Solve each problem. Volume of a Box A piece of sheet metal is 2.5 times as long as it is wide. It is to be made into a box with an open top by cutting 3 -inch squares from each corner and folding up the sides, as shown at the top of the next page. Let x
represent the width of the original piece of sheet metal. (a) Represent the length of the original piece of sheet metal in terms of x.
(b) What are the restrictions on x?
(c) Determine a function V
that represents the volume of the box in terms of x
(d) For what values of x
(that is, original widths) will the volume of the box be between 600 and 800 cubic inches? Determine the answer graphically, and give values to the nearest tenth of an inch
Answer:
3
Step-by-step explanation:
The natural log is the inverse of the exponential (and vise versa), so ln(e^3) = 3.
(This is the also same as e^(ln3))

Answer:
<h2>x = 7 cm</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
The perimeter of the given triangle:
P = (2x + 1) + (x + 2) + (3x - 9) and P = 36 cm.
Therefore we have the equation:
2x + 1 + x + 2 + 3x - 9 = 36 <em>combine like terms</em>
(2x + x + 3x) + (1 + 2 - 9) = 36
6x - 6 = 36 <em>add 6 to both sides</em>
6x = 42 <em>divide both sides by 6</em>
x = 7
