A cubical water tank can contain 1000/125 cubic meters of water. Find the length of a

Answer:

2 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that a cube of sidelength L has a volume:

V = L^3

Here, we know that the volume of water that the cube can hold is:

(1000/125) m^3

Then the volume of our cube is exactly that:

V = (1000/125) m^3

Then we have the equation:

L^3 = (1000/125) m^3

Which we can solve for L

L = ∛((1000/125) m^3 ) = (∛1000/∛125) m

Where we used that:

∛(a/b) = ∛a/∛b

Solving the cubic roots, we get:

L = (10/5) m = 2m

The length of the side of the water tank is 2 meters.

The base of a triangle exceeds the height by 3 cm if the area is 170 cm² what is the length of the base and the height of the tr
Strike441 [17]

Hey there!!

How do we find the area of a triangle?

Ans - Formula = ( 1 / 2 ) ( base ) ( height )

In the question, it states the base exceeds the height by 3 cm

Let's take the height as ' x '

The, the base of the triangle would be ' x + 3 '

It's area = 170 cm²

Let' get this into an equation :

( 1/2 ) ( x ) ( x + 3 ) = 170

... ( x / 2 ) ( x + 3 ) = 170

... ( x² + 3x / 2 ) = 170

Multiplying by 2 on both sides

... x² + 3x = 340

Subtract 340 on both sides

... x² + 3x - 340 = 0

We can write this as

... x² - 17x + 20x - 340 = 0

... x ( x - 17 ) + 20 ( x - 17 ) = 0

... ( x + 20 ) = 0

... ( x - 17 ) = 0

... x = -20

... x = 17

As the value can not be in negatives, we take x as 17

The value of height = 17 cm

The value of the base = 20 cm

Hope my answer helps!!

Find the inverse function of f(x)=4x-8
kipiarov [429]

Answer:

f^-1(x)=1/4x+2

Step-by-step explanation:

y=4x-8

change x and y

x=4y=8

switch sides

4y-8=x

add 8

4y=x+8

divide both sides by 4

y=1/4x+2

substitute f^-1(x) for y

f^-1(x)=1/4x+2
