If you call
the mass of the ant and
the load, we have the equation

In fact, the mass of the ant is one tenth of the load, which is exactly what this equation states.
Since we are given the load, we simply need to plug its value in the equation to deduce the mass of the ant:

Answer: A. As x → ∞, f(x) → ∞, and as x → –∞, f(x) → ∞.
we'll start off by grouping some

so we have a missing guy at the end in order to get the a perfect square trinomial from that group, hmmm, what is it anyway?
well, let's recall that a perfect square trinomial is

so we know that the middle term in the trinomial, is really 2 times the other two without the exponent, well, in our case, the middle term is just "x", well is really -x, but we'll add the minus later, we only use the positive coefficient and variable, so we'll use "x" to find the last term.

so, there's our fellow, however, let's recall that all we're doing is borrowing from our very good friend Mr Zero, 0, so if we add (1/2)², we also have to subtract (1/2)²
![\bf \left( x^2 -x +\left[ \cfrac{1}{2} \right]^2-\left[ \cfrac{1}{2} \right]^2 \right)=6\implies \left( x^2 -x +\left[ \cfrac{1}{2} \right]^2 \right)-\left[ \cfrac{1}{2} \right]^2=6 \\\\\\ \left(x-\cfrac{1}{2} \right)^2=6+\cfrac{1}{4}\implies \left(x-\cfrac{1}{2} \right)^2=\cfrac{25}{4}\implies x-\cfrac{1}{2}=\sqrt{\cfrac{25}{4}} \\\\\\ x-\cfrac{1}{2}=\cfrac{\sqrt{25}}{\sqrt{4}}\implies x-\cfrac{1}{2}=\cfrac{5}{2}\implies x=\cfrac{5}{2}+\cfrac{1}{2}\implies x=\cfrac{6}{2}\implies \boxed{x=3}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cbf%20%5Cleft%28%20x%5E2%20-x%20%2B%5Cleft%5B%20%5Ccfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D%20%5Cright%5D%5E2-%5Cleft%5B%20%5Ccfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D%20%5Cright%5D%5E2%20%5Cright%29%3D6%5Cimplies%20%5Cleft%28%20x%5E2%20-x%20%2B%5Cleft%5B%20%5Ccfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D%20%5Cright%5D%5E2%20%5Cright%29-%5Cleft%5B%20%5Ccfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D%20%5Cright%5D%5E2%3D6%20%5C%5C%5C%5C%5C%5C%20%5Cleft%28x-%5Ccfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D%20%5Cright%29%5E2%3D6%2B%5Ccfrac%7B1%7D%7B4%7D%5Cimplies%20%5Cleft%28x-%5Ccfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D%20%5Cright%29%5E2%3D%5Ccfrac%7B25%7D%7B4%7D%5Cimplies%20x-%5Ccfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D%3D%5Csqrt%7B%5Ccfrac%7B25%7D%7B4%7D%7D%20%5C%5C%5C%5C%5C%5C%20x-%5Ccfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D%3D%5Ccfrac%7B%5Csqrt%7B25%7D%7D%7B%5Csqrt%7B4%7D%7D%5Cimplies%20x-%5Ccfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D%3D%5Ccfrac%7B5%7D%7B2%7D%5Cimplies%20x%3D%5Ccfrac%7B5%7D%7B2%7D%2B%5Ccfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D%5Cimplies%20x%3D%5Ccfrac%7B6%7D%7B2%7D%5Cimplies%20%5Cboxed%7Bx%3D3%7D)
Since the base is a regular quadrilateral, each of its 4 sides must have length
s = P/4
s = (60 cm)/4 = 15 cm
The area of one lateral face is the product of side length and height.
A = s×h
105 cm² = (15 cm)×h
Then the height of the prism is
h = (105 cm²)/(15 cm) = 7 cm
The area of the base is then
B = s²
B = (15 cm)² = 225 cm²
The volume of the prism is the product of its base area and height.
V = Bh
V = (225 cm²)×(7 cm) = 1575 cm³
The volume is 1575 cm³.
