Let x represent the side length of the square end, and let d represent the dimension that is the sum of length and girth. Then the volume V is given by
V = x²(d -4x)
Volume will be maximized when the derivative of V is zero.
dV/dx = 0 = -12x² +2dx
0 = -2x(6x -d)
This has solutions
x = 0, x = d/6

a) The largest possible volume is
(d/6)²(d -4d/6) = 2(d/6)³
= 2(108 in/6)³ = 11,664 in³

b) The dimensions of the package with largest volume are
d/6 = 18 inches square by
d -4d/6 = d/3 = 36 inches long

Haroldo, Xerxes, Regina, Shaindel, Murray, Norah, Stav, Zeke, Cam, and Georgia are invited to a dinner party. They arrive in a r

alexira [117]

Answer: The probability is P = 0.056

Step-by-step explanation:

The invited ones are:

Haroldo, Xerxes, Regina, Shaindel, Murray, Norah, Stav, Zeke, Cam, and Georgia

So we have a total of 10 persons.

The case where Xerxes arrives first and Regina arrives last is:

We have 10 slots, each slot corresponds to who arrived in which time.

For the first slot we have only one option, this is Xeres.

For the next slot we have 8 options (because Xeres already arrived, and Regina must arrive at last)

For the next slot we have 7 options.

for the next one we have 6 options, and so on.

So the combinations are:

C = 1*8*7*6*5*4*3*2*1*1 = 40320

Now, the total number of combinations is:

for the first slot we have 10 options, for the second we have 9 options and so on.

c = 10*9*8*7*6*5*4*3*2*1 = 725760

The probability is the combinations where Xerxes arrives first and Regina rrives last divided the total number of probabilities.

P = C/c = 0.056

Equation 2(4x − 11) = 10.

dedylja [7]

Since you didn't provide instructions, I am going to assune you are being asked to solve for x. To do this, just distribute and simplify.

2(4x-11)=10
Distribute the 2 to the expression (4x-11)
8x-22=10
Add 22 on both sides
8x=32
Divide by 8 on both sides
x=4

~I hope this helps!~
