<h2>Answer:</h2>

The maximum volume of the box is:

              1000 cm³

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

Let x be the length of the square base

and h be the height(h) of the box.

As we know that the length(l) and width(w) of the box is same( since the base is in the shape of square)

As we know that the surface area of box is given by:

Surface\ Area=2(lw+wh+hl)\\\\\\i.e.\\\\\\Surface\ Area=2(x^2+xh+xh)\\\\\\Surface\ Area=2(x^2+2hx)

We are given surface area of box=600 cm²

Hence,

2(x^2+2hx)=600\\\\i.e.\\\\x^2+2xh=300\\\\i.e.\\\\h=\dfrac{150}{x}-\dfrac{x}{2}

The volume of box is given by:

Volume(V)=l\times w\times h\\\\\\Volume=x^2h\\\\\\Volume=x^2(\dfrac{150}{x}-\dfrac{x}{2})

Hence,

V=150x-\dfrac{x^3}{2}

Now, for maxima or minima we have derivative equal to zero.

i.e.\\\\\\\dfrac{dV}{dx}=0\\\\\\i.e.\\\\\dfrac{d}{dx}(150x-\dfrac{x^3}{2})=0\\\\\\i.e.\\\\\\150-\dfrac{3x^2}{2}=0\\\\\\i.e.\\\\\\150=\dfrac{3}{2}x^2\\\\\\x^2=100\\\\\\i.e.\\\\\\x=\pm 10

Now,

\dfrac{d^2V}{dx^2}=\dfrac{-6x}{2}\\\\\\=-3x

Now, as we know if for a given x

\dfrac{d^2V}{dx^2}

then that x is a point of maxima.

Hence, when we put x=10 we get:  \dfrac{d^2V}{dx^2}

Hence, x=10 is a point of maxima

Also, the value of V at x=10 is:

V=150\times 10-\dfrac{(10)^3}{2}\\\\\\V=1500-\dfrac{1000}{2}\\\\\\V=1500-500\\\\V=1000\ cubic\ cm.

       Hence, the maximum volume of the box is:

                     1000 cm³

pashok25 [27]

Answer:

21

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the answer, you'd have to continue tracing the diagonal line until it intersects with the vertical line that corresponds to the number 3.

If you do that, you'll see that in3 boxes, there are 21 footbals.


You can also calculate it mathematically:

If you have 7 balls per box as shown in the graph, you just have to multiply 7 by 3 to know how many balls you'll find in 3 boxes. 7 * 3 = 21.



Hope it helped,

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the exponent rule

Simplifying the top of the fraction

5^2*5*5^3=5^2+1+3=5^6

Simplifying the bottom of the fraction 5^4*5=5^4+1=5^5

Our simplified fraction is 5^6/5^5, which is just 5^6-5 which is 5^1 or 5.

Therefore, the answer is 5.
