Answer:

1024 in³

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume = (24 - 2x)(24 - 2x)(x)

= 576x - 96x² + 4x³

dV/dx = 576 - 192x + 12x² = 0

x² - 16x + 48 = 0

x² - 12x - 4x + 48 = 0

x(x - 12) - 4(x - 12) = 0

(x - 12)(x - 4) = 0

x = 4, x = 12

x can not be 12,

Because 24 - 2(12) = 0

So x = 4

Volume = (24 - 8)(24 - 8)(4)

= 1024

You need to subtract the two cutouts on each side, so the side of the box would be 24- 2x. X would then become the height of the box once folded.

The volume is found by multiplying the 4 dimensions:

The volume becomes x(24-2x)^2

Now take the derivative of the formula to solve for x

Dv/dx= (24-2x)^2 + x^2(24-2x)*-2

= 24-2x(24-2x-4x)=0

X =12 or 4

24-2x = 24-2(4) = 24-8=16

Volume = 16 x 16 x 4 = 1024 cubic inches.

What is the mean median mode range of 3,14,7,12,4,9,16,4,8,20
gogolik [260]

First, order the number set from least to greatest:

3 , 4 , 4 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 12 , 14 , 16 , 20

Mean: You find the mean by combining all the terms, and dividing by the amount of the terms there are in the number set:

(3 + 4 + 4 + 7 + 8 + 9 + 12 + 14 + 16 + 20)/10

(97)/10 = 9.7

Mean: 9.7

Median: You find the median by first ordering the number set from least to greatest, and finding the middle number. Note that if there is a even number of numbers in the set, you find the mean with the two given median digits:

8 & 9 are the median numbers:

(8 + 9)/2 = (17)/2 = 8.5

Median: 8.5

Mode: The mode is the number(s) in the set that shows up the most:

Mode: 4 (shows up one more time than all other numbers)

Range:  The range can be found by subtracting the least number from the greatest number in the number set:

Range: 20 - 3 = 17

Range: 17

Find the<br>simple interest:<br>Princpd $6000<br>Interest Rate 5%<br>Time: 6 months<br>Start​
sattari [20]

Answer: The interest is: $150.00

The formula we'll use for this is the simple interest formula, or:

Where:

   P is the principal amount, $6000.00.

   r is the interest rate, 5% per year, or in decimal form, 5/100=0.05.

   t is the time involved, 6....month(s) time periods.

   Since your interest rate is "per year" and you gave your time interval in "month(s)" we need to convert your time interval into "year" as well.

       Do this by dividing your time, 6- month(s), by 12, since there's 12 months in 1 year.

   So, t is 0.5....year time periods.

To find the simple interest, we multiply 6000 × 0.05 × 0.5 to get that:

The interest is: $150.00

The greater of two consecutive EVEN numbers is 40 less than twice the smaller number. Find the larger number
Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

<h3>           44</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

z -  some integer

2z - first given even integer (the smaller one)

2z+2 - even integer consecutive to 2z  (the larger one)

2(2z)    - twice the smaller number

2(2z) - 40    - the number 40 less than twice the smaller number

2(2z) - 40 = 2z + 2

4z - 40 = 2z + 2

2z = 42

 

2z+2 = 42+2 = 44

check:

2(2z)-40 = 2(42)-40 = 84-40 = 44
