Answer:
scale factor is: 2.25
Step-by-step explanation:
Step-by-step explanation:
Part A:
So the height is going to be x when you fold the sides up. So that's one part of the volume but for the width it was going to be 4 but since two corners were cut out with the length x the new width is going to be (4-2x). The same thing applies for the length which should be 8 inches but since two corners were removed with the length x it's now (8-2x)
v = x(4-2x)(8-2x)
Part B:
The volume can be graphed although there must be a domain restriction since the height, width, or length cannot be negative. So let's look at each part of the equation
so for the x in front it must be greater than 0 to make sense
for the (4-2x), the x must be less than 2 or else the width is negative.
for the (8-2x) the x must be less than 4 or else the length is negative
so the domain is going to be restricted to 0 < x < 2 so all the dimensions are greater than 0
By using a graphing calculator you can see the maximum of the given equation with the domain restrictions is 0.845 which gives a volume of 12.317
Answer: The slope is: "3" ; which does not appear among the answer choices given.
______________________________________________
The slope, "m" is calculated as follows:
___________________________________
Given two coordinates on a line;
m = (y₂ − y₁) / (x₂ − x₁) ;
__________________________________________
We are given the following 2 (TWO) coordinates:
__________________________________________
1) (5,2) ; which is: (x₁ ,y₁) ; so x₁ = 5 ; y₁ = 2 ; AND:
2) (7,8); which is: (x₂ ,y₂) ; so x₂ = 7; y₂ = 8 ;
_____________________________________________
So; m = (y₂ − y₁) / (x₂ − x₁) = (8−2) /.(7−5) = 6/2 = 3 .
m = 3. The slope is: 3 ; which does not appear among the answer choices given.

Alternately,
______________________________________________
We are given the following 2 (TWO) coordinates:
__________________________________________
1) (7,8) ; which is: (x₁ ,y₁) ; so x₁ = 7 ; y₁ = 8 ; AND:
2) (5,2); which is: (x₂ ,y₂) ; so x₂ = 5; y₂ = 2 ;
______________________________________________
So; m = (y₂ − y₁) / (x₂ − x₁) = (2−8) / (5−7) = -6/-2 = 3 .
m = 3. The slope is 3 ; which does not appear among the answer choices given.
