Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:To find the x intercept using the equation of the line, plug in 0 for the y variable and solve for x. You can also use the graph of the line to find the x intercept. Just look on the graph for the point where the line crosses the x-axis, which is the horizontal axis. That point is the x intercept.
Hello :
<span>the greatest common factor for 26rs and 30r^5s^6 is : 2rs</span>
Let the three gp be a, ar and ar^2
a + ar + ar^2 = 21 => a(1 + r + r^2) = 21 . . . (1)
a^2 + a^2r^2 + a^2r^4 = 189 => a^2(1 + r^2 + r^4) = 189 . . . (2)
squaring (1) gives
a^2(1 + r + r^2)^2 = 441 . . . (3)
(3) ÷ (2) => (1 + r + r^2)^2 / (1 + r^2 + r^4) = 441/189 = 7/3
3(1 + r + r^2)^2 = 7(1 + r^2 + r^4)
3(r^4 + 2r^3 + 3r^2 + 2r + 1) = 7(1 + r^2 + r^4)
3r^4 + 6r^3 + 9r^2 + 6r + 3 = 7 + 7r^2 + 7r^4
4r^4 - 6r^3 - 2r^2 - 6r + 4 = 0
r = 1/2 or r = 2
From (1), a = 21/(1 + r + r^2)
When r = 2:
a = 21/(1 + 2 + 4) = 21/7 = 3
Therefore, the numbers are 3, 6 and 12.
Let h = height of the box,
x = side length of the base.
Volume of the box is

.
So

Surface area of a box is S = 2(Width • Length + Length • Height + Height • Width).
So surface area of the box is


The surface are is supposed to be the minimum. So we'll need to find the first derivative of the surface area function and set it to zero.

![4x = \frac{460}{ x^{2} } \\ 4x^{3} = 460 \\ x^{3} = 115 \\ x = \sqrt[3]{115} = 4.86](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%204x%20%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B460%7D%7B%20x%5E%7B2%7D%20%7D%20%20%5C%5C%20%204x%5E%7B3%7D%20%3D%20460%20%20%5C%5C%20x%5E%7B3%7D%20%3D%20115%20%20%5C%5C%20x%20%3D%20%20%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7B115%7D%20%3D%204.86%20)
Then

So the box is 4.86 in. wide and 4.87 in. high.
