Answer:
The original dimensions of the piece of metal are
Length: 36 inches
Width: 21 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x ----> the original length pf the piece of metal
y ----> the original width pf the piece of metal
we know that
----> equation A
The volume of the box is equal to
we have
substitute in the formula of volume
----> equation B
substitute equation A in equation B
solve for y
Solve the quadratic equation by graphing
using a graphing tool
The solution is y=21
Find the value of x
therefore
The original dimensions of the piece of metal are
Length: 36 inches
Width: 21 inches
Answer:25
Step-by-step explanation:
When a number is squared, the little two that follows a number, it means that the bigger number will multiply by itself.
So 5^2 (^2 signifies the square) means it is 5x5=25
Answer:
Please check the formatting when posting. I'm assuming these are the equations:
y=x^2 - 2
y=−x
Step-by-step explanation:
We can either graph the equations or solve them. I use graphing - see the attachment. The lines intersect at (-2, 2) and (1,-1)
<u>1. Graphing</u>
See attached graph
(-2, 2) and (1,-1) are the intersection points
<u>2. Solving</u>
y=x^2 - 2 Use y=−x in this equation:
-x = x^2 - 2
0 = x^2 + x - 2
0 = (x+2)(x-1)
x = -2 and +1
(-2, 2) and (1,-1) are the intersection points
Answer:
Your answer is 150
Step-by-step explanation:
So doing the percent equation, you would end up with:
40x=6000
you divide 40 on both sides to get
x=150
Hope this helps you some!!
