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.
Answer: 2/5
Step-by-step explanation: Dividing two fractions is the same as multiplying the first fraction by the reciprocal (inverse) of the second fraction
Take the reciprocal of the second fraction by flipping the numerator and denominator and changing the operation to multiplication. Then the equation becomes
The, multiply the numerators and denominators and get 12/30, then simply by 6 and get 2/5
Answer: Number one is C and number two is B
