Answer:
a = 1
b = -1
Step-by-step explanation:
First, let's make equations out of those given f(x)'s
-4 = -3a + b
2 = 3a + b
We can use elimination method to get rid of the a real quick
-4 = b
2 = b
Add those together
-2 = 2b
Divide both sides by 2
-2/2 = 2b/2
b = -1
Plug in the new b in one of the original equations; I'm gonna use the bottom one
2 = 3a - 1
+ 1 + 1
3 = 3a
3/3 = 3a/3
a = 1
The volume of the second prism is also ten times the volume of the first prism.
Let's assume that both prisms have:
width = 3 units
height = 4 units
Prism 1 length = 5 units
Prism 2 length = 50 units
Let's solve their respective volumes to compare...
Volume of prism 1 = length * width * height
= 5 * 3 * 4
= 60 units ^3
Volume of prism 2 = 50 * 3 * 4
= 600 units ^3
Prism 2/ prism 1 = 10
That means prism 2 is ten times the volume of prism 1.
80%, 1000-200 = 800/1000 or 80%
Lying in the same straight line i think..
