The Gardenview Hotel is seventeen less than twice the height of the Plaza Hotel. If their combined height is 361 feet, how tall

Answer:

70x-1500

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

Terrence's

Step-by-step explanation:

The cut length of the square corresponds to the box height.

1. a

In Anya's approach: 8.5 - 1.5 = 7, 11 - 1.5 = 9.5; with the height being 1.5, the volume calculates as height x length x width = 1.5 x 9.5 x 7 = 99.75 square inches.

Terrence's method: 8.5 - 3 = 5.5, 11 - 3 = 8. Volume = 5.5 x 8 x 3 = 132 square inches. Clearly, 99.75 < 132 square inches, indicating Terrence's approach would yield a larger volume.

1. b

The dimensions of the box rely on the length, width, and height of the cardboard cutout, thus varying cutting measurements for the same cardboard size can produce different box dimensions.

2. Squares are cut from each corner, thus the combined size of the two squares on the cardboard must be less than the shorter cardboard side. The shorter side is 8.5 inches, which divided by 2 results in 4.25 inches, therefore squares cannot exceed this size. If squares are taken out measuring 4.25 inches, it will leave a strip 2.5 inches wide that cannot form a box.

To cut out squares of 5 inches, how you position them can cause overlap or extend beyond the cardboard. While 5 + 5 equals ten, making the longer side of 11 inches adequate, the 8.5 inches side allows zero room for the 10 inches.

Given:

A quadratic function has a line of symmetry positioned at x = –3.5 with one root located at –9.

To find:

The second root.

Solution:

It is understood that the line of symmetry splits the quadratic function's graph into two identical halves. Hence, both roots are equidistant from this line.

This implies that the line of symmetry passes through the midpoint of the two roots.

Let the other root be denoted as x.

Multiply both sides by 2.

Add 9 to both sides.

Consequently, the other zero of the quadratic function is concluded to be 2.
