A shipping service restricts the dimensions of the boxes it will ship for a certain type of service. The restriction states that

for boxes shaped like rectangular prisms, the sum of the perimeter of the base of the box and the height of the box cannot exceed 130 inches. The perimeter of the base is determined using the width and length of the box. If a box has a height of 60 inches and its length is 2.5 times the width, which inequality shows the allowable width in inches, of the box?

Answer:

w =< 70

(width is less or equal to 70 inches)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let l = length, w = width, h = height

Restrictions given in this question:

'sum of perimeter of the base and the height cannot exceed 130 inches'

perimeter of the base is 2 width and 2 length of the box

perimeter = 2w + 2l

Therefore, inequality involves here is

2w + 2l + h =< 130

(Note that =< here means less or equal)

Then a new condition given with

height, h = 60 in

and length is 2.5 times the width

l = 2.5w

Substitute this new condition into the equation will give us the following:

2w + 2(2.5w) + 60 =< 130

2w + 5w + 60 =< 130

7w + 60 =< 130

7w =< 130-60

7w =< 70

w =< 10

CALCULUS RELATED RATES: A 20 foot ladder is leaning against a wall. The base of the ladder is placed 6 feet from the bottom of t
Daniel [21]

Answer:

2.17ft/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Look at the sketch of ladder at the beginning and after 3 seconds it starts to fall,

Distance of ladder from the wall 3 seconds after ladder starts to fall                                       =  Initial distance+  Velocity× time

= 6 + 2×3

= 12ft

Use trignometry to find out the speed of the top of ladder

cosθ= 12/20

θ= 0.825 rad

tan θ= v/2

v= 2.17ft/s

(a) Use the definition to find an expression for the area under the curve y = x3 from 0 to 1 as a limit. lim n→∞ n i = 1 Correct
Luba_88 [7]

Splitting up the interval of integration into n subintervals gives the partition

\left[0,\dfrac1n\right],\left[\dfrac1n,\dfrac2n\right],\ldots,\left[\dfrac{n-1}n,1\right]

Each subinterval has length \dfrac{1-0}n=\dfrac1n. The right endpoints of each subinterval follow the sequence

r_i=\dfrac in

with i=1,2,3,\ldots,n. Then the left-endpoint Riemann sum that approximates the definite integral is

\displaystyle\sum_{i=1}^n\frac{{r_i}^3}n

and taking the limit as n\to\infty gives the area exactly. We have

\displaystyle\lim_{n\to\infty}\frac1n\sum_{i=1}^n\left(\frac in\right)^3=\lim_{n\to\infty}\frac{n^2(n+1)^2}{4n^3}=\boxed{\frac14}
