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.

Gina has 1200 yards of fencing to enclose a rectangular area. Find the dimensions of the rectangle that maximize the enclosed ar
Alekssandra [29.7K]
We know the perimeter formula would be 1200=2x+2y. And the area will be A=x*y
We can to take the derivative of the area formula to find where it is a max but we must first substitute something in from the first formula so we only have one variable.

1200-2x=2y
600-x=y

A=(x)*(600-x)
A=600x-x^2

Now we take the derivative:
A'=600-2x (set equal to 0 and solve)
0=600-2x
2x=600
x=300 

Then when we plug this into the perimeter formula, we can solve for y
1200=2x+2y
1200=2(300)+2y
1200=600+2y
600=2y
y=300

So both the length and width are 300 yards, and the area would be 90,000 square yards

When Nayeli goes bowling, her scores are normally
Ber [7]

Using the normal distribution, it is found that she scores less than 128 in 28.1% of her games.

<h3>Normal Probability Distribution</h3>

The z-score of a measure X of a normally distributed variable with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

  • The z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is above or below the mean.
  • Looking at the z-score table, the p-value associated with this z-score is found, which is the percentile of X.

In this problem, the mean and the standard deviation are given, respectively, by \mu = 135, \sigma = 12.

The proportion of games in which she scores less than 128 is the <u>p-value of Z when X = 128</u>, hence:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{128 - 135}{12}

Z = -0.58

Z = -0.58 has a p-value of 0.281.

She scores less than 128 in 28.1% of her games.
