Answer:
5
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Given</u>:
A = (a, 14-a)
P = (3a, a^2 +13a -11)
the slope of AP is 7
a > 0
<u>Find</u>:
a
<u>Solution</u>:
The slope of AP is ...
m = (Py -Ay)/(Px -Ax)
7 = (a^2 +13a -11 -(14 -a))/(3a -a)
14a = a^2 +14a -25
25 = a^2
a = √25 = 5 . . . . . the positive solution
The value of 'a' is 5.
_____
<em>Check</em>
The point A is (a, 14-a) = (5, 9).
The point P is (3a, a^2 +13a -11) = (15, 79)
The slope of AP is (79 -9)/(15 -5) = 70/10 = 7.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Volume of the cuboid = Length * Width * Height
Given
Length = 4cm
Width = (x+1)cm
Height = (x-11)cm
Volume of the cuboid = 4(x+1)(x+11)
Volume of the cuboid = 4(x^2+11x+x+11)
Volume of the cuboid = 4(x^2+12x+11)
Volume of the cuboid = 4x*2+48x+44
925 = 4x*2+48x+44
4x*2+48x+44-925 = 0
4x*2+48x-881 = 0
Divide through by 4
x^2 + 12x - 220.25 = 0
Factorize using the general formula;
x = -12±√12²-4(-220.25)/2
x = -12±√144+881/2
x = -12±√1025/2
x = -12±32/2
x = 12+32/2
x = 20/2
x = 10
Hence the dimension of the cuboid is 4cm, (10+1)cm and (10+11)cm
Dimension is 4cm by 11cm by 21cm
Answer:
i think its x = -14/19 Not 100% sure
