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.

Answer:

A: False

B: False

C: True

D: True

E: False

F: True

G: True

H: True

Step-by-step explanation:

A: 9(x - 2) = 9x + 2

9x - 18 = 9x + 2 FALSE

B: 65 - y = y - 65

(equation rearranged) -y + 65 = y - 65 FALSE

C: g (times) h = h (times) g     (TRUE due to the commutative property of multiplication)

D: a (times) 0 = 0      (TRUE because anything times 0 equals 0)

E: (4 (times) 2) - r = 4 (2 (times) r)

8 - r =  8 - 4r FALSE

F: k + 0 = k TRUE

G: (a + x) + y = a + (x + y)

a + x + y = a + x + y TRUE

H: 5(2x - 9) = 10x - 45

10x - 45 = 10x - 45 TRUE

Write the equation of<br> the line that passes<br> through (2,-4) &amp;<br> has a slope of -1.
zzz [600]

Answer:

y= -1x-6

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation would be y=mx+b

M= slope, and B=y-intercept

If you look at a graph and use the slope to get to the Y-intercept you'll see that it is -6, and so you would just plug that into the equation along with the slope :)

Find the value for β that makes cosβ = sin15 true.
Gemiola [76]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This is an equation for which you need to solve for the value of the missing angle beta.

cos\beta =sin(15)

sin(15) has a decimal answer that you will find on your calculator.  Finding that value makes this equation then

cosβ = .2588190451

Now use the 2nd button and then the cos button to find the angle that has a cos of that decimal.  When you hit 2nd then cos, you should see this on your screen:

cos⁻¹ (

After that open parenthesis, enter you decimal then hit the enter button to find the angle.  You should get 75, which is Choice B.
