Jeremy wants to construct an open box from an 18-inch square piece of aluminum. He plans to cut equal squares, with sides of x i
serious [3.7K]

a.

The volume of the box V = 4x³ - 72x² + 324x

Since the dimensions of the square piece of paper are 18 inches each, and we cut out a length x from each side to give a total length of 2x cut from each side. So, each dimension is L = 18 - 2x.

Since the height of the open box is x and its base is a square, the volume of the open box ix V = L²x

= (18 - 2x)²x

= (324 - 72x + 4x²)x

= 324x - 72x² + 4x³

The volume of the box V = 4x³ - 72x² + 324x

b.

The minimum value of length of the sides of the squares cut from each corner is x = 3 inches.

  • the length of the box, L = 12 inches,
  • the width of the box = 12 inches
  • and the height of the box, x = 3 inches.

Since the volume of the box is 432 cubic inches,

V = 324x - 72x² + 4x³

324x - 72x² + 4x³ = 432

4x³  - 72x² + 324x - 432 = 0

x³  - 18x² + 81x - 108 = 0

A factor of the expression is x - 3

So, x³  - 18x² + 81x - 108 ÷ x - 3 = x² - 15x + 36

So,  x³  - 18x² + 81x - 108 = (x² - 15x + 36)(x - 3) = 0

Factorizing the expression x² - 15x + 36 = 0

x² - 3x - 12x + 36 = 0

x(x - 3) - 12(x - 3) = 0

(x - 3)(x - 12) = 0

So,  x³  - 18x² + 81x - 108 = (x - 3)(x - 3)(x - 12) = 0

So, (x - 3)²(x - 12) = 0

(x - 3)² = 0 and (x - 12) = 0

x - 3 = √0 and x - 12 = 0

x - 3 = 0 and x - 12 = 0

x = 3 twice and x = 12

Since x = 3 is the minimum value, the minimum value of x = 3.

Since the length of the box, L = 18 - 2x

= 18 - 2(3)

= 18 - 6

= 12 inches

The width of the box = L = 12 inches

The height of the box = x = 3 inches.

So,

The minimum value of length of the sides of the squares cut from each corner is x = 3 inches.

  • the length of the box, L = 12 inches,
  • the width of the box = 12 inches
  • and the height of the box, x = 3 inches.

Elias has decided to fence in a garden that is in the shape of a parallelogram. If one side measures 76 ft and 250 ft of fencing
Leni [432]

The length of side of garden are 76 feet and 49 feet

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that, Elias has decided to fence in a garden that is in the shape of a parallelogram

Measure of one side = 76 feet

250 ft of fencing is needed to enclose the garden

Therefore, perimeter = 250

<em><u>The perimeter of parallelogram is given by:</u></em>

Perimeter = 2(a + b)

Where, a and b are the length of sides

Here, a = 76

b = ?

<em><u>Substituting in formula, we get</u></em>

250 = 2(76 + b)

250 = 152 + b

2b = 250 - 152

2b = 98

b = 49

Thus the length of side of garden is 49 feet

X^2 - 10x + 8 =0
x^2 - 10 + (-10/2)^2 - (-10/2)^2 + 8 = 0
(x - 5)^2 - 25 + 8 = 0
(x - 5)^2 - 17 = 0
To be honest , this is the final step for this equation. It seems like there is no any suitable answer for this question..
To me , I think the best answer will be the third option.
x - 5 =0
x = 5

2x-10 = 0
2x = 10
x = 5
I guess this answer seems like legit.. So I will choose the third option.
