The volume of a box like this is found by multiplying the length times the width times the height. We are told that the length is 8 more inches than the width, so the width is w and the length is w + 8. If we cut away 3 square inches from each corner, the height when we fold up those corners is going to be 3. The volume is given as 27, so our formula looks like this:
. When we do that multiplication, we have
. We need to solve for w so we can then solve for h. Move the 27 over and set the quadratic equal to 0.
. We can then factor out a 3 to make the job easier:
. Now we can factor to solve for w. The 2 numbers that add up to 8 and multiply to -9 are 9 and -1. So (w+9) = 0, (w-1) = 0, or 3 = 0. Of course 3 doesn't equal 0, so that's out. w + 9 = 0 so w = -9. w - 1 = 0 so w = 1. There are 2 things in math that can never EVER be negative and those are time and distance/length. So -9 is out. That means that w = 1. But don't forget that there was 6 inches cut off each side, so the width is 1 + 3 + 3 which is 7. The length is w + 8 which means that the length is 7 + 8 or 15. Those are the dimensions of the rectangle before it was cut.
Answer:
yeah probably lol but not like it matter be you my guy
Answer:
Yes
Step-by-step explanation:
The two rules for a proportional relationship are
- The line is straight (Check)
- The line goes though the origin (Check)
Because of that it is a proportional relationship.
Hope this helps :)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The average rate of change is the slope. However, since this is not a linear function but an exponential one, we cannot determine the slope of the function, only the slope of the secant line that connects the x-values of 4 and 8. In order to do that we need to find the corresponding y-coordinate that goes with each of those x-values and plug them into the slope function. What we will get is a very loose interpretation of the rate of change of population, but that's all we have short of using calculus. It would be a closer estimation if we looked at x values of 4 and 5, or eve 4 ad 4.5. But that's not what we're being asked. So let's get to it.
Sub first 4 in for x and then 8, to get each y value:
to get that P(4) = 2742.16
to get that P(8) = 2937.29
The coordinates for these are (4, 2742.16) and (8, 2937.29)
Plug into the slope formula:
which gives you, in decimal form rounded to the nearest hundredth,
48.78 million.
The interpretation of this value in our situation is that between 1954 and 1958 the population increased 48.78 million people per year.
