Answer:

The maximum volume of such box is 32m^3

V = x×y×z = 32 m^3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

Total surface area S = 48m^2

Volume of a rectangular box V = length×width×height

V = xyz ......1

Total surface area of a rectangular box without a lid is

S = xy + 2xz + 2yz = 48 .....2

To be able to maximize the volume, we need to reduce the number of variables.

Let assume the rectangular box has a square base,that means; length = width

x = y

Substituting y with x in equation 1 and 2;

V = x^2(z) ....3

x^2 + 4xz = 48 .....4

Making z the subject of formula in equation 4

4xz = 48 - x^2

z = (48 - x^2)/4x .......5

To be able to maximize V, we need to reduce the number of variables to 1, by substituting equation 5 into equation 3

V = x^2 × (48 - x^2)/4x

V = (48x - x^3)/4

differentiating V with respect to x;

V' = (48 - 3x^2)/4

At the maximum point V' = 0

V' = (48 - 3x^2)/4 = 0

Solving for x;

3x^2 = 48

x = √(48/3)

x = √(16)

x = 4

Since x = y

y = 4

From equation 5;

z = (48 - x^2)/4x

z = (48 - 4^2)/4(4)

z = 32/16

z = 2

The maximum volume can be derived by substituting x,y,z into equation 1;

V = xyz = 4×4×2 = 32 m^3

given the vector with a manitude of 9m at an angle a of -80 degrees, decompose this vector into two vector components oarallel t
lana [24]

Answer:

We have the magnitude, M, and the angle A.

(The angle is always measured from the +x-axis)

Then we have that:

x = M*cos(A)

y = M*sin(A)

in this case:

M = 9m

A = -80°

x = 9m*cos(-80°) = 1.562

y = 9m*sin(-80) = -8.86m

Now, the component parallel to the x axis is:

x = 9m*cos(-80°) = 1.562 m

And the slope of something parallel to the x-axis is always zero, as this is a constant line.

nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

B) ∠A and ∠B

Step-by-step explanation:

AB is the line segment formed with endpoints at A and B.  This means it lies between the angle with vertex at A, ∠A, and the angle with vertex at B, ∠B.

Someone please help I really appreciate it

So you have to find the relationship between the pumpkin diameter (y) and the number of weeks passed (x) in a table, lets do it taking into account that the equation modeling such behaviour is:
y = 2x + 6, where x is the number of weeks and plus original 6 cm
x                                y                            
week                         diameter
0                                6
1                                8
3                                12
5                                16
10                               26
substitute the x and y values in the equation to see how they fit into it
