Answer:
(a) -6
Step-by-step explanation:
P(x) = ax^3 +bx - 3
- P(-1) = -a-b-3 = 0
- therefore a+b=-3
- P(1) = a+b-3
- P(1) = -3 - 3 = -6
- (a)
The general equation given is x^2 - 4x + y^2 = -3. Transform this to an equation of a circle of the form x^2 + y^2 = r^2.
Use completing the square method:
x^2 - 4x + 4 + y^2 = -3 + 4
(x - 2)^2 + y^2 = 1
the center of the circle is (2,0) and r = 1
To check if it intersects the y axis, find the value of the x-intercept.
The largest possible volume of the given box is; 96.28 ft³
<h3>How to maximize volume of a box?</h3>
Let b be the length and the width of the base (length and width are the same since the base is square).
Let h be the height of the box.
The surface area of the box is;
S = b² + 4bh
We are given S = 100 ft². Thus;
b² + 4bh = 100
h = (100 - b²)/4b
Volume of the box in terms of b will be;
V(b) = b²h = b² * (100 - b²)/4b
V(b) = 25b - b³/4
The volume is maximum when dV/db = 0. Thus;
dV/db = 25 - 3b²/4
25 - 3b²/4 = 0
√(100/3) = b
b = 5.77 ft
Thus;
h = (100 - (√(100/3)²)/4(5.77)
h = 2.8885 ft
Thus;
Largest volume = [√(100/3)]² * 2.8885
Largest Volume = 96.28 ft³
