A manufacturer cuts squares from the corners of a rectangular plece of sheet metal that measures 2 inches by 7 inches (see Figur

e 1). The manufacturer then
folds the metal upward to make an open-topped box (see Figure 2). Letting x represent the side-lengths (in inches) of the squares, use the ALEKS graphing
calculator to find the value of x that maximizes the volume enclosed by this box. Then give the maximum volume. Round your responses to two decimal places.

Answer:

The value of x that maximizes the volume enclosed by this box is 0.46 inches

The maximum volume is 3.02 cubic inches

Step-by-step explanation:

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

we know that

The volume of the open-topped box is equal to

V=LWH

where

L=(7-2x)\ in\\W=(2-2x)\ in\\H=x\ in

substitute

V=(7-2x)(2-2x)x

Convert to expanded form

V=(7-2x)(2-2x)x\\V=(14-14x-4x+4x^{2})x\\V=14x-14x^2-4x^2+4x^{3}\\V=4x^{3}-18x^{2} +14x

using a graphing tool

Graph the cubic equation

Remember that

The domain for x is the interval -----> (0,1)

Because

If x>1

then

the width is negative (W=2-2x)

so

The maximum is the point (0.46,3.02)

see the attached figure

therefore

The value of x that maximizes the volume enclosed by this box is 0.46 inches

The maximum volume is 3.02 cubic inches

Stels [109]
Well for THIS one you'd have to find how many miles he hikes in ONE day, so you would divide 14 by 2 to get 7 miles per day, and to find how many days he hiked in 42 miles, just divide 42 divided by 7 which equals 6, so it took him 6 days to hike 42 miles. =)

One angle be x

  • other is 2x-6

\\ \sf\longmapsto x+2x-6=90

\\ \sf\longmapsto 3x-6=90

\\ \sf\longmapsto 3x=96

\\ \sf\longmapsto x=32

\\ \sf\longmapsto 2x-6=2(32)-6=58°

Simora [160]

take 23 2/3 and subtract 6 to get 53/3 or 17 2/3 or 17.667

then you take 17.667 and divide by 11 to get 1.606
