The volume of a rectangular prism is always LWH=V, the cube is a special prism in that L=W=H are all equal so:
V=s^3 where s is the length of all sides...
s^3=1728
s=1728^(1/3)
s=12 units
Your answer is 8/5
If you plug it in, you get:
8/(2+3)
Add the 2 and 3 and you’ll get
8/5
To solve the average rate of change, use the formula of the slope:
m = ( y2 - y1 ) / ( x2 - x1 )
but first we must solve the value of the function when x = 3
f(3) = - log ( 4 * 3 ) + 5
f (3) = 3.92
solve the function when x = 8
f(8) = - log ( 4 * 8) + 5
f(8) = 3.49
so the average rate of change
m = ( 3.49 - 3.92 ) / ( 8 - 3)
m = - 0.09
