The rate of change is +2
as an ordered pair it would be (1,-3),(2,-1)(3,1),(4,3)
Answer:
- parallelogram
- x = 5
- 60 units
Step-by-step explanation:
A. Opposite sides are the same length, so the figure is a parallelogram.
__
B. Diagonals of a parallelogram cross at their midpoints, so ...
9x +3 = 10x -2
5 = x . . . . . . . . add 2-9x to both sides
__
C. The longer side is 12x = 12(5) = 60 . . . . units
Solve each problem. Volume of a Box A piece of sheet metal is 2.5 times as long as it is wide. It is to be made into a box with an open top by cutting 3 -inch squares from each corner and folding up the sides, as shown at the top of the next page. Let x
represent the width of the original piece of sheet metal. (a) Represent the length of the original piece of sheet metal in terms of x.
(b) What are the restrictions on x?
(c) Determine a function V
that represents the volume of the box in terms of x
(d) For what values of x
(that is, original widths) will the volume of the box be between 600 and 800 cubic inches? Determine the answer graphically, and give values to the nearest tenth of an inch
