The maximum volume of the box is 40√(10/27) cu in.

Here we see that volume is to be maximized

The surface area of the box is 40 sq in

Since the top lid is open, the surface area will be

lb + 2lh + 2bh = 40

Now, the length is equal to the breadth.

Let them be x in

Hence,

x² + 2xh + 2xh = 40

or, 4xh = 40 - x²

or, h = 10/x - x/4

Let f(x) = volume of the box

= lbh

Hence,

f(x) = x²(10/x - x/4)

= 10x - x³/4

differentiating with respect to x and equating it to 0 gives us

f'(x) = 10 - 3x²/4 = 0

or, 3x²/4 = 10

or, x² = 40/3

Hence x will be equal to 2√(10/3)

Now to check whether this value of x will give us the max volume, we will find

f"(2√(10/3))

f"(x) = -3x/2

hence,

f"(2√(10/3)) = -3√(10/3)

Since the above value is negative, volume is maximum for x = 2√(10/3)

Hence volume

= 10 X 2√(10/3)  -  [2√(10/3)]³/4

= 2√(10/3) [10 - 10/3]

= 2√(10/3) X 20/3

= 40√(10/27) cu in

The first term is 8 Each term is 4 more than double the previous term.
xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

8*2^(n-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a geometric sequence since we multiply from the previous term.

a_n = a_1 * common ratio^(n-1) where a_n is the nth number and a_1 is the first.

The first term is 8, so we have

a_n = 8*<common ratio>^(n-1) = 8*2^(n-1)

What's 3y + 5 and y + 24
cupoosta [38]
The answer is 4y + 29

The reason we get this as our answer is because it asks us to add these two expressions. Since we are adding, we can set it up to help us get a feel for what it should look like:

3y+5 + y+24

All we have to do to add these two expressions together is <u>combine like terms</u> and that will give us (3y+y) + (5+24) which is equal to 4y + 29

I hope this helped! :))
