Answer:

Start by calculating the volume of the original prism. The area of the base, B, is 4(6) = 24 m2. Multiply that by the height to get the volume: 24(10) = 240 m3. Now, if you double all of the dimensions, you would have a rectangular prism with a base that is 8 m by 12 m and a height of 20 m. The area of the base, B, is 8(12) = 96 m2. Multiply that by the height to get the volume: 96(20) = 1,920 m3. To compare, look at the ratio of the original prism to the new prism: 96/1,920 = 1/8. The volume increases by 8 times the original volume.

When the dimensions of a rectangular prism will be doubled, its volume won't only be doubled but it will be 8 times as much.

The original volume of the rectangular prism is LxWxH.

V= LxWxH
V= (6m) (4m) (10m)
V= 240m³

If we double the dimensions, the volume would be

V= 2L x 2W x 2H
V= 2 x 6m x 2 x 4m x 2 x 10m
V= 2 x 2 x 2 x 6m x 4m x 10m
V= 2³ (6m x 4m x 10m)
V= 2³ x 240m³
V = 8 x 240m³
V= 1920 m³

The new volume now is 1,920 m³, which makes the rectangular prism larger than the original.

What are the zeros of the quadratic function f(x) = 2x2 + 16x – 9?
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

The zeros of the function are -0.488 and -7.39

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the quadratic function

f(x) = 2x²+16x-9

The zeros of the function is gotten at when f(x) = 0

2x²+16x-9 = 0

Using the general equation

x = -b±√b²-4ac/2a

From the equation, a = 2, b = 16 and c= -9

x = -16±√16²-4(2)(-9)/2(2)

x = -16±√256-72/4

x = -16±√184/4

x = -16+13.56/4

x = -16+13.56/4 and -16.13.56/4

x = --2.44/5 and -29.56/4

x = -0.488 and -7.39

john currently has enough money to buy 45 books. If the cost of each book was 10 cents less.john could buy 5 more books. How muc
SVEN [57.7K]
Let the cost of one book= x cents
Let the money john have= y cents

According to the question,

45x=y                                               ...eq(1)
(45+5)(x-5)=y                                  
50(x-5)=y                                         
50x-250=y                                        ...eq(2)

On subtracting (1) from (2).
(50x-250)-45x=y-y
5x-250=0
x=250/5
x=50

Thus, cost of each book is 50 cents and john has 2250 cents.

Hope it helps.
Don't feel shy in saying thx if it helps.
