Answer:

V (max)  = 2 ft³

and x side of the base is  x  =  0,5 feet

Step-by-step explanation:  See annex ( two different cubes)

We have a square piece of cardboard of  3 inches wide

Let  x be lenght of side to cut in each corner

Then the base of the (future cube) is    3  -  2x,  and the area is  

( 3 - 2x )²

And  the height   is x  Then volume of the cube as a function of x is:

V(x)  =  ( 3 - 2x )² *x   or       V(x)  =    ( 9 + 4x² - 12x )*x

V(x)  =  4x³  -  12x²  + 9x

Taking derivatives on both sides of the equation

V´(x)  =  12x² - 24x  + 9

V´(x)  =  0       12x² - 24x  + 9  =  0   simplifying   4x² - 8x  + 3  =  0

Second degree equation solving for x

x₁,₂ =  [ 24 ± √( 576) - 432  /24

x₁,₂ =  [24 ±√144 ]/24

x₁,₂ = ( 24 ± 12) /24         x₁  =  1.5 feet        x₂  = 0,5 feet

Of these two values we have to dismiss x₁  because if  x = 1.5 we don´t have a cube ( 0 height )

Then we take x  = 0,5  feet

And

V (max)  =  (2)²*0,5   =  4*0,5

V (max)  = 2 ft³

  exponential function

Step-by-step explanation:

A geometric sequence is a representation of an exponential function.

Create and solve a linear equation that represents the model, where squares and triangles are shown evenly balanced on a balance
Rina8888 [55]

Let the weight of triangle be x units. You are given that the weight of square is 1 unit.

1) On the left side of the balanced beam you can see 3 triangles and 5 squares. The weight on left side is 3·x+5·1=3x+5 units.

2) On the right side of the balanced beam you can see 2 triangles and 7 squares. The weight on right side is 2·x+7·1=2x+7 units.

3) If the whole system is balanced, then the weights on left and right sides are equal:

3x+5=2x+7.

Solve this equation:

3x-2x=7-5,

x=2 units.

Answer: option A
