Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the height of the box . x will be cut at four corners .

each side of the box = 6 - 2x

volume of box V = ( 6 - 2 x )² x

V = ( 36 + 4 x² - 24 x ) x

V = 4x³ - 24 x ² + 36 x

For maximum volume

dV / dx = 12 x² - 48 x + 36 = 0

x² - 4 x + 3 = 0

( x - 3 ) ( x - 1 ) = 0

x = 1 , x = 3 ( not possible )

Possible solution x = 1

Volume  , for x = 1

V = V = ( 6 - 2 x )² x

V = 4² x 1

= 16 m³.

Substitute the values for a, b, and c into b2 – 4ac to determine the discriminant. Which quadratic equations will have two real
hoa [83]

Answer: 0=2x^2-7x-9\\0=4x^2-3x-1\\0=x^2-2x-8


Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the standard quadratic equation is  ax^2+bx+c=0

Let's compare all the given equation to it and , find discriminant.

1. a=2, b= -7, c=-9

b^2-4ac=(-7)^2-4(2)(-9)=49+72>0

So it has 2 real number solutions.

2. a=1, b=-4, c=4

b^2-4ac=(-4)^2-4(1)(4)=16-16=0

So it has only 1 real number solution.

3. a=4, b=-3, c=-1

b^2-4ac=(-3)^2-4(4)(-1)=9+16=25>0

So it has 2 real number solutions.

4. a=1, b=-2, c=-8

b^2-4ac=(-2)^2-4(1)(-8)=4+32=36>0

So it has 2 real number solutions.

5. a=3, b=5, c=3

b^2-4ac=(5)^2-4(3)(3)=25-36=-9

Thus it does not has real solutions.
