An open-top rectangular box with square base is to be made from 100 square feet of material, as shown.
-Dominant- [34]

The largest possible volume of the given box is; 96.28 ft³

<h3>How to maximize volume of a box?</h3>

Let b be the length and the width of the base (length and width are the same since the base is square).

Let h be the height of the box.

The surface area of the box is;

S = b² + 4bh

We are given S = 100 ft². Thus;

b² + 4bh = 100

h = (100 - b²)/4b

Volume of the box in terms of b will be;

V(b) = b²h = b² * (100 - b²)/4b

V(b) = 25b - b³/4

The volume is maximum when dV/db = 0. Thus;

dV/db = 25 - 3b²/4

25 - 3b²/4 = 0

√(100/3) = b

b = 5.77 ft

Thus;

h = (100 - (√(100/3)²)/4(5.77)

h = 2.8885 ft

Thus;

Largest volume = [√(100/3)]² * 2.8885

Largest Volume = 96.28 ft³

You made two deposits to your bank account this month. One deposit was $24.61, and the second deposit was $16.49. Your balance a
Rina8888 [55]

The <em><u>correct answer</u></em> is:

$72.31 – $24.61 – $16.49; $31.21

Explanation:

We know we end the month with $72.31.

We made two deposits during the month and no other activity.  This means if we take the amounts of the deposits away from the total at the end of the month, we can find how much we had at the beginning of the month:

72.31-24.61-16.49 = 31.21

What is the distance between (–4, –10) and (–4, –4)?
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

6 units

Step-by-step explanation:

(-4 , -10) ; (-4 , -4)

Distance = \sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^{2}+(y_{2}-y_{1})^{2}}

               = \sqrt{(-4-[-4])^{2}+(-4-[-10])^{2}}\\\\= \sqrt{(-4+4)^{2}+(-4+10)^{2}}\\\\=\sqrt{0+(6)^{2}}\\\\= \sqrt{36}\\\\= 6
