The dimensions would be x and x+6. The area is 216.

x(x+6) = 216
x^2 + 6x - 216 = 0
(x-12)(x+18) = 0

x = 12---Yes---
x = -18---No, sides cannot be negative---

If one side is 12, the other side is 18. To check:

12 * 18 = 216
216 = 216

Correct

the nth term of a sequence is given by an²+bn where a and b are integers the 2nd term of the sequence is 2 4th term of the seque

stealth61 [152]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Tn = an²+bn

T2 = a2²+2b

2 = 4a +2b

Multiply all through by 2

4 = 8a +4b

4b = 4-8a

T4 = a4² + 4b

20 = 16a +4b

4b = 20-16a

4-8a = 20-16a

16a -8a = 20-4

8a = 16

a = 16/8 = 2

4b = 4-8a = 4-8(2) = 4-16 = -12

b = -12/4 = -3

T6 = a6² + 6b

T6 = 2(36) + 6(-3) = 72 -18 = 54

The area of the base of a cylindrical container is defined by b(x) = x*2 - x + 12. Find

vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer: $V=x^3-2x^2+13x-12$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The area of the base is given by $b(x)=x^2-x+12$

The height of the container is $h(x)=x-1$

The volume of the cylindrical container is

$V=Area\times height$

Insert the values

$\Rightarrow V=\left( x^2-x+12\right)\cdot \left(x-1\right)\\\Rightarrow V=x^3-x^2+12x-x^2+x-12\\\Rightarrow V=x^3-2x^2+13x-12$

If a+b=5 and a-b=4 then b^2-a^2 =

Anna007 [38]

Answer:

$a + b = 5 \\ a \: = 5 - b \\ a - b = 4 \\ 5 - b - b = 4 \\ 5 - 2b = 4 \\ 5 - 4 = 2b \\ 1 = 2b \\ \frac{1}{2} = \frac{2b}{2} \\0.5 = b \\ b = 0.5 \\ a = 5 - b \\ = 5 - 0.5 \\ = 4.5 \\ {a \: }^{2} - {b}^{2} = ( {4.5}^{2}) - ( {0.5}^{2} ) \\ = 20.25 - 0.25 \\ = 20 \\ {a}^{2} - {b}^{2} = 20$
