Carla and Marty have three straws. The straws have lengths 8 inches, 10 inches and 14 inches. They are going to use their straws

to form a triangle. Carla predicts that they will be able to make at least two different triangles. Marty predicts that each of their triangles will be exactly the same, so there is really only one triangle that can be formed. Who is correct? Explain your reasoning.

Carla is correct because they will not all be exactly the same unless they choose to make them all be the same. Hope I could help! :D

A cylindrical can, open at the top, is to hold 840 cm3 of liquid. Find the height and radius that minimize the amount of materia
ycow [4]

Answer:

the radius of the base is equal to x=2\sqrt[3]{\frac{105}{\pi } }

And the height is equal to:

y=\frac{840}{\pi(2\sqrt[3]{\frac{105}{\pi}})^{2} }

Step-by-step explanation:

We write the volume function

f(x,y)=840=\pi x^{2} y where x is the radius of the base and y is the height of the cylinder

y=\frac{840}{\pi x^{2} }

The surface of a cylinder is given by

S(x)=\pi x^{2} +2\pi xy=\pi x^{2} +\frac{1680}{x} on the interval from 0 to infinity

We now determine the critical values by differentiating and making the equation equal to 0

f'(x)=2\pi*x- \frac{1680}{x^{2}} =\frac{2\pi x^{3}-1680}{x^{2} } =0

This equation have 2 complex solutions and one real solution

x=2\sqrt[3]{\frac{105}{\pi } }

For x=0 and infinity the equation goes to infinity also so the radius of the base is equal to x=2\sqrt[3]{\frac{105}{\pi } }

And the height is equal to:

y=\frac{840}{\pi (2\sqrt[3]{\frac{105}{\pi } })^{2} }

y=\frac{840}{\pi(2\sqrt[3]{\frac{105}{\pi}})^{2} }

Erica wants to decorate a rectangular box by covering all the faces of the box, including the top and bottom, with 1-inch square
BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

142

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a Total Surface Area problem.

The box has 6 faces (sides): front, back, left, right, top, bottom. They are all rectangles. Area of a rectangle is length × width.

You find the area of each face and add them all up.

see image.

TSA = 15+15+21+21+35+35

= 30+42+70

= 142 sq inches

Erica needs 142 pieces of paper to decorate her box.

Drag the correct factors to the expression. Not all factors will be used. Use synthetic division to find all the factors of this
fiasKO [112]

The factors are therefore;  (4x – 3), (x + 3) and (x – 1)

<h3>What is a polynomial?</h3>

A polynomial is is a function that contains an algebraic term which is raised to a particular power.

  • If it is raised to power 1 it is linear
  • If it is raised to power 2 it is quadratic
  • If its is raised to power 3 it is cubic
  • If it i raised to power 3 it is quartic

Now we have;

4x³ + 5x² – 18x + 9

Thus we can write;

4x³ – 3x² + 8x² – 6x – 12x + 9

Using the factors;

x²(4x – 3) + 2x(4x² – 3) – 3(4x – 3)

Therefore;

(4x – 3)(x² + 2x– 3)

(4x – 3)(x² + 3x – x – 3)

(4x – 3)(x + 3)(x – 1)

The factors are therefore;  (4x – 3), (x + 3) and (x – 1)
