A designer is creating various open-top boxes by cutting four equally-sized squares from the corners of a standard sheet of 8.5

inch by 11 inch paper, and then folding up and securing the resulting 'flaps' to be the sides of the box. Let x represent the varying side length of the square cutouts in inches. Let l , w , and h represent the varying length, width and height of the box (in inches), respectively. Note that the width and length dimensions are such that w < l . Let V represent the varying volume of the box in cubic inches. Write formulas for length, width, and volume of the box, each in terms of x .

Answer:

L(x) = 11 - 2x

W(x) = 8.5 - 2x

V(x) = 4x³ - 39x² + 93.5x

Step-by-step explanation:

If a square of x sides length is cut from each corner of the sheet, then it meas the length and width of the box a shortened by x inces from each side, giving a total subtraction of 2 times x inches.

FORMULA FOR LENGTH:

Since, Length is the bigger side of the box. Therefore, it will be taken on 11 inches side of the paper:

<u>L(x) = 11 - 2x</u>

FORMULA FOR WIDTH:

Since, width is the smaller side of the box. Therefore, it will be taken on 8.5 inches side of the paper:

<u>W(x) = 8.5 - 2x </u>

FORMULA FOR VOLUME:

Volume is the product of length, width and time:

V(x) = L(x)*W(x)*H(x)

Height must be equal to the side folds which are equal to length of the side of square = x:

H(x) = x

Therefore,

V(x) = (11 - 2x)(8.5 - 2x)(x)

V(x) = (93.5 -22x -17x + 4x²)(x)

<u>V(x) = 4x³ - 39x² + 93.5x</u>

A(1)= -13 <br><br> a(n)= a(n-1)+4 <br><br> Find the 2nd term in the sequence
eimsori [14]

The second term of the arithmetic sequence is:

a₂= -9

<h3>How to find the second term in the sequence?</h3>

Here we have an arithmetic sequence, such the the recursive formula is:

aₙ = aₙ₋₁ + 4

So to get each term, we need to add 4 to the previous one.

We know that the first term is:

a₁ = -13

Then the second term will be:

a₂ = a₁ + 4 = -13 + 4 = -9

I need help on this problem! <br><br> g(h+2/3)=1 for h
Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

g(h +  \frac{2}{3} ) = 1 \\  \\ gh +  \frac{2}{3} g = 1 \\  \\ gh = 1 -  \frac{2}{3} g \\  \\  h = (1 -  \frac{2}{3} g )  \div g \\  \\ h = (1 -  \frac{2}{3} g ) \times   \frac{1}{g}  \\  \\ h =  \frac{1}{g}  -  \frac{2}{3}

I hope I helped you^_^
