The quotient of negative eight and the sum of a number and three

1 answer:

6 0

For this case, the first thing we must do is define a variable.
We have then:
x: real number
Now we write the expression:
-8 / (x + 3)
The number x can be all real different from minus three.
Answer:
-8 / (x + 3)
With x different from -3.

Yuri [45]

The dimensions of the box are 10 ft and 5 ft

The maximum volume is 500 ft³

Step-by-step explanation:

A rectangle box with

A square base and no top
It needs to be made using 300 ft² of material
It has greatest volume

Surface area of a box without top (SA) = perimeter of base × height + area of the base

Volume of a box (V) = base area × height

Assume that the length of the side of the square base is x and the height of the box is y

∵ It needs to be made using 300 ft² of material

∴ The surface area of the box is 300 ft²

∵ Its base is a square of side length x ft

∴ Perimeter of the base = 4 × x = 4 x

∴ Area of the base = x²

∵ The height of the box = y ft

∵ SA = perimeter of base × height + area of the base

∵ SA = (4x)(y) + x²

∴ SA = 4xy + x²

∵ SA of the box = 300 ft²

- Equate the two expressions of SA

∴ 4xy + x² = 300

Now let us find y in terms of x

- Subtract x² from both sides

∴ 4xy = 300 - x²

- Divide each term by 4x to find y

∴ $y=\frac{75}{x}-\frac{1}{4}x$

∵ V = area of the base × height

∴ V = x² × y = x²y

- Substitute y by the equation of it above

∴ $V=x^{2}(\frac{75}{x}-\frac{1}{4}x)$

∴ $V=75x-\frac{1}{4}x^{3}$

∵ The volume of the box is greatest

- That means differentiate V and equate it by 0

∵ $\frac{dV}{dx}=75-\frac{3}{4}x^{2}$

∵ $\frac{dV}{dx}=0$ ⇒ greatest volume

∴ $75-\frac{3}{4}x^{2}=0$

- Subtract 75 from both sides

∴ $-\frac{3}{4}x^{2}=-75$

- Divide both sides by $-\frac{3}{4}$

∴ x² = 100

- Take √ for both sides

∴ x = 10

Substitute the value of x in the equation of y

∵ $y=\frac{75}{10}-\frac{1}{4}(10)$

∴ y = 5

The dimensions of the box are 10 ft and 5 ft

∵ $V=75x-\frac{1}{4}x^{3}$

∵ x = 10

∴ $V=75(10)-\frac{1}{4}(10)^{3}$

∴ $V=750-\frac{1}{4}(1000)$

∴ V = 750 - 250

∴ V = 500 ft³

The maximum volume is 500 ft³

-12 + 45<br> 25 + -77<br> Theres more in pic

miv72 [106K]

Answer

|-12|+|45|=|12|+|45|= 12+45=57

Step-by-step explanation:

When you take the absolute value of a negative number it is the same thing as taking as a positive number. The absolute value is just that number. Once you teach the absolute value of each number perform the operation given In the problem.

The point P(x,y) lies on the terminal side of an angle θ = -60° in standard posistion. What are the signs of the values of x and

lyudmila [28]

Answer:

x positive, y negative

Step-by-step explanation:

-60 is the 4th quadrant of the unit circle ( negative angles go clockwise from 0), so the x value is positive and the y value is negative.
