Answer: -9

Step-by-step explanation: You are not doing 3(-2) to get -6. That's incorrect. What you are supposed to do is multiply the base which is 3 and then multiply it with -2 so that would 3(3) twice and don't forget the negative in front of the two so that would be -9 as the correct answer. :)

Which equation could possibly represent the graphed function?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

You're looking for x-intercepts

From the graph you know that the x-intercepts are as follows:

x = -4, x = -2, x = 4

And this is when y or f(x) = 0

so you can rewrite each x-intercept as an equation

0 = x + 4

0 = x + 2

0 = x - 4

Now you know each of the terms

f(x) = (x-4)(x+2)(x+4)

n200080 [17]

Answer:

24000 pieces.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Side lengths of cube = $\frac{1}{4} \ foot$

The part of the truck that is being filled is in the shape of a rectangular prism with dimensions of 8 ft x 6 1/4 ft x 7 1/2 ft.

Question asked:

What is the greatest number of packages that can fit in the truck?

Solution:

First of all we will find volume of cube, then volume of rectangular prism and then simply divide the volume of prism by volume of cube to find the greatest number of packages that can fit in the truck.

$Volume\ of\ cube =a^{3}$
