Answer:

The width of the tank is 5 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the width of the tank be w ft.


Then, the length of the tank will be l=(w+3)ft

and the heigth will be h=(w-1)ft.


It was given that the volume of the tank is 160ft^3.


Recall that the tank is a cuboid or a rectangular prism.


The volume is given by;


V=l\timesb \times w \times h.


We substitute the given values into the formula to obtain;


160=(w+3)(w)(w-1)


We expand to obtain


160=w(w^2-w+3w-3)


160=w(w^2+2w-3)


160=w^3+2w^2-3w


w^3+2w^2-3w-160=0


\Rightarrow w=5


Therefore the width of the tank is 5 feet.

Answer:

$196 for twenty-four months. $130 for twelve months  

$80 for one month. $100 dollars for five months.

Step-by-step explanation:

y=mx+b solved is y=5x+75

note- X is the amount of months

y=5(24)+75       y=5(11)+75      y=5(1)+75         y=5(5)+75

y=120+75          Y=55+75        y=5+75            y=25+75

y=195                 y=130             y= 80               y=190

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1)

A. 2 meters to centimeters

1 m = 100 cm

2 m = 2 \times 100 \\2 m = 200 cm = 2 \times 10^2

B)108 centimeters to meters

100 cm =1 m

1 cm = \frac{1}{100} m \\108 cm = \frac{108}{100}=108 \times 10^{-2} m

C)2.49 meters to centimeters

1 m = 100 cm

2.49 m = 2.49 \times 100 = \frac{249}{100} \times 100 = 249 cm

D)50 centimeters to meters

100 cm = 1m

1 cm = \frac{1}{100} m \\50 cm = \frac{50}{100}= 5 \times 10^{-1} m

E)6.3 meters to centimeters

1 m = 100 cm

6.3 m = 6.3 \times 100=\frac{63}{10} \times 100 = 630  cm

F)7 centimeters to meters

100 cm = 1 m

1 cm = \frac{1}{100} m\\\\7 cm = \frac{7}{100} = 7 \times 10^{-2} m

2)

a)4 meters to millimeters

1 m = 1000 mm

4 m = 4000 = 4 \times 10^3 mm

b)1.7 meters to millimeters

1 m = 1000 mm

1.7 m = 1.7 \times 1000= \frac{17}{10} \times 1000=17 \times 10^2 mm

If matrix A has dimensions 3 x 2 and matrix B has dimensions 3 x 2, can matrix A and matrix B be multiplied?
Charra [1.4K]
Matrix A has 3 rows, 2 columns
Matrix B has 3 rows, 2 columns

The number of columns in matrix A (which is 2) does not match up with the number of rows in matrix B (which is 3). 

So the matrix multiplication A*B is undefined. We cannot multiply the matrices.
