a rectangular piece of metal is 15in longer then it is wide. squares with sides 3in long are cut from the four corners and the flaps are folded upward to form an open box. if the volume of the box is 1092in cubed what were the original dimensions of the piece of metal?

Answers

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x equal the width of the box and x + 15 equal the length of the box.  Subtract 6 (the amount cut out) from both of the these to get the following terms: (x+9) and (x-6).  These are the length and width of the box respectively.  We also know that the height of the box is 3.  Plugging these into the formula for the volume of a box gives you:

3(x+9)(x-6)=1092

Expanding this out gives:

3x^2+9x-162=1092

Subtract 1092 from both sides to make the quadratic equation equal zero.  Plug the a, b and c coefficients into the quadratic formula (or factor) to find x.

3x^2 +9x-1254 = 0

a = 3       b = 9        c = -1254

I hope this helps :)

Convert 10 mL/sec to L/min

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

1000 mL = 1 L

10 mL = 1/1000 × 10 = 0.01 L/sec

60 sec = 1 min

1 sec = 1/60 min

0.01 L/sec

= 0.01 L × 60

= 0.6 L/min

10 mL/sec = 0.6 L/min

Randy is four times as old as Kenneth and Randy is 36 years older than Kenneth
i) How old is Kenneth?
ii) How old is Randy?​

Answers

Answer:

Kenneth: 12 years old

Randy: 48 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem, we can use system of equations to solve. Let's use r for Randy and k for Kenneth.

Equation 1

r=4k

This equation comes from the first part, where Randy is four times as old as Kenneth.

Equation 2

r=36+k

This equation comes from the second part, where Randy is 36 years older than Kenneth.

Since we have r=, we can use substitution method.

4k=36+k                   [subtract both sides by k]

3k=36                       [divide both sides by 3]

k=12

Now that we have found k, we can plug that into any equation to find r.

r=4(12)                      [multiply]

r=48

Now, we know that Randy is 48 years old and Kenneth is 12 years old.

How do I rewrite a quadratic into graphing form

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

Standard form of a quadratic is f(x) = ax² + bx + c.

To convert to vertex form, the simplest method is to find the x-coordinate of the vertex using h = -b/(2a).

Then, plug back into the equation to find the y-coordinate of the vertex.  k = f(h).

Finally, the leading coefficient is the same as the standard form, a.

f(x) = a(x − h)² + k

Another method is to complete the square.

given a right-angled triangle with perimeter 18. The sum of the squares of the three side lengths is 128. What is the area of the triangle ? ​

Answers

Answer:

9units²

Step-by-step explanation:

A triangle has 3 sides. Let the length of the three sides be a, b, c.

If the perimeter of the triangle is 18, then;

P = a+b+c

a+b+c = 18... 1

If the sum of the squares of the three side lengths is 128, this means;

a²+b²+c² = 128... 2

Since the triangle is also right angled, according to Pythagoras theorem;

c² = a²+b²... 3 (taking c as the hypotenuse)

Substitute equation 3 into 2;

(a²+b²)+c² = 128

c²+c² = 128

2c² = 128

c² = 128/2

c² = 64

c = √64

c = 8

Substituting c = 8 into 1

a+b+c = 18

a+b+8=18

a+b = 10 ...... 3

Substituting c = 8 into 2

a²+b²+c² = 128

a²+b²+8² = 128

a²+b²+64 = 128

a²+b²= 64..... 4

Solve equation 3 and 4 simultaneously;

a+b = 10

a²+b²= 64

From 4; a = 10-b

Substitute a = 10-b into 4;

(10-b)²+b² = 64

100-20b+b²+b² = 64

2b²-20b+100-64 = 0

2b²-20b+36 = 0

Divide through by 2:

b²-10b+18 = 0

b = 10±√10²-4(18)/2

b = 10±√100-72/2

b =( 10±√28)/2

b =(10±√4×7)/2

b = (10±2√7)/2

b = 5±√7

Hence b = 5+√7

If a+ b = 10

a+(5+√7 ) = 10

a = 10-(5+√7)

a = 10-5-√7

a = 5-√7

Area of the triangle A = 1/2 ab

A = 1/2 × (5+√7) × (5-√7)

A = 1/2 × (25-5√7+5√7-7)

A = 1/2 × (25-7)

A = 1/2 × 18

A = 9

Hence the are of the triangle is 9units²

Step-by-step explanation:

You times the two numbers and add a negative sign in front of it

8 would be a negative in this situation and 4 would be a positive. So the problem would look like this:

-8 x 4 = ?

For this particular problem, we would do 8 x 4 which would equal 32. Then we would try to find which one has the greater absolute value.

Absolute Value:

4 = 4

-8 = |8|

Since -8 has the greater absolute value, the answer would be negative.

8. Why is it NOT useful to view science as a set of facts?

Answers

Answer:
(assuming this isn't actually for math?) but one reason is bc science shouldn't be always taken as fact. science can be wrong.

Explanation:
not all but many scientists are skeptical and won't accept anything without proof, and even when things are accepted as right they can still be wrong later. example: humans once believed the planets revolved around the earth and that the earth was flat (even, some people still believe the earth is flat today....) but both those things are generally unaccepted today.

science shouldn't be viewed as fact always, because accepting everything as fact will lead to misassumptions and false information. it's like we should never take things for granted

This is my honest opinion

Science is not just facts. Science, to me, is full of theories and hypotheses that can be proved wrong. Yes, a majority of it is actually factual, but in the future it may or may not be true.
