Adam is building a computer desk with a separate compartment for the computer. The compartment for the computer is a rectangular

prism and will be 8019 cubic inches. The compartment will be 24 inches longer than it is wide and the height will be 18 inches greater than the width. Find the dimensions of the computer compartment.

Answer:

The width of the computer compartment is 9 inches

The length of the computer compartment is 33 inches

The height of the computer compartment is 27 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The given data on the rectangular prism compartment are;

The volume of the rectangular prism, V = 8019 cubic inches

The length of the compartment, l = 24 inches + The width, w

The height of the compartment, h = 18 inches + The width, w

Therefore, we have;

l = 24 + w

h = 18 + w

V = l × h × w

∴ V = (24 + w) × (18 + w) × w = w³ + 42·w² + 432·w = 8019

w³ + 42·w² + 432·w - 8019 = 0

By graphing the above function with MS Excel, we have one of the solution is w = 9

∴ (w - 9) is a factor of w³ + 42·w² + 432·w - 8019 = 0

Dividing, we get;

w² + 51·w + 891

w³ + 42·w² + 432·w - 8019 = 0

w³ - 9·w²

     51·w² - 459·w

                 891·w

                 891·w + 8019

                             0

Therefore,

w³ + 42·w² + 432·w - 8019 = 0

w³ + 42·w² + 432·w - 8019  = (x - 9)·(w² + 51·w + 891) = 0

The determinant of the factor, w² + 51·w + 891 = 51² - 4×1×891 = -963, therefore, the it has complex roots

Therefore, the real solution of (x - 9)·(w² + 51·w + 891) = 0 is w = 9

The width of the computer compartment, w = 9 inches

The length of the computer compartment, l = 24 inches + 9 inches = 33 inches

The height of the computer compartment, h = 18 inches + 9 inches = 27 inches.

Three different golfers played a different number of holes today. Rory played 9 holes and had a total of 42 strokes. Jordan play
stiv31 [10]
Okay so for each person we're pretty much gonna have to find the value of strokes over holes.
Rory: 42 strokes per 9 holes
Jordan: 79 strokes per 18 holes
Ricky: 123 strokes per 27 holes

Now, we can do the division for each person and round. But first, I'll say stokes per hole is s/h. Just feed each number into a calculator like this: <em>per </em>means divide.

Rory: 4.66667 s/h
Jordan: 4.38889 s/h
Ricky: 4.55556 s/h
Well, Jordan had the lowest number of strokes per hole since his value is the smallest.

Answer: Jordan
