Answer:
Volume of the box = x^3 - 4x^2
Step-by-step explanation:
V = L × W × H
Where,
V = volume of the rectangular prism
L= Length
W = Width
H = Height
volume of the rectangular prism = length × width × height
Length = x
Width= length = x
Height = x - 4
V = L × W × H
= x * x * (x - 4)
= x^2 (x - 4)
= x^3 - 4x^2
V = x^3 - 4x^2
Volume of the box = x^3 - 4x^2
<span>(1,625) No
(0,-25) No
(-1,-1) No
Think about what an integer exponent means for an negative base and you'll understand this problem. For instance the powers of -25 would be
-25^1 = -25
-25^2 = (-25) * (-25) = 625
-25^3 = (-25)*(-25)*(-25) = -15625
and so on, giving 390625, -9765625, 244140625, etc.
But that's a different subject. For the ordered pairs given, let's check them out.
(1,625)
-25^1 + 1 = -25 + 1 = -24. And -24 is not equal to 625, so "No".
(0,-25)
-25^0 + 1 = 1 +1 = 2.
Note: Any real number other than 0 raised to the 0th power is 1. And 2 is not equal to -25, so "No".
(-1,-1)
-25^(-1) + 1 = 1/(-25^1) + 1 = 1/-25 + 1 = 24/25.
And 24/25 is not equal to -1, so also "No".</span>
