Answer:

width = 1.8 in

length =   3.6 in

height =8-3w =8-3(1.8)= 2.6 in

Step-by-step explanation:

A designer is making a rectangular prism box with maximum volume, with the sum of its length, width, and height 8 in

Let l , w and h are the length , width and height

l +w+h=8\\l=2w

Plug it in the first equation

2w+w+h=8\\3w+h=8\\h=8-3w

volume the box is length times width times height

volume = (2w)(w)(8-3w)\\16w^2-6w^3

To get maximum volume we take derivatived

v'=32w-18w^2

set the derivative =0 and solve for w

0=32w-18w^2\\0=-2w(9w-16)\\w=0 , w= \frac{16}{9}

width = 1.8 in

length = 2w= 3.6 in

height =8-3w =8-3(1.8)= 2.6 in

-18(1) = -18,right? 

4(3) = 12, right? 

-18 - 12 = -30

From the looks of it, we had to "Subtract" the outcome of each problem that we went over 

You're correct: -30 (option A.) would be your answer

Can someone help geometry is confusing
NikAS [45]

<LMP and <NMP are supplementary angles so sum = 180

<LMP +  <NMP = 180

(-16x + 13) + ( - 20x + 23) = 180

-16x + 13  - 20x + 23 = 180

-36x + 36 = 180

-36x = 144

    x = -4

<LMP = -16x + 13 = -16(-4) + 13 = 77

<NMP = - 20x + 23 = - 20(-4)  + 23 = 103

Answer

<LMP  = 77°

<NMP  = 103°

Find the 50th term of the sequence 5,-2,-9,-16 ,,,
Mademuasel [1]
Common difference is -2-5 = -7
first term is 5

a_50 = 5 -7(50-1) = -338

2) d = 3 - (-7) = 10
 a = -7

a_110 = -7 + 10(110 - 1) = 1083

d = -27 - (-22) = -5

second -7 - 5=  -12
third = -12 - 5 = -17
