Answer:

14.5 ≥ g(1.5)

g = The number of trips to the grocery store.

You will have 11.5 gallons left.

The width of a box in the shape of a rectangular prism is 4 inches more than the height h . The length is the difference of 9 in

Doss [256]

Answer:

$(a)$ $V = -H^3+ 5H^2 + 36H$

$(b)$ $Length = 5in; Width = 9in; Height = 5in$ or $Length = 3in; Width = 10in; Height = 6in$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let:

$W=Width; L = Length; H = Height$

Given

$W = 4 + H$

$L = 9 - H$

Solving (a): The polynomial for the volume in terms of height

Volume (V) is calculated using:

$V = L * W * H$

$V = (9 - H) * (4 + H) * H$

Expand

$V = (9 - H) * (4H + H^2)$

Open brackets

$V = 36H + 9H^2 - 4H^2 - H^3$

$V = 36H + 5H^2 - H^3$

Rewrite as:

$V = -H^3+ 5H^2 + 36H$

Solving (b): The dimensions when Volume = 180

Substitute 180 for V in: $V = -H^3+ 5H^2 + 36H$

$180 = -H^3+ 5H^2 + 36H$

Rewrite as:

$H^3 - 5H^2 - 36H + 180 = 0$

Factorize:

$H^2(H - 5) - 36(H - 5) = 0$

$(H^2 - 36)(H - 5) = 0$

Express $H^2 - 36$ as difference of two squares

$(H - 6)(H + 6)(H - 5) =0$

This gives:

$H - 6 =0==> H = 6$

$H + 6 =0==> H = -6$

$H - 5 =0==> H = 5$

Since the height can not be negative, then H = 5 or H = 6

Recall that:

$W = 4 + H$

$L = 9 - H$

When H = 5

$W = 4 + 5 = 9$

$L = 9 - 5 = 4$

When H = 6

$W = 4 + 6 = 10$

$L = 9 - 6 = 3$

Hence, the dimensions of the box are:

$Length = 5in; Width = 9in; Height = 5in$

or

$Length = 3in; Width = 10in; Height = 6in$

20 points AND brainliest. Write an equation in slope intercept form to represent the table above. For example: y = 36x + 36. Ple

DENIUS [597]

Answer:

This is a ratio table,so therefore there is always a pattern.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve,you have to find the constant in the question,such as 30,40,50,and 60.The constant in this example is 10.When the constant is <u>not</u> even,or the numbers are <u>not</u> even,that's the time you pull out your notebook multiplication chart.Look at the numbers,and see if those numbers are on the chart.If all of them are on the chart,then see if one or both of the multiplicable numbers fall under the category of your variables.If all are under one number,then that number is your answer.
