Answer:

Dimension of the box is 16.1\times 7.1\times 2.45

The volume of the box is 280.05 in³.

Step-by-step explanation:          

Given : The open rectangular box of maximum volume that can be made from a sheet of cardboard 21 in. by 12 in. by cutting congruent squares from the corners and folding up the sides.

To find : The dimensions and the volume of the box?

Solution :

Let h be the height of the box which is the side length of a corner square.

According to question,

A sheet of cardboard 21 in. by 12 in. by cutting congruent squares from the corners and folding up the sides.

The length of the box is L=21-2h

The width of the box is W=12-2h

The volume of the box is V=L\times W\times H

V=(21-2h)\times (12-2h)\times h

V=(21-2h)\times (12h-2h^2)

V=252h-42h^2-24h^2+4h^3

V=4h^3-66h^2+252h

To maximize the volume we find derivative of volume and put it to zero.

V'=12h^2-132h+252

0=12h^2-132h+252

Solving by quadratic formula,

h=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

h=\frac{-(-132)\pm\sqrt{132^2-4(12)(252)}}{2(12)}

h=\frac{132\pm72.99}{24}

h=2.45,8.54

Now, substitute the value of h in the volume,

V=4h^3-66h^2+252h

When, h=2.45

V=4(2.45)^3-66(2.45)^2+252(2.45)

V\approx 280.05

When, h=8.54

V=4(8.54)^3-66(8.54)^2+252(8.54)

V\approx -170.06

Rejecting the negative volume as it is not possible.

Therefore, The volume of the box is 280.05 in³.

The dimension of the box is

The height of the box is h=2.45

The length of the box is L=21-2(2.45)=16.1

The width of the box is W=12-2(2.45)=7.1

So, Dimension of the box is 16.1\times 7.1\times 2.45

How do i solve 2+49x4+x
qaws [65]

Answer:

Step by step solution :

STEP1:Equation at the end of step 1

((49 • (x4)) - (2•7x2)) + 1 = 0

STEP 2 :

Equation at the end of step2:

(72x4 - (2•7x2)) + 1 = 0

STEP3:Trying to factor by splitting the middle term

 3.1     Factoring  49x4-14x2+1 

The first term is,  49x4  its coefficient is  49 .

The middle term is,  -14x2  its coefficient is  -14 .

The last term, "the constant", is  +1 

Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant   49 • 1 = 49 

Step-2 : Find two factors of  49  whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is   -14 .

     -49   +   -1   =   -50     -7   +   -7   =   -14   That's it

Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above,  -7  and  -7 

                     49x4 - 7x2 - 7x2 - 1

Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :

                    7x2 • (7x2-1)

              Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :

                     1 • (7x2-1)

Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :

                    (7x2-1)  •  (7x2-1)

             Which is the desired factorization

Step-by-step explanation:
