The sequence an=an−1+2 is an arithmetic sequence

The first three terms in the sequence are (a) 8, 10, 12

<h3>How to determine the first three terms?</h3>

The sequence is given as:

an=an−1+2

Where:

a1 =8

Start by calculating a2 using:

a2=a1+2

This gives

a2=8+2 = 10

Calculate a3 using:

a3=a2+2

This gives

a3=10+2 = 12

So, we have:

a1 = 8, a2 = 10 and a3 = 12

Hence, the first three terms in the sequence are (a) 8, 10, 12

A manufacturer wants to make open tin boxes from pieces of tin with dimensions 8 in. by 15 in. by cutting equal squares from the

Stells [14]

Answer:

$\frac{5}{3}$ in

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the side of square.

Length of box=8-2x

Width of box=15-2x

Height of box=x

Volume of box= $L\times B\times H$

Substitute the values then we get

Volume of box=V(x)= $(8-2x)(15-2x)x=(15x-2x^2)(8-2x)$

$V(x)=120x-30x^2-16x^2+4x^3$

$V(x)=4x^3-46x^2+120x$

Differentiate w.r.t x

$V'(x)=12x^2-92x+120$

$V'(x)=0$

$12x^2-92x+120=0$

$3x^2-23x+30=0$

$3x^2-18x-5x+30=0$

$3x(x-6)-5(x-6)=0$

$(x-6)(3x-5)=0$

$x-6=0\implies x=6$

$3x-5=0\implies x=\frac{5}{3}$

Again differentiate w.r.t x

$V''(x)=24x-92$

Substitute x=6

$V''(6)=24(6)-92=52>0$

Substitute x=5/3

$V''(5/3)=24(5/3)-92=-52$

Hence, the volume is maximum at x= $\frac{5}{3}$

Therefore, the side of the square , $x=\frac{5}{3}$ in cutout that gives the box the largest possible volume.

Abdul is creating a cushion that is 1 foot by 2 feet by 3 feet. He wants to find the least amount of fabric he will need to cove

netineya [11]

Answer:

The least amount of fabric are 22 square feet

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The surface area of a rectangular prism is given by the formula

$SA=2B+PH$

where

B is the area of the base

P is the perimeter of the base

H is the height of the prism

Let

L ---> the length pf the prism

W ---> the width of the prism

H ---> is the height of the prism

Let

$L=2\ ft\\W=3\ ft\\H=1\ ft$

Find the area of the base

$B=LW=(2)(3)=6\ ft^2$

Find the perimeter of the base

$P=2(L+W)=2(2+3)=10\ ft$

Find the surface area

$SA=2(6)+10(1)=22\ ft^2$

therefore

The least amount of fabric are 22 square feet
