrt{3} = \frac{x}{6}\\\\x = 6\sqrt{3}\\\\

-----------------------------------

Method 4

This is a 30-60-90 triangle. In other words, the angles are 30 degrees, 60 degrees, and 90 degrees.

Because of this special type of triangle, we know that the long leg is exactly sqrt(3) times that of the short leg.

\text{long leg} = (\text{short leg})*\sqrt{3}\\\\x = 6\sqrt{3}\\\\

The short leg is always opposite the smallest angle (30 degrees).
