Answer: 2 inch dimension will give smallest increase.


Step-by-step explanation:

Length = 3 in

width = 2 in

height = 6 in

Extra cardboard  means to find surface area

on doubling the length

length = 6 In

width = 2 In

Height = 6In

Surface area for the above dimensions = 2 [ 6x2+2x6+6x6] = 120 sq in

On doubling the width

length = 3 in

width = 4 in

Height = 6 inch

Surface area for the above dimensions= 2 [ 3x4+4x6+6x3] = 2[54] = 108 sq inches

On doubling height

Length =3 in

width = 2 in

Height = 12 in

Surface area for above dimensions = 2 [ 3x2+2x12+12x3] = 2[6+24+36] = 132 sq inch

On doubling width surface area is minimum.

Both copy machines reduce the dimensions of images that are run through the machines. Which
leonid [27]

<u>Answer:</u>

<u>As the number of copies increases The dimension of images continues to decrease until reaching 0. </u>

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Remember, that the term dimension refers not to an unlimited/unending length but to a specific measurable length.

Therefore, as both copy machines reduces the dimensions of images that are run through the machines over time the dimensions of images would decrease until reaching 0; Implying that the dimension is so small to be invisible, in a sense becoming 0.

. Over the next two days, Clinton Employment Agency is interviewing clients who wish to find jobs. On the first day, the agency
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Clients are interviewed in groups of 2 on the first day; meaning two persons at a time

Second day, clients are interviewed in groups of 4; meaning 4 persons at a time.

Therefore, if the same number of clients are to be interviewed on each day, the smallest number of clients that could be interviewed each day could be obtained by getting the Least Common Multiple of both numbers: 2 and 4

- - - - 2 - - - 4

2 - - - 1 - - - 2

2 - - - 1 - - - 1

Therefore, the Least common multiple is (2 * 2) = 4

Therefore, the smallest number of clients that could be interviewed each day is 4.

The square of a number decreased by 3 times the number 28 find all possible values for the number
stealth61 [152]

Question:

The square of a number decreased by 3 times the number is 28 find all possible values for the number  

Answer:

The possible values of number are 7 and -4

Solution:

Given that the square of a number decreased by 3 times the number is 28

To find: all possible values of number

Let "a" be the unknown number

From given information,

square of a number decreased by 3 times the number = 28

a^2 - 3a = 28

a^2 - 3a - 28 = 0

Let us solve the above quadratic equation

\text {For a quadratic equation } a x^{2}+b x+c=0, \text { where } a \neq 0

x=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^{2}-4 a c}}{2 a}

Using the above formula,

\text { For } a^{2}-3 a-28=0 \text { we have } a=1, b=-3, c=-28

\begin{aligned}&a=\frac{-(-3) \pm \sqrt{(-3)^{2}-4(1)(-28)}}{2 \times 1}\\\\&a=\frac{3 \pm \sqrt{9+112}}{2}\\\\&a=\frac{3 \pm \sqrt{121}}{2}=\frac{3 \pm 11}{2}\\\\&a=\frac{3+11}{2} \text { or } a=\frac{3-11}{2}\\\\&a=7 \text { or } a=-4\end{aligned}

Thus the possible values of number are 7 and -4
