<span>The volume of the box is h(8-2h)(9-2h). Differentiating this gives dV/dh = 12h^2-68h+72. The derivative is zero when h = (17+sqrt(73))/6 or (17-sqrt(73))/6. The second derivative is positive for the first value, so this gives a minimum volume. The second derivative is negative for the second value, so this gives the maximum volume. So the value of h that maximizes the volume of the box is (17-sqrt(73))/6, which is approximately 1.41.</span>

Find the volume of a cylinder with a diameter of 8 inches and a height that is 3 times the radius. Use 3.14 for pi round answer
masha68 [24]

Answer:

603.19

Step-by-step explanation:

v=πr^{2} h

pi is 3.14

Radius= Diameter/2= 4, so r square= 16

Height= Radius*3=12

So volume= 3.14*16*12=603.19

Identify the linear term in the function of y = 2x2 − 5x − 12
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

The linear term is -5x

Step-by-step explanation:

The linear term is the term that has the degree equal to 1.

The given function is

y = 2x^2 − 5x − 12

here 2x^2 = quadratic term i.e having degree 2

-5x = linear term i.e having degree 1

-12 = constant

so, The linear term is -5x
