What is the maximum volume in cubic inches of an open box to be made from a 12-inch by 16-inch piece of cardboard by cutting out
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

If you start with a 12x16 rectangle and cut square with side length x, when you bend the sides you'll have an inner rectangle with sides 12-2x and 16-2x, and a height of x.

So, the volume will be given by the product of the dimensions, i.e.

(12-2x)(16-2x)x = 4x^3-56x^2+192x

The derivative of this function is

12x^2-112x+192

and it equals zero if and only if

12x^2-112x+192=0 \iff x = \dfrac{14\pm 2\sqrt{13}}{3}

If we evaluate the volume function at these points, we have

f\left(\dfrac{14-2\sqrt{13}}{3}\right) = \dfrac{64}{27}(35+13\sqrt{13})> f\left(\dfrac{14-2\sqrt{13}}{3}\right) = -\dfrac{64}{27}(13\sqrt{13}-35)

So, the maximum volume is given if you cut a square with side length

x=\dfrac{14-2\sqrt{13}}{3}\approx 2.7

Softa [21]

Answer:

  • Option C
  • Option B

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Let's simplify this further to get our answer.</u>

  • -5/6(12 - 6x + 18y)
  • => -60/6 + 30x/6 - 90y/6
  • => -10 + 5x - 15y

Looking at the options, we can say that Option C and B are correct.

A5 inch x 7 inch photograph is placed inside a picture frame. Both the length and width of the frame are 2x inches larger
My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

8x+24

dimensions of the photograph  

length - 7 inch  

width - 5 inch

dimensions of the photo frame is 2x larger than both width and length  

length - 7 + 2x

width - 5 + 2x

the perimeter is sum of all 4 sides  

Perimeter = 2(7 + 2x) + 2(5 + 2x)

                = 14 + 4x + 10 +4x

                = 24 + 8x

correct answer is 8x+24

First look at the difference of the items sold between the 2 people. Clearly Lizzie sold 9 more boxes of peaches and earned 162 more dollars. We can solve and get that each box of peaches are worth 18 dollars. Then use what we found out --> 4 boxes of apples+1 boxes of peaches = 54 dollars. so 4 boxes of apples are worth 54-18=36 dollars. and thus each box of apples are worth 9 dollars.

Answer: each box of apples are wroth 9 dollars and each box of peaches are wroth 18 dollars. Done!
