For finding the value of b, we must consider that Line MN passes through points M(4, 3) and N(7, 12). With this condition y = mx + b, can be written 3=4m+ b (because line passes through M(4,3) ) and 12=7m+b, b ( because line passes through M(7,12)). We have a system of equation 4m+ b=3 7m+b=12 For solving this, 4m+b- (7m+b)= 3-12, it is equivalent to -3m= -9 and then m=3, if m=3 so 4x3 +b =3 implies b= 3 -12= -9, so the value of b= -9 <span>

A manufacturer wants to make open tin boxes from pieces of tin with dimensions 8 in. by 15 in. by cutting equal squares from the
Stells [14]

Answer:

\frac{5}{3} in

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the side of square.

Length of box=8-2x

Width of box=15-2x

Height of box=x

Volume of box=L\times B\times H

Substitute the values then we get

Volume of box=V(x)=(8-2x)(15-2x)x=(15x-2x^2)(8-2x)

V(x)=120x-30x^2-16x^2+4x^3

V(x)=4x^3-46x^2+120x

Differentiate w.r.t x

V'(x)=12x^2-92x+120

V'(x)=0

12x^2-92x+120=0

3x^2-23x+30=0

3x^2-18x-5x+30=0

3x(x-6)-5(x-6)=0

(x-6)(3x-5)=0

x-6=0\implies x=6

3x-5=0\implies x=\frac{5}{3}

Again differentiate w.r.t x

V''(x)=24x-92

Substitute x=6

V''(6)=24(6)-92=52>0

Substitute x=5/3

V''(5/3)=24(5/3)-92=-52

Hence, the volume is maximum at x=\frac{5}{3}

Therefore, the side of the square ,x=\frac{5}{3} in cutout that gives the box the largest possible volume.
