<h2>Length = 3m</h2><h2>Width = 5m</h2><h3>State where x is accordingly.</h3><h2></h2>

The length of a rectangle is seven less than twice the length of its width.

L = 2W - 7

A = W * L

A = 15

15 = W * L

Substitute the L in terms of W

15 = W * (2W - 7)

15 = 2W^2 - 7W

2W^2 - 7W - 15 = 0

Factorise:

(2W + 3) (W - 5) = 0

Solve for W:

2W + 3 = 0

2W = 0 - 3

2W = 3

W = 3/2

W = 1.5

W - 5 = 0

W = 0 + 5

W = 5

Use the original equation to find L:

L = 2W - 7

L = 2(5) - 7

L = 10 - 7

L = 3

L * W = 15

3 * 5 = 15

A box is to be constructed from a sheet of cardboard that is 10 cm by 60 cm by cutting out squares of length x by x from each co
Stells [14]

Volume of a rectangular box = length x width x height<span>

From the problem statement,
length = 60 - 2x
width = 10 - 2x
height = x</span>

<span>
where x is the height of the box or the side of the equal squares from each corner and turning up the sides

V = (60-2x) (10-2x) (x)
V = (60 - 2x) (10x - 2x^2)
V = 600x - 120x^2 -20x^2 + 4x^3
V = 4x^3 - 100x^2 + 600x

To maximize the volume, we differentiate the expression of the volume and equate it to zero.

V = </span>4x^3 - 100x^2 + 600x<span>
dV/dx = 12x^2 - 200x + 600
12x^2 - 200x + 600 = 0</span>

<span>x^2 - 50/3x + 50 = 0

Solving for x,
x1 = 12.74 ;      Volume = -315.56  (cannot be negative)
x2 = 3.92 ;      Volume = 1056.31

So, the answer would be that the maximum volume would be 1056.31 cm^3.

Answer:

Absolute value is the distance from numbers on a number line. The absolute value of -7 is 7 b/c it is 7 units from 0. The absolute value of 5 is 5 b/c it is 5 units from 0.

A negative number is a number that is negative. On a horizontal number line negative numbers are to the left.

A positive number is a number that is positive. On a horizontal number line positive numbers are to the right.

I don't understand the last paragraph though. Hope this helped :D
