2x^2-12x+18=0

Factor out GCF
2(x^2-6x+9)

Factor trinomial
(x-3)(x-3)

Proof
-3-3=-6
-3^2=9

Zeros
x-3=0
x=3

Final answer: B

1. You already did it.
2. Table
3. t (years since 1990)
4. n (# of cigarettes sold)
5. (t, n)
6. You can see the distribution of the data pretty neatly. There are also many more advantages including it's easier to calculate standard deviation, easier to see the mean, mode and median, and it's also much easier to just tell the extrema of the dataset by just looking at the scattergram.

A closed, rectangular-faced box with a square base is to be constructed using only 36 m2 of material. What should the height h a

kkurt [141]

Answer:

$b=h=\sqrt{6}$ m

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

Bas length of box=b

Height of box=h

Material used in constructing of box=36 square m

We have to find the height h and base length b of the box to maximize the volume of box.

Surface area of box= $2b^2+4bh$

$2b^2+4bh=36$

$b^2+2bh=18$

$2bh=18-b^2$

$h=\frac{18-b^2}{2b}$

Volume of box, V= $b^2h$

Substitute the values

$V=b^2\times \frac{18-b^2}{2b}$

$V=\frac{1}{2}(18b-b^3)$

Differentiate w. r.t b

$\frac{dV}{db}=\frac{1}{2}(18-3b^2)$

$\frac{dV}{db}=0$

$\frac{1}{2}(18-3b^2)=0$

$\implies 18-3b^2=0$

$\implies 3b^2=18$

$b^2=6$

$b=\pm \sqrt{6}$

$b=\sqrt{6}$

The negative value of b is not possible because length cannot be negative.

Again differentiate w.r.t b

$\frac{d^2V}{db^2}=-3b$

At $b=\sqrt{6}$

$\frac{d^2V}{db^2}=-3\sqrt{6}$

Hence, the volume of box is maximum at $b=\sqrt{6}$ .

$h=\frac{18-(\sqrt{6})^2}{2\sqrt{6}}$

$h=\frac{18-6}{2\sqrt{6}}$

$h=\frac{12}{2\sqrt{6}}$

$h=\sqrt{6}$

$b=h=\sqrt{6}$ m
