5.Karen is thinking of a number. If she multiplies her number by −3 and then adds 6, she has −4 times the original number. What

is Karen’s number? (Hint: Let x stand for her number, and use an equation to solve the problem.)

-3x+6 = -4x

6 = -x

x = -6

check:

-6*-3 = 18 +6 =24

-6*-4 = 24

number = -6

Vickie made a recipe for 144 fluid ounces of scented candle wax. How many 1 cup candle molds can she fill with the recipe???

vlabodo [156]

1 cup = 8 fluid
So 144 fluid = 144/8 = 16 cups
So 16 cups candle moles she can fill with the recipe.

Determine whether the following is a statistical question.

-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

Yes, the given question is a statistical question.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: statement is "What is the typical height of dog kennels at Keita's Kennels?"

To check: whether the given statement is a statistical question

Solution:

A statistical question is one for which you will generally get more than one answer.

For example "What's the age of the students in your school?" is a statistical question but "What's your age?" is not a statistical question.

The given statement "What is the typical height of dog kennels at Keita's Kennels?" has a single answer only, so the given question is statistical

A box with a hinged lid is to be made out of a rectangular piece of cardboard that measures 3 centimeters by 5 centimeters. Six

kherson [118]

Answer:

x = 0.53 cm

Maximum volume = 1.75 cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

Refer to the attached diagram:

The volume of the box is given by

$V = Length \times Width \times Height \\\\$

Let x denote the length of the sides of the square as shown in the diagram.

The width of the shaded region is given by

$Width = 3 - 2x \\\\$

The length of the shaded region is given by

$Length = \frac{1}{2} (5 - 3x) \\\\$

So, the volume of the box becomes,

$V = \frac{1}{2} (5 - 3x) \times (3 - 2x) \times x \\\\V = \frac{1}{2} (5 - 3x) \times (3x - 2x^2) \\\\V = \frac{1}{2} (15x -10x^2 -9 x^2 + 6 x^3) \\\\V = \frac{1}{2} (6x^3 -19x^2 + 15x) \\\\$

In order to maximize the volume enclosed by the box, take the derivative of volume and set it to zero.

$\frac{dV}{dx} = 0 \\\\\frac{dV}{dx} = \frac{d}{dx} ( \frac{1}{2} (6x^3 -19x^2 + 15x)) \\\\\frac{dV}{dx} = \frac{1}{2} (18x^2 -38x + 15) \\\\\frac{dV}{dx} = \frac{1}{2} (18x^2 -38x + 15) \\\\0 = \frac{1}{2} (18x^2 -38x + 15) \\\\18x^2 -38x + 15 = 0 \\\\$

We are left with a quadratic equation.

We may solve the quadratic equation using quadratic formula.

The quadratic formula is given by

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

Where

$a = 18 \\\\b = -38 \\\\c = 15 \\\\$

$x=\frac{-(-38)\pm\sqrt{(-38)^2-4(18)(15)}}{2(18)} \\\\x=\frac{38\pm\sqrt{(1444- 1080}}{36} \\\\x=\frac{38\pm\sqrt{(364}}{36} \\\\x=\frac{38\pm 19.078}{36} \\\\x=\frac{38 + 19.078}{36} \: or \: x=\frac{38 - 19.078}{36}\\\\x= 1.59 \: or \: x = 0.53 \\\\$

Volume of the box at x= 1.59:

$V = \frac{1}{2} (5 – 3(1.59)) \times (3 - 2(1.59)) \times (1.59) \\\\V = -0.03 \: cm^3 \\\\$

Volume of the box at x= 0.53:

$V = \frac{1}{2} (5 – 3(0.53)) \times (3 - 2(0.53)) \times (0.53) \\\\V = 1.75 \: cm^3$

The volume of the box is maximized when x = 0.53 cm

Therefore,

x = 0.53 cm

Maximum volume = 1.75 cm³
