A box has a volume of 1008 cubic inches. Your friend told you that he found the polynomial that represents the volume of the box: 4x³-28x² +144x. If x is the height of the box how tall is the box?
Answer:
7 inches tall
Step-by-step explanation:
A graphing calculator quickly finds the solution to the cubic equation. It is convenient to define ...
f(x) = 4x^3 -28x^2 +144x -1008
so f(x) = 0 gives the value of x that is of interest. That value is x=7.
The box is 7 inches tall.
_____
The equation f(x) = 0 can be divided by 4 to give ...
x^3 -7x^2 +36x -252 = 0
This can be factored by grouping:
(x^3 -7x^2) +(36x -252) = 0
x^2(x -7) +36(x -7) = 0
(x -7)(x^2 +36) = 0
The only real root is x = 7, which makes a factor zero.

For finding solutions to cubic and higher-degree polynomials, I find a graphing calculator to be an extremely helpful tool. Desmos provides an online calculator and apps for various platforms. It may take a little while to learn how to use it effectively, but it can save immense amounts of time and frustration. Of course, your handheld graphing calculator can be just as useful.

Explain why the square root of a number or variable can be either positive or negative.
Answer:
Well, the answer is: it depends on what was printed in the problem. The principal square root symbol never has a negative output, so if the test maker printed that symbol, it’s restrictions have to be respected: all square roots then are positive.
Step-by-step explanation:
a number y whose square (the result of multiplying the number by itself, or y ⋅ y) is x. For example, 4 and −4 are square roots of 16, because 4² = (−4)² = 16. Every nonnegative real number x has a unique nonnegative square root, called the principal square root, which is denoted by √(x), where the symbol √( ) is called the radical sign or radix.
Answer/Step-by-step explanation:
The square root could be positive or negative because multiplying two negative numbers gives a positive number. The principal square root is the nonnegative number that when multiplied by itself equals a. The square root obtained using a calculator is the principal square root.

Write an equation of the line that passes through the pair of points.
(-5,-4), (5,-3)
Step-by-step explanation:
the most common form of line equation is
y = ax + b
a is the slope of the line. it is expressed as the ratio
y coordinate change / x coordinate change
when going from one point to the other.
b is the y-intercept (the y value when x = 0).
once we have the slope, we get b by using the coordinates of one of the given points as x and y in the equation and since for b.
for the slope a :
x changes by +10 (from -5 to 5)
y changes by +1 (from -4 to -3)
the slope is +1/+10 = 1/10
the equation looks now like
y = (1/10)x + b
let's use the first point.
-4 = (1/10)×-5 + b = -1/2 + b
-3 1/2 = -7/2 = b
the equation is
y = (1/10)x - 7/2
so, the second answer option is correct.

Answer:
y intercept is (0, -4)
equation is y = x - 4
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope is rise/run which you can find by choosing "any" two points on the line. For instance (0,-4) and (4,0)
The rise is the difference in y direction: 0 - - 4 = 4, the graph "rises" by 4.
The run is the difference in x direction: 4 - 0 = 4, the graph "runs" by 4.
So the slope is 4/4 = 1.
The y intercept is the point on the y axis where the line passes through. This is (0,-4). The intercept value is y= - 4.
The equation is slope times x plus y intercept value.
So putting this all together gives you an equation of
y = 1·x + -4
a.k.a.
y = x-4
please help me in questions 19, 21, 24 and i’ll mark u as brainliest i promise
Answer:
19. m = -3; f(x) = -3x +5
21. m = 0; f(x) = 9
24. m = -3/2; f(x) = -3/2x +18 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope of the function is given by the slope formula ...
m = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)
The y-intercept (b) can be found from the table when it includes a point (x, y) = (0, b). If the table doesn't have the y-intercept, it can be found from ...
b = y -mx
When m and b are known, the slope-intercept equation is ...
f(x) = mx +b
__
19.m = (11 -14)/(-2 -(-3)) = -3/1 = -3
The slope is -3. The function is f(x) = -3x +5.
__
21.m = (9 -9)/(2 -3) = 0/-1 = 0
The slope is 0. The function is f(x) = 9.
__
24.m = (14 -17)/(3 -1) = -3/2
b = 17 -(-3/2)(1) = 18 1/2
The slope is -3/2. The function is f(x) = -3/2x + 18 1/2.
answer this question!.
Answer:
∠A = 44°
Step-by-step explanation:
Let b represent the measure of the exterior angle at B. Let c represent the measure of the exterior angle at C. The sum of angles in the lower triangle is ...
b/2 +c/2 +68° = 180°
b +c = 360° -136° . . . . . multiply by 2, subtract 136°
b +c = 224°
__
The exterior angle b is the supplement of the interior angle there, so the interior angle B is ...
B = 180° -b
The exterior angle c is the sum of the remote interior angles, so we have ...
c = B +A
c = (180° -b) +A
A = (b +c) -180° . . . . . . . . add b-180° to both sides
A = 224° -180° = 44° . . . . substitute for (b+c)
The measure of angle A is 44°.
_____
Additional comment
The angle naming is perhaps a little unconventional, but we wanted to use names that made the answer less cumbersome to write. We consider the angle A, B, C to be the interior angles of ΔABC, and we have named the exterior angles at B and C as 'b' and 'c'.
Conventionally, 'b' and 'c' would name the sides opposite angles B and C, respectively. We're not concerned with side lengths here, so we used those letters for an unconventional purpose.

