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

Donna is on the swim team. Each week she swims a total of 8000 meters. How many kilometers does she swim each week? Be sure to i
aivan3 [116]

Answer:

Donna swims 8 km each week.

Step-by-step explanation:

To be able to find the answer, you have to consider that 1 km is equal to 1000 meters and with this, you can use  rule of three to find the kilometers in 8000 meters:

1 km  →  1000 meters

  x    ←   8000 meters

x=(1*8000)/1000=8 km

According to this, the answer is that Donna swims 8 km each week.

Solve the equation <br> |x-3| -10=-5
Deffense [45]

Answer:

x=8                     x=-2

Step-by-step explanation:

|x-3| -10=-5

Add 10 to each side

|x-3| -10+10=-5+10

|x-3| =5

Now separate into two equations , one positive and one negative

x-3 = 5           x-3 = -5

Add 3 to each side

x-3+3 = 5+3    x-3+3 = -5 +3

x=8                     x=-2
