An engineer is designing a storage compartment in a spacecraft .The compartment must be 2 meters longer than it is wide, and its

depth must be 1 meter less than its width. The volume of the compartment must be 8 cubic meters.Write an equation to model the volume of the compartment. Determine the dimensions where it produces the maximum volume. Sketch the graph

Answer:

Let x be the width of the compartment,

Then according to the question,

The length of the compartment = x + 2

And the depth of the compartment = x -1

Thus, the volume of the compartment,  V = (x+2)x(x-1) = x^3 + x^2 - 2x

But, the volume of the compartment must be 8 cubic meters.

⇒ x^3 + x^2 - 2x = 8

⇒ x^3 + x^2 - 2x - 8=0

⇒ (x-2)(x^2+3x+4)=0

If x-2=0\implies x = 2 and if  x^2+3x+4=0\implies x = \text{complex number}

But, width can not be the complex number.

Therefore, width of the compartment = 2 meter.

Length of the compartment = 2 + 2 = 4 meter.

And, Depth of the compartment = 2 - 1 = 1 meter.

Since, the function that shows the volume of the compartment is,

V(x) = x^3 + x^2 - 2x

When we lot the graph of that function we found,

V(x) is maximum for infinite.

But width can not infinite,

Therefore, the maximum value of V(x) will be 8.

Answer:  The dimensions are 1 m × 2 m × 4 m.


Step-by-step explanation: Given that an Engineer is designing a storage compartment in a spacecraft. The length of the spacecraft is 2 m more than its width and depth is 1 m less than its width.

We need to find the dimensions of the compartment where it produces the maximum volume.

Let, 'b' m be the width of the compartment. Then, its length will be (b + 2) and depth will be (b-1). Since the volume of the compartment is 8 cubic metres, so

b\times (b+2)\times (b-1)=8\\\\\Rightarrow b(b^2+b-2)=8\\\\\Rightarrow b^3+b^2-2b-8=0\\\\\Rightarrow b^2(b-2)+3b(b-2)+4(b-2)=0\\\\\Rightarrow (b-2)(b^2+3b+4)=0.

So, b = 2  or b² +3b + 4 = 0. Since the second quadratic equation will not give real roots and length of any thing cannot be imaginary, it must be real, so we will consider b = 2.

Hence, width = 2 m, length = 2+2 = 4 m  and depth = 2-1 = 1 m.

Thus, the equation which model the volume of the compartment is

b(b-2)(b-1)=0,

and the dimensions are 1 m × 2 m × 4 m. Also, the sketch is attached herewith.

If g(x) = 1 - ¾ x <br> find: -5g(4) - 1
cricket20 [7]

Answer:

<u>-</u><u>5</u><u>g</u><u>(</u><u>4</u><u>)</u><u> </u><u>-</u><u> </u><u>1</u><u> </u><u>is</u><u> </u><u>9</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

g(x) = 1 -  \frac{3}{4} x

when x is 4:

g(4) = 1 -  \frac{3}{4}  \times 4 \\  = 1 - 3 \\  =  - 2

therefore:

- 5g(4) - 1 =  - 5( - 2) - 1 \\  = 10 - 1 \\  = 9

What is the domain and range of f(x)=4^x-8
gladu [14]

If the function is: f(x) = 4^x     - 8

D = {XeR}
R = {YeR|Y≥0}


if the function is: <span>f(x)=4^(x-8)

</span>D = {XeR}
R = {YeR|Y≥ -8}
