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

Tangerine is simply color orange, which is an addition of red and yellow colors. To analyze if the portions written below are reasonable, the given sum must equal to the sum of the individual red and yellow parts.

Total Red + Total Yellow = 5(3/10)
3(9/10) + 2(3/8) ? 5(3/10
3.45 ? 1.5
3.45 ≠ 1.5

<em>Since they are not equal, then it means the portions are unreasonable.</em>

weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

3+n

Step-by-step explanation:

Simple questions but it can be technical atimes, according to the question we are to solve in terms of n, simple...

The sum of 3 and n can be written as 3+n

This cannot be solved further because there are two different variables and it is impossible to add them together

Therefore the final answer is 3+n

But in case a value is given for n we can then substitute and solve further

Hope this will help you

Pls help I can't do anything I will give the brain thingy
Sidana [21]

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Blank</u><u> </u><u>C</u> :

Given total = 68

No. of TV news = 13

Therefore, in Internet it would be = Total - TV news

= 68 - 13 = <u>55 (ans)</u>

<u>Blank</u><u> </u><u>D</u> :

No. of Internet news in 7th grade = 55

No. of Internet news in 8th grade = 64

Hence, total Internet base news = 64 + 55 = <u>119 (ans)</u>

<u>Blank</u><u> </u><u>B</u> :

All total = 138

Internet news total = 119

Hence, TV news total = All total - Internet news

= 138 - 119 = <u>19 (ans)</u>

<u>Blank</u><u> </u><u>A</u> :

No. of TV news in 7th grade = 13

Total news in TV = 19

Therefore, no. of TV news in 8th grade = 19 - 13 = <u>6(ans)</u>

<u>Blank</u><u> </u><u>E</u> :

All total = 138

Total of 7th grade news = 68

Hence, total of 8th grade news = 138 - 68

= <u>70 (ans)</u>
