A parcel delivery service will deliver a package only if the length plus the girth (distance around, i.e., perimeter, taken perp

endicular to the length) does not exceed 120 inches. Find the maximum volume of a rectangular box with square ends that satisfies the delivery company's requirements.

Answer:

16,000 cubic inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x, y, z  be the length, width and height of the parcel.  

Since the parcel is a rectangular box with square ends,

y = z and the girth is 4y.

The volume is

V=xy^2

The maximum volume must occur when the length plus the girth equals 120 inches, that is

x + 4y = 120

We want then to find the maximum of the volume.

As

x = 120 - 4y

we have

V=(120-4y)y^2=120y^2-4y^3

Let us find the critical points of V

\displaystyle\frac{\text{d}V}{\text{d}y}=240y-12y^2\\\\\displaystyle\frac{\text{d}V}{\text{d}y}=0\Rightarrow 240y=12y^2

We can assume y>0, otherwise there is no parcel.

Dividing both sides by y:

240=12y\Rightarrow y=\displaystyle\frac{240}{12}=20

Since

\displaystyle\frac{\text{d}^2V}{\text{d}y^2}=240-24y\Rightarrow \displaystyle\frac{\text{d}^2V}{\text{d}y^2}(20)=240-480

and

y=20

is a maximum. For this value of y:

x = 120 - 4(20) = 40

We conclude that the rectangular box with maximum volume that satisfies the delivery company's requirements has the following measures:

Length = 40

Width = height = 20 inches

Volume = 40*20*20 = 16,000 cubic inches.

What is the domain and range of the graph below in interval notation? If union is needed, use Capital U. If infinity is needed u
elena55 [62]

Answer:

DOMAIN: (-\infty,1]\cup(2,\infty)

RANGE: (-\infty,\infty)

Step-by-step explanation:

The domain of a graph is the span of x-values covered by the graph, while the range of a graph is the span of y-values covered by the graph.

DOMAIN:

From the graph, we can see that the x-values covers everything to the left of x=1. Then we stop and then continue beginning at x=2 all the way until positive infinity.

However, note that at x=1, the dot is a closed circle while at x=2, the dot is an open circle. Thus, we will include x=1 into our domain but not include x=2 into our domain.

So, our domain is all values greater than or less than 1, and all values greater than 2.

In interval notation, this is:

(-\infty,1]\cup(2,\infty)

We use brackets with the 1 because we include it in our domain and we use parentheses with the 2 since we do not.

RANGE:

Looking at the graph, it seems that all y-values are covered. The part of the graph on the left covers all y-values less than or equal to 3, while the part of the graph on the right covers all y-values greater than -1. Thus, all y-values are covered.

Our range is all real numbers.

In interval notation, this is:

(-\infty,\infty)

What is the image of ( 0 , -6 ) after a reflection over the line y = x?
Alla [95]

Answer:

(-6, 0)

Step-by-step explanation:

(x, y) over y=x = (y, x)

so (0, -6) will be (-6, 0).
