A cube has side length x. One side of the cube is increased by 4 inches, and another side is doubled. The volume of the new rectangular prism is 450 cubic inches. The equation 2y3+8x2-450 can be used to find x. What was the side
length of the original cube? Use a graphing calculator and a system of equations to find the answer.
O 4 inches
O5 inches
O 9 inches
O 10 inches

  (b)  5 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

A graphing calculator makes short work of the problem. No system of equations is needed.

The volume of the new prism is ...

  V = LWH

  450 = x(x+4)(2x)

  x(2x)(x+4) -450 = 0 . . . . . equation for graphing

The only real solution is x = 5.

The side length of the original cube was 5 inches.

vertical asymptote .

horizontal asymptote .

step-by-step explanation:

given function is .

vertical asymptote is given by setting

denominator =0

when degree of numerator and denominator are same then divide first term of numerator by first term of denominator to get horizontal asymptote.

192/15 = 12.8.

12.8

step-by-step explanation:

192/15 is 12.8.

however, it says to round to the nearest foot, which would equal 13.