Answer will be 1/53 as a fraction, and 0.02 as a decimal.
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to solve this equation, we will first plug in -8 into every x term.
So now we will have:
[tex]f( - 8) = \frac{1}{ - 8 {}^{2} - 11 } [/tex]
{Don't mind the f (-8), just think of it as a sort of place holder.}
Anyways, now we will do -8 × -8, since that's what -8^2 implies:
-8 × -8 = 64
Next do 64 - 11, to get 53.
Now we have 1/53
(You can also divide the numerator by the denominator, to get the answer in decimal form.)

If you treat 2 friends to lunch, the 1st lunch is $12. 35, the 2nd lunch is $14. 22, and your lunch is $11. 47. You want to add a 20% tip. How much will you pay in total?.
The solution is
The total amount for the lunch is given by the equation A = $ 45.648
What is an Equation?Equations are mathematical statements with two algebraic expressions flanking the equals (=) sign on either side.
It demonstrates the equality of the relationship between the expressions printed on the left and right sides.
Coefficients, variables, operators, constants, terms, expressions, and the equal to sign are some of the components of an equation. The "=" sign and terms on both sides must always be present when writing an equation.
Given data ,
Let the total amount for the lunch be represented as A
Now , the equation will be
The amount for the first lunch = $ 12.35
The amount for the second lunch = $ 14.22
The amount for the third lunch = $ 11.47
The percentage of tip = 20 %
So , the total amount for the lunch without tip = $ 12.35 + $ 11.47 + $ 11.47
On simplifying the equation , we get
The total amount for the lunch without tip = $ 38.04
The amount of tip = total amount for the lunch without tip x percentage of tip
Substituting the values in the equation , we get
The amount of tip = 38.04 x ( 20/100 )
The amount of tip = 38.04 x 0.20
The amount of tip = $ 7.608
So ,
The total amount for the lunch A = total amount for the lunch without tip + amount of tip
Substituting the values in the equation , we get
The total amount for the lunch A = $ 38.04 + $ 7.608
The total amount for the lunch A = $ 45.648
Therefore , the value of A is $ 45.648
Hence , the total amount is $ 45.648

From a point on the ground 12 ft. from the base of a flagpole, the angle of elevation of the top of the pole measures 53°. How tall is the flagpole
Answer:
4.75 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the height of the flagpole be x
Sin 53 = x/12
x = 12 × Sin 53
x = 12 × 0.3959
x = 4.75 feet
Answer:
15.9
Step-by-step explanation:
The 12 ft is the adjacent side and you are trying to find the opposite side or the height of the flagpole. You use Tan. Lowercase x means multiply.
Tan 53 = X
--------
12
To get rid of the 12 multiply both sides of the equation by 12. so
Tan 53 x 12 = X/12 x 12
Tan 53 x 12= X
X= 15.9
Of the 120 apartments in a building, 75 have been scheduled to receive new carpet. What fraction of the apartments have not been scheduled to receive new carpet?
1/4
3/8
5/8
3/4
Answer:
3/8
Step-by-step explanation:
Well, let's start out by figuring out how many apartments have not been scheduled to receive new carpet. We know that 75 have been scheduled and that there are 120 total apartments, so the number of apartments that have not been scheduled is 120 - 75 or 45.
Now, we need to find the fraction of apartments that have not been scheduled to receive new carpet. To do this, we divide the number of apartments that have not been scheduled to receive new carpet by the total number of apartments:
[tex]\frac{45}{120}[/tex]
We can divide both sides by a common factor of 15 to find the simplified fraction and determine our answer.
[tex]\frac{45}{120} /\frac{15}{15} =\frac{3}{8}[/tex]
So, 3/8 of the apartments have not been scheduled to receive new carpet.
