Aplastic storage box in the shape of a rectangular prism has a length of x+3, a width of x-4 and a height of 5. represent the surface area of the box as a trinomial in terms of x

surface area = 2x^2 + 18x - 34

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for determining the surface area of a rectangular prism is expressed as

Surface area = 2lh + 2wh + 2wl

Where

l represents the length of the rectangular prism.

h represents the height of the rectangular prism.

w represents the width of the rectangular prism

From the information given,

l = x+3

h = 5

w = x - 4

Surface area = 2 × 5 × (x+3) + 2 × (x - 4) × 5 + 2 × (x - 4) × (x + 3)

= 2(5x + 15) + 10(x - 4) + 2[x^2 + 3x - 4x - 12]

= 10x + 30 + 10x - 40 + 2x^2 - 2x - 24

= 2x^2 + 18x - 34

x =-.20752

step-by-step explanation:

4^(x+2)=12

4^(x+2)=12

take the log base 4 on each side

log 4 (4^(x+2) = log 4(12)

we know log b(a^y) = y log b (a)

(x+2) log 4(4) = log 4 (12)

x+2 = log 4 (12)

we know   logb c = loga c/loga b

we want to convert to base 10   so a = 10

by default, we do not write the 10   c = 4   and b = 10

log4 10 = log 12/log 4

log4 10 = log 12/ log 4

x+2 = log 12/ log 4

subtract 2 from each side

x +2 -2 = log 12/ log 4 -2

x = 1.79248125 -2

x =-.20752
