<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

During a football game a concession stand sold a family three hamburgers and two hotdogs for a total of $13 it's sold another fa
guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

The price of each hamburger is $3

The price of each hot dogs is $2  .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The total price of 3 hamburger and 2 hot dogs = $13

The total price of 2 hamburger and 5 hot dogs = $16

Let The price of each hamburger = $x

Let The price of each hot dogs = $y

<u>Now, According to question</u>

3 x + 2 y = 13              .........A

2 x + 5 y = 16              .......B

Now, Solving to eq A and B

3 × (2 x + 5 y ) - 2 × (3 x + 2 y ) = 3 × 16 - 2 × 13

Or, (6 x + 15 y) - (6 x + 4 y) = 48 - 26

Or, (6 x - 6 x) + (15 y - 4 y) = 22

Or, 0 + 11 y = 22

∴  y = \dfrac{22}{11}

i.e y = $2

so, The price of each hot dogs = y = $2

<u>Now, Put the value of y into eq B</u>

i.e 2 x + 5 y = 16

or, 2 x + 5 × 2 = 16

or, 2 x = 16 - 10

or, 2 x = 6

∴  x = \dfrac{6}{2}

i.e x = $3

So, The price of each hamburger = x = $3

Hence, The price of each hamburger is $3 and  The price of each hot dogs is $2  . Answer
