Given:

Volume of Large cube = 1 cubic unit

Volume of small cube = \dfrac{1}{27} cubic unit

To find:

The difference between the edge length of the large cube and the edge length of the small cube.

Solution:

Let the edges of large and small cubes are a_1 and a_2 respectively.

We know that, volume of a cube is

V=(edge)^3

Volume of Large cube = 1 cubic unit

(a_1)^3=1

Taking cube root on both sides, we get

a_1=1

So, edge of large cube is 1 unit.

Volume of small cube = \dfrac{1}{27} cubic unit

(a_2)^3=\dfrac{1}{27}

Taking cube root on both sides, we get

a_2=\dfrac{1}{3}

So, edge of large cube is \dfrac{1}{3} unit.

Now, difference between them is

d=a_1-a-2

d=1-\dfrac{1}{3}

d=\dfrac{3-1}{3}

d=\dfrac{2}{3}

Therefore, the difference between the edge length of the large cube and the edge length of the small cube is \dfrac{2}{3} unit.

Given that f(x) = x2 + 2x + 3 and g(x) = quantity of x plus four, over three , solve for f(g(x)) when x = 2.
Sidana [21]
f(x)=x^2+2x+3
g(x)=\frac{x+4}{3}
f(g(x))=(\frac{x+4}{3})^2+2(\frac{x+4}{3})+3
f(g(x))=\frac{x^2+8x+16}{9}+\frac{2x+8}{3}+3
f(g(2))=\frac{2^2+8(2)+16}{9}+\frac{2(2)+8}{3}+3
f(g(2))+\frac{4+16+16}{9}+\frac{4+8}{3}+3
f(g(2))=\frac{36}{9}+\frac{12}{3}+3
f(g(2))=4+4+3
f(g(2)=11

Check:
g(2)=(2+4)/3=2
f(2)=2^2+2(2)+3=4+4+3=11  Checks.

A baby elephant weighs 1,400 pounds, which is 7,437 pounds less than her mother. Write an equation to express the weight of the
erica [24]
Let's say that y is the weight of the mother and x is the weight of the baby.
We know that the baby is 7437 pounds less than the mother, which means you need to add 7437 pounds to the baby's weight to get the mother's.
We can show it like this:
x+7437=y.
We know what the baby's weight is (1400 lbs), so just sub it in:
1400+7437=y
y=8837 lbs
The mom weighs 8837 pounds.

Explain how to draw a circle with a circumference of π2 inches. OPTIONS : The circle has a diameter of π2 inches, so use a diame
WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

he circle has a radius of π inches, so use a radius of about 3.1 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

The circumference of a circle can be described as the linear distance round the circle

The circumference of a circle = 2nr

n = 3.14

r = radius

the diameter is the straight line that passes through the centre of a circle and touches the two edges of the circle.

A radius is half of the diameter

diameter = 2r

If diameter = n2

diameter = 3.14 x 2 = 6.28

Radius = 1/2 x diameter = 6.28/2 = 3.1
