<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

Can someone explain thoroughly how I am meant to solve this?
BartSMP [9]

Answer:

I got x<equal to -11 or x>equal to4

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2+15x+44=0

(x+4)(x+11)=0(Factor left side of equation)

x+4=0 or x+11=0(Set factors equal to 0)

x=−4 or x=−11

Check intervals in between critical points. (Test values in the intervals to see if they work.)

x<−11(Works in original inequality)

−11<x<−4(Doesn't work in original inequality)

x>−4(Works in original inequality)

Answer:

x<−11 or x>−4
