P = 2(l + w)            formula for perimeter

12 = 2(5w + w)       sub in what we know to create an equation

12 = 2(6w)              solve for w
12 = 12w
12/12 = w
1 = w

The width is 1 inch.

From a square piece of cardboard paper of area size 9 m2 , squares of the same size are cut off from each corner of the paper. T
levacccp [35]

Answer:

Max vol = 2 cubic metres

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that from a square piece of cardboard paper of area size 9 m2 , squares of the same size are cut off from each corner of the paper.

Side of the square = 3m

If squares are to be cut from the corners of the cardboard we have the dimensions of the box as

3-2x, 3-2x and x.

Hence x can never be greater than or equal to 1.5

V(x) = Volume = V(x) = x(3-2x)^2\\= 9x+4x^3-12x^2

We use derivative test to find the maxima

V'(x) = 9+12x^2-24x\\V"(x) = 24x-24\\

Equate I derivative to 0

9+12x^2-24x=0\\x=1/2,3/2

If x= 3/2 box will have 0 volume

So this is ignored

V"(1/2) <0

So maximum when x =1/2

Maximum volume

=9(1/2)+4(1/2)^3-12(1/2)^2\\=2 cubic metres

A county has a goal to build 12,000 bus stop shelters in 48 months . If the county builds 215 bus shelters each month , will it
Leokris [45]

Answer:

No, it will not reach its goal.

Step-by-step explanation:

The main reason why it will not meet its goal is because if you do the math, 215 x 48 does not equal 12000, it equals 10320 which is just 1680 shelters low. Therefore, they will not meet their goal.

I need help on this it’s about trig identities
Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

The answer to your question is:

Step-by-step explanation:

1.-

\frac{1 + sin\alpha }{cos\alpha } + \frac{cos\alpha }{1 + sin\alpha } = 2 sec\alpha

\frac{(1 + sin\alpha)^{2} + cos^{2} \alpha  }{cos\alpha (1 + sin\alpha) }

\frac{1  + 2sin\alpha + sin^{2} \alpha+ cos^{2} \alpha  }{cos\alpha + sin\alphacos\alpha  }

\frac{2 + 2sin\alpha }{cos\alpha+ sin\alpha cos\alpha  }

\frac{2(1 + sin\alpha) }{cos\alpha(1 + sin\alpha ) }

\frac{2}{cos\alpha }

2sec\alpha

2.-

   sec²x - tanxsecx

\frac{1}{cos^{2}x } - \frac{sinx}{cosx} \frac{1}{cosx}

\frac{1}{cos^{2} x} - \frac{sinx}{cos^{2}x}

\frac{1 - sinx}{cos^{2}x }

\frac{1 - sinx}{1 - sin^{2}x }

\frac{1 - sinx}{(1 - sinx)(1 + sinx)}

\frac{1}{1 + sinx}
