Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
One good way to look at this is to graph both polynomials, as shown in the picture. A tip to help graph is to factor it out and work from there. For example, in x²+14x+48, we can gather that (x+6)(x+8) is the same thing, and it is easier to then graph it. Similarly, for x²+12x+36, we can factor it out as (x+6)² .
When x²+12x+36 approaches 6, it is getting really close to 0, but it stays positive. When x²+14x+48 approaches 6 from the negative side, it is also getting close to 0, but it's negative. When x²+14x+48 approaches 6 from the positive side, it is positive.
Therefore, on the negative side, there is one positive and one negative (dividing a negative by a positive is negative, and a positive by a negative is also negative) , and on the positive side, there are two positives, forming one answer.The answer is therefore B
Carlos is correct
Since we don't know the length of sides PR and XZ, the triangles can't be congruent by the SSS theorem or the SAS theorem, and since we don't know the measure of angles Y and Q, the triangles can't be congruent by the ASA theorem, the SAS theorem or the AAS theorem. Therefore, Carlos is correct.
Carlos is correct. Since the angles P and X are not included between PQ and RQ and XY and YZ, the SAS postulate cannot be used, since it states that the angle must be included between the sides. Unlike with ASA, where there is the AAS theorem for non-included sides, there is not SSA theorem for non-included angles, so the triangles cannot be proven to be congruent.

Answer:
total cost = 8x^2 +17280/x
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the base length. Then the area of the base is x^2, and the height is h = 720/x^2.
The area of the four sides is ...
(4x)(h) = (4x)(720/x^2) = 2880/x
The cost of the base is ...
base cost = 8x^2
And the cost of the sides is ...
side cost = 6(2880)/x = 17280/x
The total cost of the box is ...
total cost = base cost + side cost
total cost = 8x^2 +17280/x

<em>Comment on the cost function</em>
You will find this function has a minimum at x=∛1080 ≈ 10.260 in. The total cost is about $2526.35, and the box is 2/3 times as tall as wide. That aspect ratio makes any pair of opposite sides cost the same as the base, the generic solution to a cost optimization problem of this sort.
