The post office will accept packages whose combined length and girth is at most 42 inches. (the girth is the perimeter/distance

around the package perpendicular to the length; for a rectangular box, the length is the largest of the three dimensions.) what is the largest volume that can be sent in a rectangular box? (round answer to 2 decimal places.)

If x represents the length of the box, then 42-x will be the girth. Since the largest area for a given girth is that of a square, the side length of the square cross section is (42 -x)/4.

The volume as a function of package length is then
.. v(x) = x((42-x)/4)^2
This has a maximum at x=14. The corresponding volume is 686 in^3.

If math students typically earn 24 points out of 35 possible on a test, how many points would be typical if there were 100 possi
Lilit [14]

Answer:

68.6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the initial ratio of 24 points out of 35 possible points, you can set up a proportion (equivalent ratios) to find the expected number of points math students would ear on a test of 100 possible points:

\frac{earned}{possible}=\frac{24}{35}=\frac{x}{100}

Where 'x' is the number of points earned on the 100 point test.

Cross-multiply: 35x = 24(100) or 35x = 2400

Divide both sides by 35: 35x/35 = 2400/35

Solve for x:  x = 68.6

How do I find x using a mathematical operation?
Svetradugi [14.3K]
I got this. Bottom of the triangle. that flat line is 180 degrees. you have an angle of 120, leaving an angle of 60. if you look at the top, that angle matches the other. so you have 65 degrees on one side, and 60 on the other. so 180-65-60=55. so X=55

A regression analysis between sales (y in $1000) and advertising (x in dollars) resulted in the following equation y = 50,000 +
Vikentia [17]

Answer:

D. increase of $1 in advertising is associated with an increase of $6,000 in sales.

Step-by-step explanation:

Every dollar in advertisting is multiply by 6 in the equation, but every unit in y represent $1000. That means that $1 1n advertisting is multiply by 6 and then by $1000, that is $1 in advertisting = $6000 in sales.

Please help I will give brainliest to whoever answers this question
pantera1 [17]

Hi!

To solve this, we must make an equation in y = mx + b form, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Since we are looking at a graph with points, it saves us a TON of work, and all we have to do is simply look at the graph. We only need to find m and b, that's it!

M is the slope, and the slope can be represented by the change between points on a line, also known as <em>rise/run. </em>

If we start at point (-4, -1), and go to point (-2, 0), we can see that it goes up 1 and right 2, which would be represented as 1/2.

B is the y-intercept, and that is simply the point that is on the y-axis, which is the point (0, 1), so our number would be 1.

Therefore, plugging these numbers into the equation, our equation is y = <em>1/2</em>x + <em>1</em>

<em></em>

Hope this helps! :D

Calculate the coefficients of the first four terms of the binomial expansion for the binomial (x+y)^28
MakcuM [25]

Consider the following expanded powers of (a + b)n, where a + b is any binomial and n is a whole number. Look for patterns.

Each expansion is a polynomial. There are some patterns to be noted.

1. There is one more term than the power of the exponent, n. That is, there are terms in the expansion of (a + b)n.

2. In each term, the sum of the exponents is n, the power to which the binomial is raised.

3. The exponents of a start with n, the power of the binomial, and decrease to 0. The last term has no factor of a. The first term has no factor of b, so powers of b start with 0 and increase to n.

4. The coefficients start at 1 and increase through certain values about "half"-way and then decrease through these same values back to 1.
