Answer:
The effect of doubling all the dimensions of a triangular pyramid will have on the volume of the pyramid is to increase it by 8 times.
Step-by-step explanation:
i) volume of triangular pyramid =
Area
height
=
(Base of triangle
perpendicular height of triangle)
height
ii) if we double all the dimensions then the three variables((Base of triangle, perpendicular height of triangle, height of pyramid) will be doubled
and the volume of the new pyramid will be 8 times that of the original one.
<h3>Answer:</h3>
±12 (two answers)
<h3>Explanation:</h3>
Suppose one root is <em>a</em>. Then the other root will be -3<em>a</em>. The product of the two roots is the ratio of the constant coefficient to the leading coefficient:
(<em>a</em>)(-3<em>a</em>) = -27/4
<em>a</em>² = -27/(4·(-3)) = 9/4
<em>a</em> = ±√(9/4) = ±3/2
Then the other root is
-3<em>a</em> = -3(±3/2) = ±9/2 . . . . . . the roots will have opposite signs
We know the opposite of the sum of these roots will be the ratio of the linear term coefficient to the leading coefficient: b/4, so ...
-(a + (-3a)) = b/4
2a = b/4
b = 8a = 8·(±3/2)
b = ±12
_____
<em>Check</em>
For b = 12, the equation factors as ...
4x² +12x -27 = (2x -3)(2x +9) = 0
It has roots -9/2 and +3/2, the ratio of which is -3.
For b = -12, the equation factors as ...
4x² -12x -27 = (2x +3)(2x -9) = 0
It has roots 9/2 and -3/2, the ratio of which is -3.
