The volume of a box like this is found by multiplying the length times the width times the height. We are told that the length is 8 more inches than the width, so the width is w and the length is w + 8. If we cut away 3 square inches from each corner, the height when we fold up those corners is going to be 3. The volume is given as 27, so our formula looks like this:
. When we do that multiplication, we have
. We need to solve for w so we can then solve for h. Move the 27 over and set the quadratic equal to 0.
. We can then factor out a 3 to make the job easier:
. Now we can factor to solve for w. The 2 numbers that add up to 8 and multiply to -9 are 9 and -1. So (w+9) = 0, (w-1) = 0, or 3 = 0. Of course 3 doesn't equal 0, so that's out. w + 9 = 0 so w = -9. w - 1 = 0 so w = 1. There are 2 things in math that can never EVER be negative and those are time and distance/length. So -9 is out. That means that w = 1. But don't forget that there was 6 inches cut off each side, so the width is 1 + 3 + 3 which is 7. The length is w + 8 which means that the length is 7 + 8 or 15. Those are the dimensions of the rectangle before it was cut.
To find the probability, you write a fraction with the number of expected outcomes to total possible number of outcomes.
a) Red - 25/100
b) Purple -55/100
c). There is a 25% or 1 in 4 chance to select a red bulb and a 55% or 5 in 11 chance of selecting a purple bulb.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
To overestimate the area would mean that you completely enclose the circle in squares; an 8 x 8 square to b exact. The area of a square with sides measuring 8 is 64. The overestimation is 64.
To underestimate the area would mean that you only count the squares that are completely inside the circle. That would be a 6 x 6 square (even though the 6th squares are a tiny bit outside the circle). A square with sides of 6 has an area of 36. The underestimation is 36.
Answer:
i think the answer is 146y-202x
Answer:
y = -0.85 + 0.09x; $49.82
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Calculate Σx, Σy, Σxy, and Σx²
The calculation is tedious but not difficult.
2. Calculate the coefficients in the regression equation
To two decimal places, the regression equation is
y = -0.85 + 0.09x
3. Prediction
If x = 563,
y = -0.85 + 0.09x = -0.85 + 0.09 × 563 = -0.85 + 50.67 = $49.82
(If we don't round the regression equation to two decimal places, the predicted value is $50.56.)
