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>

Answer: Choice C

x intercept is (4,0)

y intercept is (0,2)

=======================================================

Work Shown:

To find the x intercept, we plug in y = 0 and solve for x

2x+4y = 8

2x+4(0) = 8

2x+0 = 8

2x = 8

x = 8/2

x = 4

We have x = 4 pair up with y = 0. So we have (x,y) = (4,0) as the x intercept.

This is the location where the graph crosses the x axis.

--------------

The y intercept is a similar story, but we use x = 0 to find y.

2x+4y = 8

2(0)+4y = 8

0+4y = 8

4y = 8

y = 8/4

y = 2

The value x = 0 leads to y = 2. This gets us (x,y) = (0,2) as the y intercept.

This is the location where the graph crosses the y axis.

Find the measurement of the missing side in each right triangle.
kirza4 [7]

Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

a^{2} + b^{2} = c^{2}

in this case its

5^{2} + b^{2} = 13^{2}

25 + b^{2} = 169 subtract 25 from both sides

b^{2} = 144 take square root of each side

b = 12

Which equation has the solution x = 5?
otez555 [7]

Answer:

Here are your answers!

Step-by-step explanation:

x/5+5=6 is x=5.

18-2x=9 is NOT x=5, it is x=9/2

32-4x=12 is x=5.

11+6x=22 is NOT x=5, it is x - 11/6

3x+1=9 is NOT x=5, it is x = 8/3

25/x+4=9 is x=5.

Brainliest please!
