Answer:

\frac{10}{3} \ inches of square should be cut out of each corner to create a box with the largest volume.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Dimension of cardboard= 16 x 30“.

As per the dimension given, we know Lenght is 30 inches and width is 16 inches. Also the cardboard has 4 corners which should be cut out.

Lets assume the cut out size of each corner be "x".

∴ Size of cardboard after 4 corner will be cut out is:

Length (l)= 30-2x

Width (w)= 16-2x

Height (h)= x

Now, finding the volume of box after 4 corner been cut out.

Formula; Volume (v)= l\times w\times h

Volume(v)= (30-2x)\times (16-2x)\times x

Using distributive property of multiplication

⇒ Volume(v)= 4x^{3} -92x^{2} +480x

Next using differentiative method to find box largest volume, we will have \frac{dv}{dx}= 0

\frac{d (4x^{3} -92x^{2} +480x)}{dx} = \frac{dv}{dx}

Differentiating the value

⇒\frac{dv}{dx} = 12x^{2} -184x+480

taking out 12 as common in the equation and subtituting the value.

⇒ 0= 12(x^{2} -\frac{46x}{3} +40)

solving quadratic equation inside the parenthesis.

⇒12(x^{2} -12x-\frac{10x}{x} +40)=0

Dividing 12 on both side

⇒[x(x-12)-\frac{10}{3} (x-12)]= 0

We can again take common as (x-12).

⇒ x(x-12)[x-\frac{10}{3} ]=0

∴(x-\frac{10}{3} ) (x-12)= 0

We have two value for x, which is 12 and \frac{10}{3}

12 is invalid as, w= (16-2x)= 16-2\times 12

∴ 24 inches can not be cut out of 16 inches width.

Hence, the cut out size from cardboard is \frac{10}{3}\ inches

Now, subtituting the value of x to find volume of the box.

Volume(v)= (30-2x)\times (16-2x)\times x

⇒ Volume(v)= (30-2\times \frac{10}{3} )\times (16-2\times \frac{10}{3})\times \frac{10}{3}

⇒ Volume(v)= (30-\frac{20}{3} ) (16-\frac{20}{3}) (\frac{10}{3} )

∴  Volume(v)= 725.93 inches³

13.50 for food
2.40 for drink

Since there is a voucher for 1/3 of food,

13.50 multiplied by 1/3 is 4.5 which is the discount

13.50-4.5=9

9 is the final cost for the food.

Add 9 to 2.40 for the drink which results in a total of 11.40

To find the amount charged for service you multiply 11.40 by .15

11.40 × .15 = 1.71

You add 1.71 to 11.40

The total is 13.11

A simple random sample of 1000 American adults found that the average number of hours spent watching television during a typical
Anika [276]

Answer:

Larger for the sample of Canadians

Step-by-step explanation:

The larger the sample size, the smaller the standard deviation (sampling variability) associated with the sample means and vice-versa.

The sample of Canadians is smaller, it is expected that their sampling variability is larger than the sample of Canadians based on the rule that as the sample size increases, the standard deviation of the means decreases; and as the sample size decreases, the standard deviation of the sample means increases

How do you do 1/4 (16x+20)-7x
Ira Lisetskai [31]
Distribute the 1/4:
1/4(16x) + 1/4(20) - 7x

Do the multiplication:
1/4(16x) = 16x/4 = 4x
1/4 (20) = 20/4 = 5

Now you have:
4x + 5 - 7x = 0

Combine like terms (4x and -7x):
-3x + 5 = 0

Subtract 5 from both sides:
-3x = -5

Divide by -3:
x = -5/-3 = 5/3

Answer:
x= 5/3
