Solution:

The Given Rectangle having dimensions

Length = 80 cm

Breadth = 50 cm

Let the Six squares which has been cut from this rectangle have side of length a cm.

Area of each square = (Side)²= a²

Area of 6 Identical Squares = 6 × a²= 6 a²

If four squares are cut from four corners and two along Length,

then , Length of Box = (80 - 3 a)cm, Breadth of Box = (50 - 2 a)cm, Height = a cm

Volume of Box =V = Length × Breadth × Height

    V = (80 - 3 a)× (50 - 2 a)× a

     V   = 4000 a - 310 a² + 6 a³

For Maximum Volume

V'= 0 , where V' = Derivative of V with respect to a.

V'= 4000 - 620 a + 18 a²

V' =0

18 a² - 620 a + 4000= 0

9 a² - 310 a + 2000=0

using determinant method

a = \frac{310\pm\sqrt{96100-72000}}{18}=\frac{310\pm155}{18}=\frac{310-155}{18}=8.6 cm

V"=1 8 a - 310 = -ve

which shows , when a = 8.6 cm , volume is maximum.

So, V = 4000×8.6 - 310×(8.6)²+6×(8.6)³=15288.736 cm³

OR

If four squares are cut from four corners and two along Breadth,

then , Length of Box = (80 - 2 a)cm, Breadth of Box = (50 -  3 a)cm, Height = a cm

Volume of Box =V = Length × Breadth × Height

    V = (80 - 2 a)× (50 - 3 a)× a

     V   = 4000 a - 340 a² + 6 a³

For Maximum Volume

V'= 0 , where V' = Derivative of V with respect to a.

V'= 4000 - 680 a + 18 a²

V' =0

18 a² - 680 a + 4000= 0

9 a² - 340 a + 2000=0

Using Determinant method

a = \frac{340\pm\sqrt{115600-72000}}{18}=\frac{340\pm209}{18}=\frac{131}{18}=7.6 cm

V"=18 a -340= -ve value when a = 7.6 cm, shows volume is maximum when a = 7.6 cm

V= 4000×7.6 -340 × (7.6)² +6× (7.6)³=13395.456 cubic cm

Check the picture.

let the length of a side of each of the squares removed be x.

The box formed will have dimensions: 80-2x, 50-2x, x(the height)

So the volume can be expressed as a function of x as follows:

f(x)=(80-2x)(50-2x)x=[4000-160x-100x+4 x^{2} ]x=(4 x^{2}-260x+4000)x

so f(x)=4 x^{3}-260x^{2}+4000x

the solutions of f'(x)=0 gives the inflection points, so the candidates for maxima points,

f'(x)=12x^{2}-520 x +4000=0

solving the quadratic equation, either by a calculator, graphing software, or by other algebraic methods as the discriminant formula, we find the solutions

x=10 and x=33.333

plug in f(x) these values to see which greater:

f(10)=(80-20)(50-20)10=60*30*10=18000 cm cubed

f(33.333)=(80-66.666)(50-66.666)33.333= which is negative because (50-66.666)<0



Answer: 18000 cm cubed

devlian [24]

Answer:

\sqrt{17}\: units

Step-by-step explanation:

d =  \sqrt{ {(2 - 1)}^{2} + {(3 - 7)}^{2}   }   \\  \\ = \sqrt{ {(1)}^{2} + {( - 4)}^{2}   }  \\  \\ = \sqrt{ 1 + 16   }  \\  \\  d=  \sqrt{17}  \\

Use the graph below. Explain why the intervals on the horizontal axis could make the graph misleading
borishaifa [10]

Answer:

(D) I think

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets look at our answer choices; A.

The intervals are not comparable. The shorter bar spans more than 10 years. When it comes to a horizontal axis it doesn't matter how far it expands,just if it's expanded correctly.

B.The intervals are appropriately labeled. There not it goes from 25 to 50 in just in instant few climbs up.

C.The intervals are not comparable, but the data on the graph is not misleading. It is misleading the graphs are incorrectly labeled.

Which brings us to our answer D.The vertical axis does not have an appropriate scale. it goes from 0-25 25-50 and 50-75 then 75-100. that's a short distance for such numbers that are pretty far apart.

I hope I'm right and I hope this helps:)!

Suppose you take $25,000 and deposit some of it into a savings account that pays 2.2% interest. You then take the rest of the mo
FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

The amount deposited in the savings account is $11,494.12

The amount deposited in the CD account is $13,505.88

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, let’s calculate the amount of interest;

Interest = Amount at end of 10 years - amount deposited= 31,648 -25,000 = 6,648

Let the amount deposited in the savings account be $x while the amount deposited in the CD account be $y

Mathematically;

x + y = 25,000 ••••••••••(i)

Now the formula for simple interest is;

PRT/100

where P is the amount deposited, r is the rate and T is the time

On the savings account, amount of interest generated will be;

(x * 2.2 * 10)/100 = 22x/100

On the CD act, amount of interest generated will be;

(y * 3.05 * 10)/100 = 30.5y/100

The addition of both give the total interest;

22x/100 + 30.5y/100 = 6648

Multiply through by 100

22x + 30.5y = 664800 •••••••(ii)

From i, x = 25,000 - y

Substitute this into ii

22(25000-y) + 30.5y = 664800

550,000 -22y + 30.5y = 664,800

8.5y = 664,800-550,000

8.5y = 114,800

y = 114,800/8.5

y = $13,505.88

x = 25,000 -y

x = 25,000 - 13,505.88

x = $11,494.12
