(x+2)(x+8) = x^2 +10x +16

(x^2 + 10x + 16)(x-1) = x^3+9x^2+6x-16, so the other dimension is x-1

The given box has the following properties

The length is x+2

The height is x+8

The volume is x^3+9x^2+6x-16

As expression for volume can be setup as below , suppose width is w

x^3+9x^2+6x-16=(x+8)(x+2)w\\ \text{Make factors on the left side we get}\\ \\ x^3+8x^2+x^2+8x-2x-16=(x+8)(x+2)w\\ \\ x^2(x+8)+x(x+8)-2(x+8)=(x+8)(x+2)w\\ \\ (x+8)(x^2+x-2)=(x+8)(x+2)w\\ \\ (x+8)(x^2+2x-x-2)=(x+8)(x+2)w\\ \\ (x+8)(x(x+2)-1(x+2))=(x+8)(x+2)w\\ \\ (x+8)(x+2)(x-1)=(x+8)(x+2)w\\

Hence width w=(x-1)

If the pattern rule is defined by the equation `t = 6n`, where `t` is the term value and `n` is the term number, what is the one
blagie [28]

Answer:

600

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

equation t = 6n

n is term number

we have to find 100th term.

Thus, term number is 100

substituting 100 in place of n in equation t=6n , we can find the value of 100th term

t = 6*100 = 600

Thus, 100th term is 600.

X + 4 is prime x2 – 9 can be factored using the formula.
Anna71 [15]

We are given two binomials: x+4 , x^2-9.

x+4 can't be factored. Therefore,  it is a prime.

Let us work on x^2-9.

9 could be written as 3^2.

Therefore, x^2-9 = x^2 - 3^2.

Now, we can apply difference of the squares formula to factor it.

We know a^2 -b^2 = (a-b) (a+b).

Therefore,  x^2 - 3^2 can be factored as (x-3) (x+3).

So, x^2-9 is not a prime binomial because it can be factored as (x-3) (x+3).

P=R-C<br><br> Solve the formula for C
Anit [1.1K]
P = R - C

R - C = P

- C = P - R

Multiply both sides by - 1

-C*-1 =   -1*(P - R)

C = -P + R

C = R - P
