You are constructing a cardboard box with the dimensions 4 m by 6 m. You then cut equal-size squares ( x by x squares) from each

corner so that you may fold the edges to get a box. How long should x be to get a box with the maximum volume?? Round your answer to three decimal places. (enter numbers only)

Answer:

0.785 m

Step-by-step explanation:

(4-2x)(6-2x)x = Volume

Volume = 4x³ - 20x² + 24x

Max volume: dV/dx = 0

dV/dx = 12x² - 40x + 24 = 0

3x² - 8x + 6 = 0

x = 2.54858377, 0.784749563

Max when d²V/dx² < 0

d²V/dx² = 6x - 8

At x = 0.784749563

6x - 8 = -3.29 < 0

Ronch [10]
If 1/3 is 126 miles, then the total distance will be 3 times as much. So just doing:

126 * 3 = 378 miles.

Gives us the answer 378 miles. This is an intro to inverse functions which will come later.

Which set of ordered pairs represents a function?
stealth61 [152]

Answer: The answer would be the first choice.

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember that a function is where every INPUT has exactly ONE OUTPUT. That means for the coordinates (x, y), no pair could have an x value repeat. So, the first ordered row pair does not have any repeating x values, so it's the first answer.

Part AEstimate 10/12 - 3/8 using benchmark values. Your equation must show the estimate for each fraction and the final estimate
ser-zykov [4K]

ANSWER

\text{The final estimate for the expression is }\frac{11}{24}

STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION

Given information

\text{Estimate }\frac{10}{12}\text{ - }\frac{3}{8}

To estimate the above expression, we need to find the factors of the denominators to get the LCM

Factors of 12 = 2 x 2 x 3

Factors of 8 = 2 x 2 x 2

From the above factors, the LCM is 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 = 24

Therefore, LCM is 24

\begin{gathered} \frac{\frac{10}{12}\text{ - }\frac{3}{8}}{24} \\  \\ =\text{ }\frac{\text{ 24(}\frac{10}{12})\text{ - 24(}\frac{3}{8})}{24} \\  \\ =\text{ }\frac{2(10)\text{ - 3(3)}}{24} \\ =\frac{20\text{ - 9}}{24} \\ =\text{ }\frac{11}{24} \end{gathered}
