Perimeter is the sum of all three sides so in this case x+(3x+2)+(3x+2).
They also gave us the perimeter which is 39 so
39= x+(3x+2)+(3x+2)
Simplify so 39=7x+4. [x+3x+3x=7x and 2+2=4]
Then get x by itself so subtract 4 from both sides.
35=7x
Then divide both sides by 7 to get x by itself.
Which leaves us with
X=5
The lowest possible product would be -5625 given the numbers 75 and -75.
We can find this by setting the first number as x + 150, which we see in the equation given above. The other number would have to be simply x since it has to have a 150 difference.
Next we'll multiply the numbers together.
x(x+150)
x^2 + 150x
Now we want to minimize this as much as possible, so we'll find the vertex of this quadratic graph. You can do this by finding the x value as -b/2a, where b is the number attached to x and a is the number attached to x^2
-b/2a = -150/2(1) = -150/2 = -75
So we know one of the values is -75. We can plug that into the equation to find the second.
x + 150
-75 + 150
75
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
So initially you have a square piece of metal, 15" x 15". You cut out squares from the corners of each side with side length x.
So you'll have a sheet that looks something like this now (assuming the formatting works):
_____
__| |__
| |
|__ __|
|____|
Your original side length was 15, but it has now been reduced by x on each side, so you're now going to have a new side length of 15 - 2x
When you fold the box up, the box will have a height of just x.
So you have a base with lengths (15 - 2x) and (15 - 2x), and a height which is just x.
V = l*w*h
So
V = (15 - 2x)(15 - 2x)(x)
= 225x - 60x^2 + 4x^3
Hope this helps
