Answer:

Since the plane if cutting through the prism to make 5 sides, than the original shape needs to have less than 5.

A prism, is a 3D shape, so you can't have a 2 sided shape.

Now you have a choice of 3+or 4 sides.

A 3 sides shape is a triangle, which also can't be cut into a 5 sided prism, so the answer would need to be 4.

insens350 [35]
<span>The function f(x) = x^3 + 2x^2 - 4x - 3 is a polynomial function of degree 3 and hence will have three solutions and hence 3 x-intercepts. The function g(x) has x-intercepts at x = -2, x = -1, x = 1 and x = 3. Hence function g(x) has 4 x-intercepts. The function h(x) has x-intercepts at points (pi over 2, 0) and (3 pi over 2, 0). Hence function h(x) has 2 x-intercepts. Therefore, the function with the most x-intercepts is function g(x) with 4 x-intercepts.</span>

Jack’s shipping company has to transport boxes of industrial nuts and industrial bolts to its clients. Each box of industrial nu
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

The correct option is B.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the boxes of nuts be x and the boxes of bolts by y.

The weight of nut box is 100 kg and the weight of bolt box is 200 kg.The maximum weight the company’s cargo container can hold is 24,000 kilograms.

100x+200y\leq 24000

x+2y\leq 240                             .... (1)

The company needs to transport a minimum of 160 boxes per cargo container.

x+y\geq 160                             .... (2)

Plot the above inequalities on the coordinate plane.

The related equations are

x+2y=240                        .... (3)

x+y=160                           .... (4)

The x-intercept of equation 3 is (240,0) and the y-intercept is (0,120).

The x-intercept of equation 4 is (160,0) and the y-intercept is (0,160).

Check the inequality by (0,0).

0+2(0)\leq 240

0\leq 240

This statement is true, therefore the shaded region of inequality (1) contains (0,0).

x+y\geq 160

0+0\geq 160\

0\geq 160

This statement is false, therefore the shaded region of inequality (2) does not contains (0,0).

Therefore graph (2) represents the solution and option B is correct.
