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)

What is a true statement about negative exponents?
Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

Raising something to a negative exponent is just taking the reciprocal of the amount.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's assume that you wanted to know what x^{-2} is.

To find it, you would take the reciprocal of the x amount. So x^{-2} becomes \frac{1}{x^{2}}.

This works because of the nature of exponents. Exponents represent the number of times you are multiplying a value by itself. So a^{3} would be equal to a · a · a. To increase the exponent, you increase the number of times the value is multiplied by itself: To increase a^{3} to a^{5}, you would have to multiply a with a^{3} two more times (a · a · a · a · a). To decrease the exponent, you must divide the value by itself. So to decrease a^{5} to a^{2}, you would have to divide a^{5} by a 3 times.

If the exponent is 0, the value is equal to 1. But you can still decrease the exponent into negative numbers. You just divide 1 by a the desired amount of times: \frac{1}{a^{3}} means that you are dividing 1 by a 3 times.

Hope this helps.

Joshua is planning a 1020-mile driving trip. His car gets an average of 30 mpg, and the cost of gas is about $4.06/gallon. What
dolphi86 [110]
30 miles for a single gallon.
first we find out how many gallons would be used.
number of gallons = 1020/30
gallons = 34.
and since 1 gallon costs $4.06
34 gallons would cost = 34 x 4.06 = $138.04

Find the value of x to the nearest tenth.
Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

around 4.1

Step-by-step explanation:

Using Pythaogrean theorem we get <em>sqrt 32</em> or <em>4sqrt2 </em>for the diagonal of the square.

To get x we can use Pythagorean theorem again to set up an equation,

32 + x^2 = 49

This gives us x = <em>sqrt17,</em> which is approximately 4.1231 or around 4.1
