A baker is building a rectangular solid box from cardboard to be able to safely deliver a birthday cake. The baker wants the volume of the delivery box to be 540 cubic inches. If the width of the delivery box is 3 inches longer than the length and the height is 4 inches longer than the length, what must the length of the delivery box be?
10 inches
9 inches
6 inches
3 inches
Answers
Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
The volume of a box (rectangular prism) is given by:
[tex]\displaystyle V = \ell wh[/tex]
We are given that the desired volume is 540 cubic inches. The width is three inches longer than the length and the height is four inches longer than the length. Substitute:
[tex]\displaystyle (540) = \ell(\ell + 3)(\ell + 4)[/tex]
Solve for the length. Expand:
[tex]\displaystyle \begin{aligned} 540 &= \ell (\ell^2 + 7\ell +12) \\ 540&= \ell ^3 + 7\ell^2 +12\ell \\ \ell^3 + 7\ell ^2 +12\ell -540 &= 0\end{aligned}[/tex]
We cannot solve by grouping, so we can consider using the Rational Root Theorem. Our possible roots are:
±1, ±2, ±3, ±4, ±5, ±6, ±9, ±10, ±12, ±15, ±18, ±20, ±27, ±30, ±36, ±45, ±54, ±60, ±90, ±108, ±135, ±180, ±270, and/or ±540.
(If you are allowed a graphing calculator, this is not necessary.)
Testing values, we see that:
[tex]\displaystyle (6)^3 +7(6)^2 + 12(6) -540 \stackrel{\checkmark}{=} 0[/tex]
Hence, one factor is (x - 6).
By synthetic division (shown below), we can see that:
[tex]\displaystyle \ell^3 + 7\ell^2 +12\ell -540 =(\ell -6)(\ell ^2 + 13\ell +90)[/tex]
The second factor has no real solutions. Hence, our only solution is that l = 6.
In conclusion, our answer is C.

6 inches

Answer:
ABC=112 degrees
DBE=112 degrees
ABE=68 degrees
Step-by-step explanation:
CBD=ABE
ABE=68 degrees
First let's take these as X,
ABC=DBE=X(Vertically opposite angles)
ABC+DBE+CBD+ABE=360(angles around a point)
x + x +68 +68 =360
2x +136 =360
2x =360-136
2x = 224
x =112 degrees

what passes through the points (-1/2 4) and (1/2 6). show your work
Answers
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of line which passes through these points is determined by:
p(x1,y1)=(-1/2,4) p(x2,y2)=(1/2,6)
[tex] \frac{y - y1}{y2 - y1} = \frac{x - x1}{x2 - x1} \\ \frac{y - 4}{6 - 4} = \frac{x + \frac{ 1}{2} }{ \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{2} } \\ \frac{y - 4}{2} = \frac{2x + 1}{2} \\ 2(2x + 1) = 2(y - 4) \\ 4x + 2 = 2y - 8 \\ 4x - 2y + 2 + 8 = 0 \\ 4x - 2y + 10 = 0[/tex]

The height of a triangle is 5 cm more than its base. The area of the triangle is 52 square centimeters. What is the base of the triangle?
Answers
Answer:
the base is 8 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
basically, we need to set up a system of equations.
if we know the area of a triangle is 1/2bh, and that h = b + 5, (because we want them to equal one another in the equation), we can then make two different equations and substitute the h for b.
1/2bh = 52 and h = b+5
subsitute in the (b+5) for the h in the first equation to get
(1/2)(b)(b+5) = 52
multiply both sides by two to get rid of the 1/2
b)(b+5) = 104
now multiply the bs together!
b^2 + 5b = 104
If you know how to factor, we can make this
b^2 +5b -104 and then
(b+13)(b-8) = 0
solve for b to get b = -13, 8, and -13 isn't a real distance, so the only option for b is 8 square centimeters.
Plugging this back into the original equations to get the height (and checking that it is actually right,) we get a height of 13.
When you plug in the 13 and 8 into the area equation, you get
(8)(13)(1/2) = 52
52 = 52
so it works!
lmk if anything is confusing- i know I kind of breezed by the factoring part, but if you have a calculator you can keep dividing 104 by random numbers until you get the right difference if you get kind of lost. The formula
[-b+-sqrt(b^2-4ac)]/2a is another way you could always get the right answer, (from the form Ax^2 + Bx + C), but it's pretty time consuming and I'm not sure whether you've actually learned that yet..
hope that helps! :)

The slope is the same for any segment of the line. The slope from (0, y) to (3, 0) is the same as from (4, 1) to (3, 0).
Δy/Δx = (y -0)/(0 -3) = (1 -0)/(4 -3)
y = -3(1/1) = -3 . . . . . multiply by -3

If a function is defined by the equation y = 1/2x -3/2 , which equation defines the inverse of this function?
Answers
Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
Rearrange the equation making x the subject
y = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] x - [tex]\frac{3}{2}[/tex] ( multiply through by 2 to clear the fractions )
2y = x - 3 ( add 3 to both sides )
2y + 3 = x
Change y back into terms of x with x being the inverse function, that is
y = 2x + 3 → B
