Answer: 8320 cubes.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Calculate the volume of the rectangular prism:

$V_1=l*w*h$

Where<em> l </em>is the lenght, <em>w</em> is the width and <em>h</em> is the height.

Substitute values.

(You can convert 3 1/4 to decimal by dividing the numerator by the denominator of the fraction and add this to the whole part: 3+0.25=3.25)

Then:

$V_1=20in*2in*3.25in=130in^{3}$

2. Calculate the volume of a cube:

$V_2=s^{3}$

Where <em>s</em> is the lenght of any side.

Then:

$V_2=(\frac{1}{4}in)^{3}=\frac{1}{64}in^{3}=0.0156in^{3}$

3. To calculate the number of cubes that are needed to fill the rectangular prism (which you can call <em>n) </em>, you must divide the volume of the prism by the volume of a cube. Then:

$n=\frac{V_1}{V_2}=\frac{130in^{3}}{0.0156in^{3}}=8320$ cubes

Solve for x, <br> 3(x – 4) ≥ 5x + 2

Flauer [41]

$\Large\textsc{answer :}$

x≤-7

$\Large\textsc{calculations :}$

First , use the distributive property :

3(x-4)≥5x+2

3x-12≥5x+2

Subtract 5x on both sides :

3x-5x-12≥2

Now , add 12 on both sides :

3x-5x≥2+12

3x-5x≥14

Subtract the x's :

-2x≥14

Divide by -2 on both sides and watch what happens :

x≤-7 (notice that the inequality sign changed from "greater than or equal to" to "less than or equal to")

If we divide both sides of an inequality by a negative number , we change the inequality sign .

Let <img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Calpha" id="TexFormula1" title="\alpha" alt="\alpha" align="absmiddle" class="latex-form

Margarita [4]

Answer:

$|\alpha| = 2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Since $\alpha$ and $\beta$ are complex conjugates, let's define them as follows:

$\alpha = a+bi$

$\beta = a-bi$

$\frac{\alpha}{\beta^2}=\frac{a+bi}{a^2-b^2-2abi} =\frac{(a+bi)*(a^2-b^2+2abi)}{(a^2-b^2-2abi)*(a^2-b^2+2abi)} =\frac{a^3-3ab^2+(3a^2b-b^3)i}{a^4+2a^2b^2+b^4}$

Since $\frac{\alpha}{\beta^2}$ is a real number, complex part of above result must be zero.

$3a^2b-b^3=0$

From to hold above equality, $b=0$ or $b^2=3a^2$ .

However, since $|\alpha-\beta|=2\sqrt 3$ , $b\neq 0$

So, $b =\sqrt 3 a$ or $b =-\sqrt 3 a$

And since $\alpha$ and $\beta$ are complex conjugates, taking plus or minus sign as found above will not affect the result, so let's write the last version of $\alpha$ and $\beta$ as follows:

$\alpha = a+\sqrt 3 ai$

$\beta = a-\sqrt 3 ai$

Since $|\alpha-\beta|=2\sqrt 3$

$|a+\sqrt 3 ai-a+\sqrt 3 ai|=2\sqrt 3$ ⇒ $a = 1$

Finally, $\alpha = 1+\sqrt 3 i$ ⇒ $|\alpha| = \sqrt{(1^2+\sqrt 3^2)}=2$
