Answer:

1920 gallons of water

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question; the amount of water is proportional to volume of the tank

i.e amount of water = volume of the tank

in a tropical fish;

3000 gallons of water = 12.5 m³     ----- Equation (1)

However, in the  measurement of  shark tank, we have

length = 20cm = 0.2 meters

width = 4 meters

Height = 10 meters

How many gallons of water can the shark tank hold?

From the measurement of  shark tank, we can calculate the volume;

The volume of the tank = Length × width × height

Volume of the tank = 0.2 × 4 × 10 = 8 m³

since, the amount of water is proportional to volume of the tank

y ( Gallons of water ) = 8 m³    -------- Equation (2)

Equating equation 1 and 2; we have:

3000 gallons of water = 12.5 m³  

y ( Gallons of water ) = 8 m³    

y ( Gallons of water ) ×  12.5 m³  = 3000 gallons of water × 8 m³  

y ( Gallons of water )  = \frac{3000 gallons of water * 8 m^3  }{12.5m^3}

y ( Gallons of water )  = \frac{24000}{12.5}

y ( Gallons of water )  = 1920 gallons of water

Thus, the shark tank can hold 1920 gallons of water

A box with a hinged lid is to be made out of a rectangular piece of cardboard that measures 3 centimeters by 5 centimeters. Six
kherson [118]

Answer:

x = 0.53 cm

Maximum volume = 1.75 cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

Refer to the attached diagram:

The volume of the box is given by

V = Length \times Width \times Height \\\\

Let x denote the length of the sides of the square as shown in the diagram.

The width of the shaded region is given by

Width = 3 - 2x \\\\

The length of the shaded region is given by

Length = \frac{1}{2} (5 - 3x) \\\\

So, the volume of the box becomes,

V =  \frac{1}{2} (5 - 3x) \times (3 - 2x) \times x \\\\V =  \frac{1}{2} (5 - 3x) \times (3x - 2x^2) \\\\V =  \frac{1}{2} (15x -10x^2 -9 x^2 + 6 x^3) \\\\V =  \frac{1}{2} (6x^3 -19x^2 + 15x) \\\\

In order to maximize the volume enclosed by the box, take the derivative of volume and set it to zero.

\frac{dV}{dx} = 0 \\\\\frac{dV}{dx} = \frac{d}{dx} ( \frac{1}{2} (6x^3 -19x^2 + 15x)) \\\\\frac{dV}{dx} = \frac{1}{2} (18x^2 -38x + 15) \\\\\frac{dV}{dx} = \frac{1}{2} (18x^2 -38x + 15) \\\\0 = \frac{1}{2} (18x^2 -38x + 15) \\\\18x^2 -38x + 15 = 0 \\\\

We are left with a quadratic equation.

We may solve the quadratic equation using quadratic formula.

The quadratic formula is given by

$x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

Where

a = 18 \\\\b = -38 \\\\c = 15 \\\\

x=\frac{-(-38)\pm\sqrt{(-38)^2-4(18)(15)}}{2(18)} \\\\x=\frac{38\pm\sqrt{(1444- 1080}}{36} \\\\x=\frac{38\pm\sqrt{(364}}{36} \\\\x=\frac{38\pm 19.078}{36} \\\\x=\frac{38 +  19.078}{36} \: or \: x=\frac{38 - 19.078}{36}\\\\x= 1.59 \: or \: x = 0.53 \\\\

Volume of the box at x= 1.59:

V =  \frac{1}{2} (5 – 3(1.59)) \times (3 - 2(1.59)) \times (1.59) \\\\V = -0.03 \: cm^3 \\\\

Volume of the box at x= 0.53:

V =  \frac{1}{2} (5 – 3(0.53)) \times (3 - 2(0.53)) \times (0.53) \\\\V = 1.75 \: cm^3

The volume of the box is maximized when x = 0.53 cm

Therefore,

x = 0.53 cm

Maximum volume = 1.75 cm³

Daniel is currently 26 years older than his son. In sic years he will be tree times older than his son. How old are both of them
Vlad1618 [11]

well, 26+6 is 32, so divide that by 3 and you'd get 10.67, making daniel 32 by that time and his son being 10 years old

its simple math really, also, i hope this helps you ^-^
