19x-53 / x^2 + x + 2
You want to put a - ( 19 x / x^2 + x + 2 - 53/x^2 +x +2)
Let x = the width
then
2x = the length
:
The box dimensions: 2x by x by 4
Given the surface area:
2(2x*x) + 2(2x*4) + 2(x*4) = 220
:
4x^2 + 16x + 8x = 220
A quadratic equation:
4x^2 + 24x - 220 = 0
simplify, divide by 4
x^2 + 6x - 55 = 0
Factor
(x+11)(x-5) = 0
The positive solution is what we want here:
x = 5 ft is the width
then
2(5) = 10 ft is the length
:
Find the volume
10 * 5 * 4 = 200 cu/ft is the volume
Answer:
11 dimes, 17 nickels
Step-by-step explanation:
d + n = 28, put one variable by itself on a side, d = 28 - n
.10d + .05n = 1.95
Sub the first equation into the second
.10(28 - n) + .05n = 1.95
2.8 - .10n + .05n = 1.95
2.8 - .05n = 1.95
-.05n = -0.85
n = 17 nickels
d + 17 = 28
d = 11 11 dimes
Andrew can reach a maximum of
high up the wall.
The right-angled triangle formed can be solved using the
ratio. that is

where
is the distance from the foot of the wall to the tip of the ladder where it rests on the wall. Substituting, and solving for
, we get

Since Andrew can reach an extra
above the point where the ladder rests against the wall, the maximum height Andrew can paint is
