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

Answer:

A. They have different wavelengths.

B. They have different frequencies.

C. They propagate at different speeds through a vacuum depending on their frequency.

Step-by-step explanation:

Electromagnetic waves have electric and magnetic fields which travel in the free space together. They travel at the speed of light and accelerate by particle oscillates. EM radiations are differently used for different purposes. They are modified in order to create micro waves or radio waves.

Which of the terms cannot be combined with the others?<br><br> -3x<br> 4x 2<br> x<br> 11x
ololo11 [35]
4x^2 cannot be combined with the others if you are using addition or subtraction. However, the other three answers can be combined:
(-3x) + x + 11x = (-3x) + 12x = 9x.
or
11x -x -(3x) = 10x -3x = 7x.
Your answer is 4x^2
Hope this helps!

Liula [17]

Answer:

Should be 1/12

Step-by-step explanation:

7/30x5/14

Simply multiply the numerators and denominators separately:

5/14× 7/30 = 5 × 7/14 × 30 = 35/420

After reducing the fraction, the answer is

1/12
