The sides of two cubes differ by 2 cm and their volumes differ

Mathematics
1 answer:
hichkok12 [17]3 years ago
5 0

The length of the side of the smaller cube is 3.48cm

  • Let the length of the smaller side be x
  • The length of the bigger side will be x + 2

  • Volume of the smaller cube  = x^3
  • Volume of the larger cube  = (x+2)^3

If their <u>volumes differ  by 152 cm^3,</u> then;

x^3 - (x+2)^3 = 153

Expand

x^3 - (x^3 + 3x^2(2^2) + 3x(2^3) + 2^4) = 153

x^3-x^3-12x^2-24x + 16 = 153

-12x^2-24x + 16 = 153

12x^2 + 24x - 16 - 153 = 0

12x^2 + 24 -169 = 0

On factorizing, the value of x is 3.48. This shows that the length of the side of the smaller cube is 3.48cm

HELP !! ASAP !!
Sedaia [141]

Answer:

The roots are;

x = (2 + i)/5 or (2-i)/5

where the term i is the complex number representing the square root of -1

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to use the completing the square method to solve the quadratic equation;

f(x) = -5x^2 + 4x -1

Set the function to zero

0 = -5x^2 + 4x - 1

So;

-5x^2 + 4x = 1

divide through by the coefficient of x which is -5

x^2 - 4/5x = -1/5

We now take half of the coefficient of x and square it

= -2/5^2 = 4/25

add it to both sides

x^2 - 4x/5 + 4/25= -1/5 + 4/25

(x- 2/5)^2 = -1/5 + 4/25

(x - 2/5)^2 = -1/25

Take the square root of both sides

x - 2/5 = √( -1/25

x - 2/5 = +i/5 or -i/5

x = 2/5 + i/5 or 2/5 - i/5
