Answer:

The volume of the larger cube is $V=1,331\ cm^3$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ---> the length of the smaller cube

y ---> the length of the larger cube

we know that

the volume of a cube is equal to

$V=b^3$

where

b is the length side of the cube

we have

$x=y-5$ ----> equation A

The volume of the smaller cube is 216 cm^3

so

substitute in the formula of volume

$216=x^3$

solve for x

$x=\sqrt[3]{216}\ cm$

$x=6\ cm$

<em>Find the value of y</em>

$x=y-5$

$6=y-5$

$y=6+5=11\ cm$

<em>Find the volume of the larger cube</em>

$V=y^3$

substitute the value of y

$V=11^3$

$V=1,331\ cm^3$

Which of the following are solutions to the equation below (5x+1)^2=7?<br><br> Check all that apply.

stiv31 [10]

(5x+1)² = 7; expand: 25x² + 10x +1 = 7 or 25x² + 10x -6 = 0

Solve this quadratic for x:

x = [-b + √(b² - 4ac)]/2a and x = [-b - √(b² - 4ac)]/2a
Plug the values and you'll find :
x = (- √7 - 1)/5 (answer C)
x = (+√7 -1)/5 (answer E)

A rectangular exercise mat has a perimeter of 36 feet. The length of the mat is twice the width. Write and solve an equation to

Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answers are:

- Length

$length=2width=12feet$

- Width

$width=6feet$

- Area

$Area=72feet^{2}$

<h2>Why?</h2>

We are given the perimeter of a rectangular mat, and we are asked to find the area, and write an equation to determine the length, if feet, of the mat. To solve this problem we need to remember the equation of the perimeter of a rectangle, which is:

$Perimeter=2length+2width$

Using the given information we have,

$36feet=2length+2width$

Also, we know that the length is twice the width, so:

$length=2width$

Then, substituting the second equation into the first equation, we can find the width of the mat.

Substituting, we have:

$36feet=2(2width)+2width$

$36feet=4width+2width$

$36feet=6width$

$[tex]\frac{36feet}{6} =width$ \\width=\frac{36feet}{6} =6feet[/tex]

Then, substituting the width into the second equation, we can find the length of the mat,

Substituting, we have:

$length=2width$

$length=2(6feet)=12feet$

Then, finding the area, we have:

$A=length*width=12feet*6feet=72feet^{2}$

Have a nice day!

Write the equation of the line fully simplified slope-intercept form.

FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

y=-4/10x+ 5 or y=-0.4x+5

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for slope is y=mx+b. The "m" is the slope, the "x" is constant, and "b" is your y-intercept.

1. Figure out your slope:

Easiest way to do this is by using rise/run. You. take your point to the left and count how many spaces up or down it is from the second point, and then repeat that across the x-axis.

2. Determine whether it is positive or negative

A line with a positive slope is going to be angled upward and a line with a negative slope will be angled downward

3. Find the y-intercept

Simply look at the graph and find where the line crosses the y-axis

4. Plug everything into the equation

Once you do Steps 1-3, just plug everything in and you're done! If you have any questions, feel free to ask!

What is a3 in an arithmetic sequence in which a10=41 and a15=61

USPshnik [31]

$\bf \begin{array}{llll}
term&value\\
-----&-----\\
a_{10}&41\\
a_{11}&41+d\\
a_{12}&(41+d)+d\\
&41+2d\\
a_{13}&(41+2d)+d\\
&41+3d\\
a_{14}&(41+3d)+d\\
&41+4d\\
a_{15}&(41+4d)+d\\
&41+5d=61
\end{array}
\\\\\\
41+5d=61\implies 5d=20\implies d=\cfrac{20}{5}\implies \boxed{d=4}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\$

$\bf n^{th}\textit{ term of an arithmetic sequence}\\\\
a_n=a_1+(n-1)d\qquad 
\begin{cases}
n=n^{th}\ term\\
a_1=\textit{first term's value}\\
d=\textit{common difference}\\
----------\\
d=4\\
n=10\\
a_{10}=41
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
41=a_1+(10-1)4\implies 41=a_1+36\implies \boxed{5=a_1}$

thus

$\bf n^{th}\textit{ term of an arithmetic sequence}\\\\
a_n=a_1+(n-1)d\qquad 
\begin{cases}
n=n^{th}\ term\\
a_1=\textit{first term's value}\\
d=\textit{common difference}\\
----------\\
d=4\\
n=3\\
a_{1}=5
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
a_3=a_1+(3-1)4\implies a_3=5+(3-1)4$

and surely you know how much that is.
