Represent real-world situations a rectangular piece of sheet metal is rolled and riveted to form a circular tube that is open at

both ends, as shown. the sheet metal has a perimeter of 36 inches. each of the two sides of the rectangle that form the two ends of the tube has a length of x inches, and the tube has a circumference of x - 1 inches because an overlap of 1 inch is needed for the rivets. write a volume function for the tube in terms of x. then, to the nearest tenth, find the value of x that maximizes the volume of the tube. answer

<span>12.3 Volume function: v(x) = ((18-x)(x-1)^2)/(4pi) Since the perimeter of the piece of sheet metal is 36, the height of the tube created will be 36/2 - x = 18-x. The volume of the tube will be the area of the cross section multiplied by the height. The area of the cross section will be pi r^2 and r will be (x-1)/(2pi). So the volume of the tube is v(x) = (18-x)pi((x-1)/(2pi))^2 v(x) = (18-x)pi((x-1)^2/(4pi^2)) v(x) = ((18-x)(x-1)^2)/(4pi) The maximum volume will happen when the value of the first derivative is zero. So calculate the first derivative: v'(x) = (x-1)(3x - 37) / (4pi) Convert to quadratic equation. (3x^2 - 40x + 37)/(4pi) = 0 3/(4pi)x^2 - (10/pi)x + 37/(4pi) = 0 Now calculate the roots using the quadratic formula with a = 3/(4pi), b = -10/pi, and c = 37/(4pi) The roots occur at x = 1 and x = 12 1/3. There are the points where the slope of the volume equation is zero. The root of 1 happens just as the volume of the tube is 0. So the root of 12 1/3 is the value you want where the volume of the tube is maximized. So the answer to the nearest tenth is 12.3</span>

Find a12 of the sequence 1/4, 7/12, 11/12, 5/4
UNO [17]

1/4 = 3/12, and 5/4 = 15/12, so it looks like there's a common difference between terms of 4/12 = 1/3. The the n-th term in the sequence is given recursively by

\begin{cases}a_1=\frac14\\a_n=a_{n-1}+\frac13&\text{for }n>1\end{cases}

By substitution, we get

a_n=a_{n-1}+\dfrac13\implies a_n=\left(a_{n-2}+\dfrac13\right)+\dfrac13

a_n=a_{n-2}+\dfrac23

and doing this again and again until we stop with an expression containing a_1, we find that

a_n=a_1+\dfrac{n-1}3

a_n=\dfrac{4n-1}{12}

Then the 12th term in the sequence is

a_{12}=\dfrac{4\cdot12-1}{12}=\boxed{\dfrac{47}{12}}
