Answer:
x³ - 9x² + 27x - 27
Step-by-step explanation:
The volume (V) of a cube is calculated as
V = s³ ( s is the measure of the side ) , thus
V = (x - 3)³
= (x - 3)(x - 3)(x - 3) ← expand the second/ third factors using FOIL
= (x - 3)(x² - 6x + 9) ← distribute
= x³ - 6x² + 9x - 3x² + 18x - 27 ← collect like terms
= x³ - 9x² + 27x - 27
Answer:
-1
Step-by-step explanation:
the common ratio in this geometric series is -1
18-42x+49=64
42x=67-64
42x=3
x=3/42
x=1/14or0.0712
