Answer:

dimensions are 36 x 36 x 36

Volume= 46656 inch³

Step-by-step explanation:

Supposing the dimensions x , x and y as the base is a square base.

So, their sum is : x + x +  y= 108

2x + y= 108

y= 108 - 2x --> eq(1)

Also, they are lengths, x,y >0

Next is to determine the maximum volume, the function is

V(x,y)= x.x.y => x²y

By subsitituing value of y from eq(1) in above equation

V(x)=x²(108-2x)

V(x)= 108x² - 2x³

In order to find critical point, take the derivative and set it to zero

V'(x)=  216 x - 6x² = 0

36 - x =0

<u>x = 36 in</u>

Plugging the value of 'x' in eq(1)

(1)=> y = 108 - 2(36)

<u>y= 36 in</u>

Therefore, the  volume of a square based box will be

V= x²y = 36² . 36

<u>V=46656 in³</u>

Jim Tree sells trees. The mean length of the trees purchased was 68 inches with a standard deviation of 10 inches. Jim wants to
Zepler [3.9K]

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that,

Z=\dfrac{X-\mu}{\sigma}

Where,

X = raw score = 84

μ = mean = 68

σ = standard deviation = 10

Putting the values,

Z=\dfrac{84-68}{10}=1.6

The percent of his sales that were less than or equal to 84 inches, is

P(Z\leq 1.6)=0.9452=94.52\%\approx 94.5\%

Therefore, the remaining 100-94.5=5.5% were more than 84 inches.

Write an equation in point -slope form for the line through the given point with the given slope
Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

C) y+2=-1/2(x+4)

Step-by-step explanation:

y-y1=m(x-x1)

m=slope & (x1, y1) is a point on the line

m=-1/2

y-(-2)=-1/2(x-(-4))

y+2=-1/2(x+4)
