We have been given that an open box is made from an 8 by ten-inch rectangular piece of cardboard by cutting squares from each corner and folding up the sides. We are asked to find the volume of the box.

The side of box will be $8-x-x=8-2x$ and $10-x-x=10-2x$ .

The height of the box will be $x$ .

The volume of box will be area of base times height.

$\text{Volume of box}=(8-2x)(10-2x)\cdot x$

Now we will use FOIL to simplify our expression.

$\text{Volume of box}=(80-16x-20x+4x^2)\cdot x$

$\text{Volume of box}=(80-36x+4x^2)\cdot x$

Now we will distribute x.

$\text{Volume of box}=80x-36x^2+4x^3$

$V(x)=80x-36x^2+4x^3$

Therefore, the volume of the box would be $V(x)=80x-36x^2+4x^3$ .

Tony flips a coin and gets heads. He tells his friend that he can get heads two more times in a row .what is the probability tha

Sergio [31]

Answer:

The probability is 1/8 or 0.125

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are concerned with calculating the probability that when a coin is flipped there would be a show of heads three times.

In flipping of a coin, there are only two possible results with equal probability. The probability of both events i.e P(H) and P(T) is equal and that is 1/2

Thus the probability of getting heads three times in a row will be P(HHH) meaning P(H) and another P(H) and another P(H)

When we have and in a probability question, that means we are to multiply the probabilities together.

Hence, P(HHH) = 1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2 = 1/8
