14 because a negative minus a negative is a positive; you add a line and change the sign

8 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

5-(-9)=

5+9=14

subtracting by a negative is the same as adding the positive so it would be 5+9

aivan3 [116]

The probability of an event is given by the number of favorable outcomes divided by the total number of outcomes. Here the event is the alarm clock running out of power. There are 24 hours during which the power can go out. You are asleep during 8 of these. A "favorable" outcome in this case is the power going out while you are sleeping -- that is, during one of those 8 hours. This makes the probability that the power goes out while you are sleeping 8/24.

Suppose an airline policy states that all baggage must be box shaped with a sum of length, width, and height not exceeding 174 i

Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

The square-based box with the greatest volume under the condition that the sum of length, width, and heigth does not exceed 174 in is a cube with each edge of 58 in and a volume of $195112 in^{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem we have two constraints, that are as follows:

1) Sum of length, width, and heigth not exceeding 174 in

2) Lenght and width have the same measure (square-based box)

We know that volume is equal to the product of all three edges, and with the two conditions into account we have the next function:

$V=(w^{2})(174-2w)\\V=174w^{2}-2w^{3}$

The interval of interest of the objective function is [0, 87]

This problem requieres that we maximize the function that defines the volume. We start calculating the derivative of the function, wich is:

$V'=348w-6w^{2} \\V'=(348-6w)(w)$

We need to remember that the derivative of a function represents the slope of said function at a given point. The maximum value of the function will have a slope equal to zero.

So we find the value in wich the derivative equals zero:

$0=(348-6w)(w)\\w_1=0\\w_2=348/6=58$
