A baker is building a rectangular solid box from cardboard to be able to safely deliver a birthday cake. The baker wants the vol

k0ka [10]

The length of the rectangular delivery box must be equal to 4 inches.

Let the length of the box be L.

Let the width of the box be W.

Let the height of the box be H.

Given the following data:

Volume of box = 224 cubic inches.

Translating the word problem into an algebraic expression;

$W = 3 + L$ ......equation 1

$H = 4 + L$ ......equation 2.

Mathematically, the volume of a rectangular solid is given by the formula;

$Volume = length * width * height$ .....equation 3.

Substituting the values into equation, we have;

$224 = L * (3 + L) * (4 + L)\\\\224 = (3L + L^{2})* (4 + L)\\\\224 = 12L + 3L^{2} + 4L^{2} + L^{3} \\\\224 = 12L + 7L^{2} + L^{3}$

Rearranging the polynomial, we have;

$L^{3} + 7L^{2} + 12L - 224 = 0$

We would apply the remainder theorem to solve the polynomial.

According to the remainder theorem, if a polynomial P(x) is divided by (x - r) and there is a remainder R; then P(r) = R.

When x = 3

$(x - 3) = 0\\x = 3$

$P(3) = 3^{3} + 7(3^{2}) + 12(3) - 224\\\\P(3) = 27 + 7(9) + 36 - 224\\\\P(3) = 27 + 63 + 36 - 224 = -98 \neq 0$

We would try with 4;

$P(4) = 4^{3} + 7(4^{2}) + 12(4) - 224\\\\P(4) = 64 + 7(16) + 48 - 224\\\\P(4) = 64 + 112 + 48 - 224\\\\P(4) = 224 - 224 = 0$

Therefore, 4 is one of its roots.

Hence, the length of the rectangular delivery box must be equal to 4 inches.

HELP!! What is the equation of the graphed line? (y=mx+b)

Anettt [7]

So to fine slope you would use the formula down below:

rise/run

So use a graphed point, 0, -5 and you rise or count up quadrants up to a point and then horizontally move to when you find that point.

So from 0,-5 go up 9 vertically, and you would be on the 4

Go horizontal 3 spots and your on a designated point.

So the rise is four and the run is 3

So 4/3 is the slope

In the y= Mx + b equation you would set the equation like this:

y= 4/3 + -5

The m in this formula stands for the slop and the b stands for the y-intercept

The y-intercept is the point that is on the y-axis and where it starts.

120 books increased by 55%

Novay_Z [31]

To find 55% of 120 books, multiply 120 x .55
Then add that answer to the original 120.

120 + 55% = 186

A jeweler wants to make 14 grams of an alloy that is precisely 75% gold.. The jeweler has alloys that are 25% gold, 50% gold, &a

Goryan [66]

Given that the jeweler has alloys that are 25% gold, 50% gold, and 82% gold.

As he wants to make 14 grams of an alloy by adding two different alloys that is precisely 75% gold, so one alloy must have a percentage of gold more than 75%.

One alloy is 82% gold and, the second can be chosen between 25% gold, 50% gold, so there are two cases.

Case 1: 82% gold + 50% gold

Let x grams of 82% gold and y grams of 50% gold added to make x+y=14 grams of 75% gold, so

75% of 14 = 82% of x + 50% of y

$\Rightarrow 75/100 \times 14 = 82/100 \times x + 50/100 \times y \\\\$

$\Rightarrow 75/100 \times 14 = 82/100 \times x + 50/100 \times (14-x)$ [as x+y=14]

$\Rightarrow 75 \times 14 = 82 \times x + 50 \times (14-x) \\\\\Rightarrow 75 \times 14 = 82 \times x + 50 \times14-50\times x \\\\\Rightarrow 75 \times 14 = 32 \times x + 50 \times14 \\\\\Rightarrow 32 \times x =75 \times 14 - 50 \times14 \\\\$

$\Rightarrow x =(25 \times 14)/32=10.9375$ grams

and $y = 14-x= 14-10.9375=3.0625$ grams.

Hence, 10.9375 grams of 82% gold and 3.0625 grams of 50% gold added to make 14 grams of 75% gold.

Case 2: 82% gold + 25% gold

Let x grams of 82% gold and y grams of 25% gold added to make x+y=14 grams of 75% gold, so

75% of 14 = 82% of x + 25% of y

$\Rightarrow 75/100 \times 14 = 82/100 \times x + 25/100 \times y \\\\\Rightarrow 75/100 \times 14 = 82/100 \times x + 25/100 \times (14-x) \\\\ \Rightarrow 75 \times 14 = 82 \times x + 25 \times (14-x) \\\\\Rightarrow 75 \times 14 = 82 \times x + 25 \times14-25\times x \\\\\Rightarrow 75 \times 14 = 57 \times x + 25 \times14 \\\\\Rightarrow 57 \times x =75 \times 14 - 25 \times14 \\\\$

$\Rightarrow x =(50 \times 14)/57=12.28$ grams

and $y = 14-x= 14-12.28=1.72$ grams.

Hence, 12.28 grams of 82% gold and 1.72 grams of 50% gold added to make 14 grams of 75% gold.

LaToya had a large collection of basketball cards. She decided to give half of them to her friends, Aaron, and a fourth of them

Savatey [412]

1-1/2-1/4=1/4 If 75 is 1/4, then just divide to get the whole thing. 75/1/4=200
She had two hundred cards to start with. Hope this helps!!!
