Answer:

The dimension of the open rectangular box is 8.216\times 4.216\times 1.392.

The volume of the box is 8.217 cubic inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The open rectangular box of maximum volume that can be made from a sheet of cardboard 11 in. by 7 in. by cutting congruent squares from the corners and folding up the sides.

To find : The dimensions and the volume of the open rectangular box ?

Solution :

Let the height be 'x'.

The length of the box is '11-2x'.

The breadth of the box is '7-2x'.

The volume of the box is V=l\times b\times h

V=(11-2x)\times (7-2x)\times x

V=4x^3-36x^2+77x

Derivate w.r.t x,

V'(x)=4(3x^2)-2(36x)+77

V'(x)=12x^2-72x+77

The critical point when V'(x)=0

12x^2-72x+77=0

Solve by quadratic formula,

x=\frac{18+\sqrt{93}}{6},\frac{18-\sqrt{93}}{6}

x=4.607,1.392

Derivate again w.r.t x,

V''(x)=24x-72

Now, V''(4.607)=24(4.607)-72=38.568>0 (+ve)

V''(1.392)=24(1.392)-72=-38.592 (-ve)

So, there is maximum at x=1.392.

The length of the box is l=11-2x

l=11-2(1.392)=8.216

The breadth of the box is b=7-2x

b=7-2(1.392)=4.216

The height of the box is h=1.392.

The dimension of the open rectangular box is 8.216\times 4.216\times 1.392.

The volume of the box is V=l\times b\times h

V=8.216\times 4.216\times 1.392

V=48.217\ in.^3

The volume of the box is 8.217 cubic inches.

F(x)=x^2+10x-12

Answer:

Therefore the two values required are 2.08 and -11.08.

Step-by-step explanation:

i) f(x) = x^{2} +  10x - 12 is a quadratic equation and a quadratic equation will have two roots whose values when substituted in to the given quadratic equation will give the value.

ii) The question is therefore essentially asking us to find the roots of the given quadratic equation.

This can be done by equating the given quadratic equation to zero and then solving the equation for its roots.

∴ x^{2} + 10x -12 = 0    ⇒    x  = (-10 ± \sqrt{10^{2} +(48)} ) ÷ 2                                                          

                                          = (-10 ± 12.166)÷2        =   2.08, -11.08

Therefore the two values required are 2.08 and -11.08
