Length of the box = 25 - 2x
Width of the box = 14 - 2x
Height of the box = x

a.) Volume of the box = x(25 - 2x)(14 - 2x) = x(350 - 50x - 28x + 4x^2) = 4x^3 - 78x^2 + 350x
Therefore, the function that models the volume of the box is V(x) = 4x^3 - 78x^2 + 350x

b.) 4x^3 - 78x^2 + 350x ≥ 240
4x^3 - 78x + 350x - 240 ≥ 0
x = 0.834, 5.438
The values of x for which the volume is greater than 240 in^3 is 0.834 ≤ x ≤ 5.438

c.) For maximum volume, dV/dx = 0
dV/dx = 12x^2 - 156x + 350 = 0
x = 2.882910931

Therefore, maximum volume = 4(2.882910931)^3 - 78(2.882910931)^2 +350(2.882910931) = 453.798 in^3

Use implicit differentiation to find the points where the circle defined by x^2+y^2−6x−4y=-4 has horizontal and vertical tangent

Inga [223]

Implicit differentiation: 2x+2ydy/dx-6-4dy/dx=0. When dy/dx=0, we have a horizontal tangent.
So 2x-6=0 and x=3. To find y we solve 9+y²-18-4y=-4, y²-4y-5=0=(y-5)(y+1), so the points are (3,5) and (3,-1).
2xdx/dy+2y-6dx/dy-4=0. When dx/dy=0 we have a vertical tangent, so 2y=4, y=2, and x²+4-6x-8=-4, x²-6x=0, x=0 and 6.
The points are (0,2) and (6,2).

Solve each equation by graphing. Round to the nearest tenth.

arlik [135]

rearrange into standard form : ax² + bx + c = 0 (a≠ 0)

2x² - 3x - 2 = 0

(x - 2)(2x + 1) = 0 ( equate each factor to zero and solve for x )

x - 2 = 0 ⇒ x = 2

2x + 1 = 0 ⇒ x = - 0.5

What is 7 40/81 rounded to the nearest whole number

polet [3.4K]

If you divide, you get 9.135......
Therefore, you look at the digit after the decimal point that is 1 so it will be 9 since it's less than 5
So the answer is 9

Which of the following are equivalent to the statement “the price decreased by 1/3”?

Fittoniya [83]

Therefore, the only statement that is equivalent to "the price decreased by $\frac{1}{3}$ " is:

F. The price is now 66, 2/3% of what it was before

Given that the original price of something decreased by 1/3, it means:

the original price is reduced by one-third.

One-third is not equal to half of the price.

1/3 is less than 1/2.

1/3 of the original price would be $\frac{1}{3} \times 100 =$ 33.3% less of the original price.

This means that the new price would be: 100 - 33 = 66% of the original price. This shows a reduction in price. The price would drop.

1/3 is more than a quarter (1/4).

Any option showing or suggesting an increase is definitely the wrong answer.

Therefore, the only statement that is equivalent to "the price decreased by $\frac{1}{3}$ " are:

F. The price is now 66, 2/3% of what it was before
