A box is 12 centimeters wide ,12 centimeters long, and 15 centimeters tall. What is the total surface area of 4 such boxes?

Grace [21]

First you want to find the surface area of one box
SA=2(l*w)+2(h*l)+2(h*w)
SA=2(12*12)+2(15*12)+2(15*12)
SA=2(144)+2(180)+2(180)
SA=288+360+360
SA=1008 cm² is for one box
Multiply by 4 to get for 4 boxes
4*1008=4032 cm²

Lim x-> vô cùng ((căn bậc ba 3 (3x^3+3x^2+x-1)) -(căn bậc 3 (3x^3-x^2+1)))

NNADVOKAT [17]

I believe the given limit is

$\displaystyle \lim_{x\to\infty} \bigg(\sqrt[3]{3x^3+3x^2+x-1} - \sqrt[3]{3x^3-x^2+1}\bigg)$

Let

$a = 3x^3+3x^2+x-1 \text{ and }b = 3x^3-x^2+1$

Now rewrite the expression as a difference of cubes:

$a^{1/3}-b^{1/3} = \dfrac{\left(a^{1/3}-b^{1/3}\right)\left(a^{2/3}+a^{1/3}b^{1/3}+b^{2/3}\right)}{\left(a^{2/3}+a^{1/3}b^{1/3}+b^{2/3}\right)} \\\\ = \dfrac{a-b}{a^{2/3}+a^{1/3}b^{1/3}+b^{2/3}}$

Then

$a-b = (3x^3+3x^2+x-1) - (3x^3-x^2+1) \\\\ = 4x^2+x-2$

The limit is then equivalent to

$\displaystyle \lim_{x\to\infty} \frac{4x^2+x-2}{a^{2/3}+(ab)^{1/3}+b^{2/3}}$

From each remaining cube root expression, remove the cubic terms:

$a^{2/3} = \left(3x^3+3x^2+x-1\right)^{2/3} \\\\ = \left(x^3\right)^{2/3} \left(3+\dfrac3x+\dfrac1{x^2}-\dfrac1{x^3}\right)^{2/3} \\\\ = x^2 \left(3+\dfrac3x+\dfrac1{x^2}-\dfrac1{x^3}\right)^{2/3}$

$(ab)^{1/3} = \left((3x^3+3x^2+x-1)(3x^3-x^2+1)\right)^{1/3} \\\\ = \left(\left(x^3\right)^{1/3}\right)^2 \left(\left(3+\dfrac3x+\dfrac1{x^2}-\dfrac1x\right)\left(3-\dfrac1x+\dfrac1{x^3}\right)\right)^{1/3} \\\\ = x^2 \left(9+\dfrac6x-\dfrac1{x^3}+\dfrac4{x^4}+\dfrac1{x^5}-\dfrac1{x^6}\right)^{1/3}$

$b^{2/3} = \left(3x^3-x^2+1\right)^{2/3} \\\\ = \left(x^3\right)^{2/3} \left(3-\dfrac1x+\dfrac1{x^3}\right)^{2/3} \\\\ = x^2 \left(3-\dfrac1x+\dfrac1{x^3}\right)^{2/3}$

Now that we see each term in the denominator has a factor of x ², we can eliminate it :

$\displaystyle \lim_{x\to\infty} \frac{4x^2+x-2}{a^{2/3}+(ab)^{1/3}+b^{2/3}} \\\\ = \lim_{x\to\infty} \frac{4x^2+x-2}{x^2 \left(\left(3+\dfrac3x+\dfrac1{x^2}-\dfrac1{x^3}\right)^{2/3} + \left(9+\dfrac6x-\dfrac1{x^3}+\dfrac4{x^4}+\dfrac1{x^5}-\dfrac1{x^6}\right)^{1/3} + \left(3-\dfrac1x+\dfrac1{x^3}\right)^{2/3}\right)}$

$=\displaystyle \lim_{x\to\infty} \frac{4+\dfrac1x-\dfrac2{x^2}}{\left(3+\dfrac3x+\dfrac1{x^2}-\dfrac1{x^3}\right)^{2/3} + \left(9+\dfrac6x-\dfrac1{x^3}+\dfrac4{x^4}+\dfrac1{x^5}-\dfrac1{x^6}\right)^{1/3} + \left(3-\dfrac1x+\dfrac1{x^3}\right)^{2/3}}$

As x goes to infinity, each of the 1/x ⁿ terms converge to 0, leaving us with the overall limit,

$\displaystyle \frac{4+0-0}{(3+0+0-0)^{2/3} + (9+0-0+0+0-0)^{1/3} + (3-0+0)^{2/3}} \\\\ = \frac{4}{3^{2/3}+(3^2)^{1/3}+3^{2/3}} \\\\ = \frac{4}{3\cdot 3^{2/3}} = \boxed{\frac{4}{3^{5/3}}}$
