Answer:
d = -9
Step-by-step explanation:
First lets input our x value for g(x)
This gives us the integral
First, we need to split this integral into the different aspects of the piecewise function. This will give us
Now, we need to evaluate each of these integrals
Now all we need to do is add the values of each of these integrals
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The cubic equation ...
(x -3)(x -1)(x +5) = 80
has one real root: x = 5. Using that value for x, the dimensions become ...
length = 5 - 3 = 2
width = 5 - 1 = 4
height = 5 + 5 = 10
The dimensions are (length, width, height) = (2, 4, 10).

We cannot tell the thrust of the problem, since it has only one solution. Perhaps you're supposed to write the cubic in standard form and use the <em>Rational Root theorem</em> to find <em>possible values of x</em>. That form can be found to be ...
(x -3)(x -1)(x +5) -80 = 0
x³ +x² -17x -65 = 0
Descartes' rule of signs tells you there is one positive real root. The rational root theorem tells you possible rational roots are factors of 65:
1, 5, 13, 65
We know that x must be greater than 3 (so all dimensions are positive). Thus <em>possible values of x are 5, 13, 65</em>, and we're pretty sure that 65 is way too large.
