A square piece of paper has an area of x2 square units. A rectangular strip with a width of 2 units and a length of x units is c

ut off of the square piece of paper. The remaining piece of paper has an area of 120 square units.
Which equation can be used to solve for x, the side length of the original square?


x2 − 2x − 120 = 0

x2 + 2x − 120 = 0

x2 − 2x + 120 = 0

x2 + 2x + 120 = 0

Let

x--------> the length side of the original square paper

we know that

<u>the area of the original square paper is equal to</u>

A1=x*x=x^{2} \ units^{2}

<u>the area of the remaining piece of paper is equal to</u>

A2=x^{2} -2x\\ A2=120\ units^{2} \\ so\\ x^{2} -2x=120\\ x^{2} -2x-120=0

therefore

<u>the answer is the option </u>

x2 − 2x − 120 = 0

Calculate the volume of the cylinder. Use button, not 3.14. Round answer to the tenth place.
Volgvan

Answer:

68.69 m^3

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of cone = \frac{1}{3}\pi r^{2}h

= \frac{1}{3}\pi (2.9^{2})(7.8)

= \frac{1}{3}\pi (65.6)\\

= \frac{1}{3}(206)

= 68.69 m^3

At which of the following points do the two equations f(x)=3x2+5 and g(x)=4x+4 intersect?
Basile [38]

Answer:

(\frac{1}{3}, \frac{16}{3} ) and (1, 8 )

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the points of intersection equate f(x) and g(x), that is

3x² + 5 = 4x + 4 ( subtract 4x + 4 from both sides )

3x² - 4x + 1 = 0 ← in standard form

(3x - 1)(x - 1) = 0 ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

3x - 1 = 0 ⇒ 3x = 1 ⇒ x = \frac{1}{3}

x - 1 = 0 ⇒ x = 1

Substitute these values into either of the 2 functions for corresponding y- coordinates.

Substituting into g(x), then

g(1) = 4(1) + 4 = 4 + 4 = 8 ⇒ (1, 8 )

g(\frac{1}{3} ) = \frac{4}{3} + 4 = \frac{16}{3} ⇒ (\frac{1}{3}, \frac{16}{3} )
