If you start with a 12x16 rectangle and cut square with side length x, when you bend the sides you'll have an inner rectangle with sides 
and 
, and a height of x.
So, the volume will be given by the product of the dimensions, i.e.
The derivative of this function is
and it equals zero if and only if
If we evaluate the volume function at these points, we have
So, the maximum volume is given if you cut a square with side length
1.924 and 5.77
step 1: find the mean by adding up all the numbers and divide the sum by the number of numbers.
step 2: find the difference between each number and the mean, square the difference
step 3: add up all the results of step 2, divide the sum by (n-1), n is the number of numbers.
step 4: square root the result of step 3.
it is a long process.
Answer:
It's A.
Step-by-step explanation:
5x2 + 60x = 0
5x is the GCF so:
5x(x + 12 ) = 0
5x = 0, x + 12 = 0
x =0, x = -12.
