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

rner and bending up the sides. What is the maximum volume this box could have?

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.

Given the piecewise function shown below select all the statements that are true
Rina8888 [55]
The piecewise function tells us specific rules he should execute based on the input x we put in. For example for answer A is true since we use the top function f(x) = -x + 1 since the input is -1 which is less than 0 (x < 0). We check to make sure the equation comes out true:

f(-1) = -(-1) + 1

f(-1) = 2 ✓

Question:
ANEK [815]

Answer: Well if you were going to think of a circle you can divide it into 4 equal sizes in one of the is equal to two pentagons and a half. If you add all is equal to a loop full of pentagons [which makes 10 pentagons]. Because the ring is made out of regular pentagons, we can work out that each of the interior angles of each pentagon is 108* degrees. By extending the lines that two pentagons share, assuming they will all meet in the middle, it will create a triangle. As we know each angle of a [regular] pentagon is 108* degrees, we know the two base angles of the triangle would equal to 72** which leaves the top angle to be 36 degrees. As [the sum of] angles at a point is 360 degrees, and 36 is divisible by 360, it will make a complete ring. Also, as 360 ÷ 36 = 10, we know that the ring will be made out of 10 pentagons. as formula to calculate the the size of a interior angle of a polygon is (n×180−360)÷n (for n being the number of sides that the polygon has). because the triangle is made by extending the lines, and angles on a line is 180 degrees, 180−108 (an interior angle of a pentagon) =72.

Answer: F. Students 1 and 4.

Step-by-step explanation: Students 1 and 4 because algebraic expressions do not have equal signs, and students 1 and 4 don't have equal signs, as equal signs can be found in algebraic <u>equations</u>.

Determine the inverse of the function. (show work please)
uysha [10]

Answer:

This is easy -- it's just a list of steps.  At this level, the problems are pretty simple.

Let's just do one, then I'll write out the list of steps for you.

Find the inverse of f( x ) = -( 1 / 3 )x + 1

STEP 1:  Stick a "y" in for the "f(x)" guy:

y = -( 1 / 3 )x + 1

STEP 2:  Switch the x and y

                   ( because every (x, y) has a (y, x) partner! ):

x = -( 1 / 3 )y + 1

STEP 3:  Solve for y:

x = -( 1 / 3 )y + 1 ... multiply by 3 to ditch the fraction ... 3x = -y + 3 ... ditch the +3 ... subtract 3 from both sides ... 3x - 3 = -y ... multiply by -1 ... -3x + 3 = y ... y = -3x + 3

STEP 4:  Stick in the inverse notation, f^( -1 )( x )

f^( -1 )( x ) = -3x + 3
