Answer:

a) The volume in cubic inches is 36000

b) The volume in cubic feet is 125/6

c) The volume in cubic yard is 125/162

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets study the information of the problem to solve it

- The dimensions of the piece of cardboard are 90 inches by 70 inches

- The side of the cutting square is 15 inches

- The squares are cutting from each corner

∴ Each dimension of the cardboard will decrease by 2 × 15 inches

∴ The new dimensions of the piece of cardboard are;

90 - (15 × 2) = 90 - 30 = 60 inches

70 - (2 × 15) = 70 - 30 = 40 inches

- The dimensions of the box will be:

# Length = 60 inches

# width = 40 inches

# height = 15 inches

- The volume of any box with three different dimensions is

V = Length × width × height

∵ The length = 60 inches

∵ The width = 40 inches

∵ The height = 15 inches

∴ V = 60 × 40 × 15 = 36000 inches³

a) The volume in cubic inches is 36000

* Now lets revise how to change from inch to feet

- 1 foot = 12 inches

∵ 1 foot = 12 inches

∴ 1 foot³ = (12)³ inches³

∴ 1 foot³ = 1728 inches³

∵ The volume of the box is 36000 inches³

∴ The volume of the box in cubic feet = 36000 ÷ 1728 = 125/6  

b) The volume in cubic feet is 125/6

* Now lets revise how to change from feet to yard

- 1 yard = 3 feet

∵ 1 yard = 3 feet

∴ 1 yard³ = (3)³ feet³

∴ 1 yard³ = 27 feet³

∵ The volume of the box is 125/6 feet³

∴ The volume of the box in cubic yard = 125/6 ÷ 27 = 125/162  

c) The volume in cubic yard is 125/162

Answer:

3600 cubic inches , 2.08 cubic feet , 0.0771 cubic yards

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we are given that the open box has been constructed from a card board with length 90 inches and width 70 inches by

1. cutting  a square card board

2. of each side 15 inches

Hence when we are done with folding it for our cuboid , we find our new

1. Length = 90-15-15 = 60 inches

2. width = 70-15-15 = 40 inches

3. Height = 15 inches

Now we know the volume of any cuboid is given as

V= Length * width * height

 = 60*40*15

 = 3600 cubic inches

Part 2 . Now let us convert them into  cubic feet

1 cubic inch = 0.000578704 cubic feet

Hence 3600 cubic inches = 3600 * 0.000578704  cubic feet

                                           =2.083 cubic feet

Part 3. Now let us convert them into  cubic yards

1 cubic inch = 0.0000214335 cubic yards

Hence 3600 cubic inches = 3600 * 0.0000214335 cubic yards

                                           = 0.0771 cubic yards

Y = f(x) = 2^x
Virty [35]

Answer:

The value of f(x) when x=-1 is 0.5

Therefore f(-1)=0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that y=f(x)=2^x

to find the f(x) when x=-1 :

That is to find f(-1)

Put x=-1 in the given function f(x)=2^x

f(-1)=2^{-1}

=\frac{1}{2}

=0.5

Therefore f(-1)=0.5

The value of f(x) when x=-1 is 0.5
