Answer:

x= 18

y= 18

z= 36

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of the package = xyz

The girth (perimeter) of the package = 2(x+y)

Since the sum of the girth and length does not exceed 108, we have

z + 2(x+y) = 108

z = 108 - 2(x+y)

Put the value of z into V = xyz

V = xy(108 - 2(x+y)

V = xy (108 -2x - 2y)

V = 108xy - 2x^2y - 2xy^2

V= f(x,y)

Differentiate V with respect to x

dV/dx = 108y - 4xy - 2y^2 = 0

Differentiate V with respect to y

dV/dy = 108x - 4xy - 2x^2 = 0

Therefore we have

dV/dx = 108y - 4xy - 2y^2 = 0 and

dV/dy = 108x - 4xy - 2x^2 = 0

From the symmetry of both, x= y

Therefore;

108x - 4xy - 2x^2 = 0

108x - 4x(x) - 2x^2

108x - 4x^2 - 2x^2 = 0

108x - 6x^2 = 0

6(18x - x^2) = 0

18x - x^2 = 0

x(18 - x) = 0

Therefore, x= 0 or 18-x =0

x = 0 or x= 18

This means x=y=0 or x=y=18

V= f(x,y) has a critical point at (x, y) = (18,18)

Recall that z = 108 -2(x+y)

z = 108 - 2(18+18)

z = 108 - 2(36)

z = 108 - 72

z = 36

Therefore x=y=18 and z= 36

A vacuum had been marked down by 20% and solf for $250. What was the original price of the vacuum?
igomit [66]

Answer:

The original price was $312.50

Step-by-step explanation:

If the vacuum was marked down by 20%, that means it was sold for 80% of the full price. It was sold for $250, so 80% of the original price is $250.

Let's set up an equation.

80/100 of x = 250

0.8 • x = 250

Divide both sides by 0.8.

x = 312.50

The original price was $312.50

Hope this helps!

In ΔVWX, the measure of ∠X=90°, XW = 65, WV = 97, and VX = 72. What is the value of the cosine of ∠V to the nearest hundredth?
bonufazy [111]

Answer:

The cosine of ∠V is of 0.74.

Step-by-step explanation:

Relations in a right triangle:

The cosine of an angle is given by the length of the adjacent side divided by the length of the hypotenuse.

XW = 65, WV = 97, and VX = 72.

\sqrt{65^2+72^2} = 97, and thus, this is a right triangle.

What is the value of the cosine of ∠V to the nearest hundredth?

The hypotenuse is the largest side, that is, WV = 97.

The adjacent side of angle V is VX = 72. So

\cos{B} = \frac{72}{97} = 0.74

The cosine of ∠V is of 0.74.
