The volume of a rectangular box is found by multiplying its length, width, and height: V = lwh. A certain box has a volume of b3

+ 3b2 - 4b - 12. Factor the four-term polynomial to find the dimensions of the box. Hint: Use factoring by grouping to factor the four term polynomial first.

Answer:

  length, width, and height are (b+2), (b-2), (b+3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Doing what the problem statement tells you to do, you get ...

  (b^3 +3b^2) -(4b +12)

  = b^2(b +3) -4(b +3) . . . . . factor each pair of terms

  = (b^2 -4)(b +3) . . . . . . . . . write as a product

  = (b -2)(b +2)(b +3) . . . . . . use the factoring of the difference of squares

The three factors are (b-2), (b+2), and (b+3). We have no clue as to how to associate those with length, width, and height. We just know these are the dimensions of the box.

Hello there!

The answer would be C since we are looking to find how far she ran based on the amount of miles that has passed.

As stated above, 6 minutes. However to find out how far she runs we have to change the speed to miles per minute.

6 minutes per mile is equal to 1/6 of a mile per minute

Formula for Distance is speed x time

The distance is d, the time is t and the speed is 1/6.

Plug it in:

d = 1/6t

Lastly, multiply by 6 on both sides.

d x 6 = 1/6t x 6

1/6 x 6 = 1t

6d = 1t

Answer: t= 6d

What equation models the data in the table if d = number of days and c = cost?
Anit [1.1K]
C = 22d is the correct answer because for every day the cost increases by 22 so two days mean the cost is equal to 22 (2)
