Answer:

ANSWER BELOW↓

Step-by-step explanation:

Factoring a polynomial involves writing it as a product of two or more polynomials. It reverses the process of polynomial multiplication. We have seen several examples of factoring already. However, for this article, you should be especially familiar with taking common factors using the distributive property.

The given box has the shape of a cuboid, since its height is greater than its width. Thus, the maximum volume for such box is 11200 $in^{3}$ .

The volume of an object is a measure of it containing capacity. Since the given box has a taller height than its width, then it has the shape of a cuboid. The volume of a cuboid is given as:

volume = length x width x height

= area x height

Given that the sum of the perimeter of its base and its height is not more than 108 inches, we can say; let the sides of the square base be represented by l and its height by h.

Then;

4l + h = 108

Therefore, maximum volume for the box can be attained when l = 20 inches and h = 28 inches.

So that;

4(20) + 28 = 80 + 28

= 108 inches

Thus;

maximum volume = area of the square base x height

= 400 x 28

maximum volume = 11200 $in^{3}$

The maximum volume for such a box would be 11200 $in^{3}$ .

What is the quotient when 4x3 + 2x + 7 is divided by x + 3?

Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

The quotient of this division is $(4x^2 -12x + 38)$ . The remainder here would be $-26$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

The numerator $4x^3 + 2x + 7$ is a polynomial about $x$ with degree $3$ .

The divisor $x + 3$ is a polynomial, also about $x$ , but with degree $1$ .

By the division algorithm, the quotient should be of degree $3 - 1 = 2$ , while the remainder shall be of degree $1 - 1 = 0$ (i.e., the remainder would be a constant.) Let the quotient be $a\,x^2 + b\, x + c$ with coefficients $a$ , $b$ , and $c$ .

$4x^3 + 2x + 7 = \left(a\,x^2 + b\, x + c\right)(x + 3)$ .

Start by finding the first coefficient of the quotient.

The degree-three term on the left-hand side is $4 x^3$ . On the right-hand side, that would be $a\, x^3$ . Hence $a = 4$ .

Now, given that $a = 4$ , rewrite the right-hand side:

$\begin{aligned}&\left(4\,x^2 + b\, x + c\right)(x + 3) \cr =& \left(4x^2 + (b\, x + c)\right)(x + 3) \cr =& 4x^2(x + 3) + (bx + c)(x + 3) \cr =& 4x^3 + 12x^2 + (bx + c)(x + 3)\end{aligned}$ .

Hence:

$4x^3 + 2x + 7 = 4x^3 + 12x^2 + (b\,x + c)(x + 3)$

Subtract $\left(4x^3 + 12x^2\right$ from both sides of the equation:

$-12x^2 + 2x + 7 = (b\,x + c)(x + 3)$ .

The term with a degree of two on the left-hand side has coefficient $(-12)$ . Since the only term on the right hand side with degree two would have coefficient $b$ , $b = -12$ .

Again, rewrite the right-hand side:

$\begin{aligned}&\left(-12 x + c\right)(x + 3) \cr =& \left(-12 x+ c\right)(x + 3) \cr =& (-12x)(x + 3) + c(x + 3) \cr =& -12x^2 -36x + (bx + c)(x + 3)\end{aligned}$ .

Subtract $-12x^2 -36x$ from both sides of the equation:

$38x + 7 = c(x + 3)$ .

By the same logic, $c = 38$ .

Hence the quotient would be $(4x^2 - 12x + 38)$ .

Which of the following has the least steep graph?

aleksklad [387]

Answer is D. y = 1/2x + 3
Explanation
you are looking for “least steep” on the graph, so you are looking for the least amount of slope. Slope is the number next to x in the slope intercept y=mx+b.
1/2 on a graph would be 1 up and 2 to the right
The other three options would be 1 up 1 over, 2 up 1 over, 3 up 1 over, all having a steeper slope.
