Answer:

Dimensions = 4cm, 11cm and 21cm

Dimensions = 4cm, -21cm and -11cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Solving the quadratic equation by using the factorization method;

x² + 12x - 220 = 0

Factors = 22 and -10

x² + 22x - 10x - 220 = 0

x(x + 22) - 10(x + 220) = 0

(x - 10)(x + 22) = 0

Therefore, x = 10 or x = -22

Given the following data;

Length of one side = (x + 1)cm

When x = 10

Length of one side = (10 + 1)cm

Length of one side = 11cm.

When x = -22

Length of one side = (-22 + 1)cm

Length of one side = -21cm

Length of the other side = (x + 11)cm

When x = 10

Length of the other side = (10 + 11)cm

Length of the other side = 21cm

When x = -22

Length of the other side = (-22 + 11)cm

Length of the other side = -11cm

Check;

Volume of a cuboid = L*L*L

Volume of a cuboid = 4 * 11 * 21

Volume of a cuboid = 924cm³

Brian can lay a slab of concrete in 6 hours, while Greg can do it in 4 hours. If Brian and Greg work together, how long will it

anastassius [24]

Answer:

2 2/5 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

In 6 hours Brian can lay 1 slab of concrete

dividing both side by 6

in 6/6 hours Brian can lay 1/6 slab of concrete

Thus, in 1 hour Brian can lay 1/6 slab of concrete

In 4 hours Greg can lay 1 slab of concrete

dividing both side by 4

in 4/4 hours Greg can lay 1/4 slab of concrete

Thus, in 1 hour Greg can lay 1/4 slab of concrete

Thus, total part of slab laid by both in 1 hour when they work together

1/6 + 1/4 = 4+6/(6*4) = 10/24 = 5/12

5/12 of slab of concrete is laid by both of them in 1 hour

time taken to lay 5/12 of slab = 1 hour

dividing both side by 5/12

time taken to 5/12/ 5/12 of slab = 1/5/12 hour = 12/5 hours

time taken to 1/1 of slab = 12/5 hours = 2 2/5 hours

Thus,

it takes 2 2/5 hours to lay the full slab of concrete when Brian and Greg work together,

The number N of bacteria present in a culture at time t (in hours) obeys the equation N = 1000e^0.01t After how many hours will

jasenka [17]

Answer: N(t) = (2^t)*1500

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's define the hour "zero" as the initial population.

So if N(t) is the number of bacteria after t hours, then:

N(0) = 1500.

Now, we know that the population doubles every hour, so we will have that after one hour, at t = 1

N(1) = 2*1500 = 3000

after two hours, at t = 2.

N(2) = 2*(2*1500) = (2^2)*1500

After three hours, at t = 3

N(3) = 2*(2^2)*1500 = (2^3)*1500

So we already can see the pattern, the number of bacteria after t hours will be:

N(t) = (2^t)*1500

Is the equation below a function? explain d) y2 = x2 + 5

RoseWind [281]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

y^2 = x^2 + 5

Rewriting

y^2 - x^2 = 5

This is a hyperbola

We can use the vertical line test to show that it is not a function since a vertical line passes through more than one point.

PLEASE HELP!!! Maria is saving money so she can go to a professional football game. Maria has $25. She saves $5 a week. Graph a

Kruka [31]

Equation would be: Y = 25 + 5x
Where, x = number of weeks
So, when x = 1, Y = 25 + 5(1) = 25+5 = 30
When x = 2, Y = 25 + 5(2) = 25 + 10 = 35
x = 3, Y = 25 + 5(3) = 25 + 15 = 40

So, Mark the coordinates: (0, 25), (1, 30), (2, 35), (3, 40), (4, 45), (5, 50)...
And draw a line...Graph is done!

Hope this helps!
