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.

Find the value of x please help I give brainly<br> 20 points
fiasKO [112]

Answer:

x=148

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the missing angle by subtracting 100+48 from 180 (all of the angles in a triangle add up to 180). Then, subtract that from 180 (the angles are a linear pair, so they are supplementry, so they add up to 180) x+32=180.

x=148.

ElenaW [278]
12 x^{4} * (- \frac{5}{6} x^{3} y^{2})
Now multiple the coefficients and add the exponents with common bases
12 * - \frac{5}{6} = -10 \\  x^{4} +  x^{3} =  x^{7}
Now write your final expression
-10 x^{7}  y^{3}
Hope I helped!
