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>

What is the slope of the line?​
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

m=\frac{2}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

We can see that some of the points that are plotted we can tell what those plots are (-2, 0) (1, 2) (4, 4)

We use the slope formula m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}  }{x_{2}-x_{1}  }  for any of the two plots that are shown on the line

The total profit Upper P (x )​(in thousands of​ dollars) from the sale of x hundred thousand pillows is approximated by Upper P
leva [86]

Answer:

10 hundred thousands of pillows must be sold to maximize the profit of 900 thousands dollars.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

P(x) = -x^3 + 9x^2 + 120x - 200\\x\geq 5

Where P(x) is the profit in thousand of dollars and x is the hundred thousand pillows sold.

First, we differentiate P(x) with respect to x, to get,

\dfrac{d(P(x))}{dx} = \dfrac{d(-x^3 + 9x^2 + 120x - 200)}{dx} = -3x^2 + 18x+120

Equating the first derivative to zero, we get,

\dfrac{d(P(x))}{dx} = 0\\\\-3x^2 + 18x+120 = 0

Solving, with the help of quadratic formula, we get,

x =-4, x = 10

Again differentiation P(x), with respect to x, we get,

\dfrac{d^2(P(x))}{dx^2} = -6x + 18

At x = 10

\dfrac{d^2(P(x))}{dx^2} < 0

Thus,by double differentiation test maxima occurs at x = 10 for P(x).

Thus, 10 hundred thousands of pillows that must be sold to maximize profit.

Maximum Profit

P(10) = -(10)^3 + 9(10)^2 + 120(10) - 200 = 900

Thus, the maximum profit is 900 thousands of​ dollars.
