Answer:
a. 144 cubic foot
b. 12 ft
c. 18 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the volume of prism A be V_a
and that of prism b be V_b
ATQ, V_a + V_b= 432
also V_a= 0.5 V_b
⇒1.5 V_b= 432
= V_b= 432/1.5= 288 cubic feet
therefore V_a= 144 cubic feet
volume of prism= area of base×height = V_a
24×h = 144
⇒h= 12 ft
A_b= 2/3×24
⇒base area of prism B= 16 sq.ft
now 16×h_b= 288⇒h_b= 288/16= 18 ft
Answer:
Tristan is correct, because he needs to find the possible dimensions for rectangle WXYZ and then divide each dimension by 3.
Step-by-step explanation:
The rectangle ABCD is dilated by a factor of 3 to get the rectangle WXYZ whose area is found to be 72 cm².
Let the dimensions of the dilated rectangle WXYZ are a cm by b cm.
So, ab = 72 ........... (1)
Now, the dimensions of the original rectangle are 3 times lesser than the dimensions of rectangle WXYZ.
So, the area of rectangle ABCD will be 
cm² {from equation (1)}
Therefore, Tristan is correct, because he needs to find the possible dimensions for rectangle WXYZ and then divide each dimension by 3. (Answer)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
A quadratic in factored form is usually expressed as: 
where the sign of a and b depends on the sign of the zero. And I said "usually" since sometimes the x will have a coefficient. Anyways in the quadratic there are two zeroes at x=-1 and x=3. This can be written as: 
. Notice how the signs are different? This is because when you plug in -1 as x you get a factor of (-1+1) which becomes 0 and it makes the entire thing zero since when you multiply by 0, you get 0. Same thing for the x-3 if you plug in x=3. Now a is in front and it can influence the stretch/compression. To find the value of a, you can take any point (except for the zeroes, because it will make the entire thing zero, and you can technically input anything in as a)
I'll use the point (1, -4) the vertex
-4 = a(1+1)(1-3)
-4 = a(2)(-2)
-4 = -4a
1 = a. So yeah the value of a is 1
So the equation is just:
Answer:
x > 6
Step-by-step explanation:
1.) Distribute - 3 through the parenthesis
7x-3(4x-8)<6x+12-9x
7x-12x+24<6x+12-9x
2.) Then collect like terms
7x-12x+24<6x+12-9x
7x-12x+24<-3x+12
7x-12x+24<-3x+12
-5x+24<-3x+12
3.) Move the <u>variable</u> to the left and change the sign
-5x+24<-3x+12
-5x+3x+24<12
4.) Move the <u>constant</u> to the right and change it's sign
-5x+3x+24<12
-5x+3x<12-24
5.) Collect like terms
-5x+3x<12-24
-2x<12-24
6.) Calculate the difference
-2x<-12
7.) Divide both sides by -2 and flip the inequality sign
-2x<-12
x>6
