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

If you mean each minute she read 3 pages.



If she started on page 20 and read 3 pages every minute, and the answer is how many pages did she read in 9 minutes.
Simple just do 20 x 9.

First step - what’s 2 x 9...18. Now anytime there’s a zero just simplify it by putting the 0 at the end of your answer. So the answer would be 180.

I hope this helped!!!
