Answer:

Max vol = 2 cubic metres

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that from a square piece of cardboard paper of area size 9 m2 , squares of the same size are cut off from each corner of the paper.

Side of the square = 3m

If squares are to be cut from the corners of the cardboard we have the dimensions of the box as

3-2x, 3-2x and x.

Hence x can never be greater than or equal to 1.5

V(x) = Volume = V(x) = x(3-2x)^2\\= 9x+4x^3-12x^2

We use derivative test to find the maxima

V'(x) = 9+12x^2-24x\\V"(x) = 24x-24\\

Equate I derivative to 0

9+12x^2-24x=0\\x=1/2,3/2

If x= 3/2 box will have 0 volume

So this is ignored

V"(1/2) <0

So maximum when x =1/2

Maximum volume

=9(1/2)+4(1/2)^3-12(1/2)^2\\=2 cubic metres

Gemiola [76]

Based on the difference in scores for the basketball team over the six games, the mean difference in scores was 3

<h3>How to find the mean difference in scores?</h3>

The basketball team had 6 games and in these games, their scores were listed as differences in game scores.

The mean of these differences in scores can be found by adding the differences where they won and subtracting the differences where they lost and then dividing by the number of games:

The mean difference in game scores is:

= (7 - 7 + 8 + 9 - 4 + 5) / 6

= 18 / 6

= 3

scoray [572]

Answer:

\text{The probability that Gary dies first = }\frac{1}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the required probability,

We can split the 40 years of Eric into very small pieces of time dt. Now, If Eric dies at time t and Gary dies before Eric, the probability is :

\frac{t}{60}\times \frac{dt}{40}=\frac{t\cdot dt}{2400}

Hence the probability that Gary dies first is  given by :

=\int_{0}^{40}\frac{t}{2400}dt \\\\= \frac{1}{3}

Help please!!!!!:( Solve the equation for x. Round your answer to two decimal places. Do not include "x =" in your answer.
svet-max [94.6K]
The solution to the problem is as follows:

If you use Ln you can get rid of e. 

ln(e^0.4x) = ln(0.4) 

0.4x = ln(0.4) 

x = (ln(0.4))/0.4
