a quality control officer is randomly checki g the weights of flour bags being filled by an automstic filling machine. Each bag

is advertised as weighing 500 grams. A bag must weigh within 5.3grams in order to be accepted. What is the range of rejected bags x for the bags of flour

Answer:

I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is the last option. The range of the rejected bags, x, for the bags of flour. A bag of flour is said to weigh within 3.2 grams in order to be accepted. Therefore, it should weigh within 746.8 to 753.2 grams. Outside that range is rejected.

Determine the dimensions of a rectangular solid (with a square base) with maximum volume if its surface area is 181.5 square cen

3241004551 [841]

Answer:

The base and height of the solid is 5.5cm

<em></em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Surface\ Area = 181.5cm^2$

Required

Determine the dimensions that maximizes the volume

Let the base dimension be x and the height be h

The volume is calculated as:

$Volume =x^2 * h$

$Volume =x^2h$

181.5 =x^2h

The surface area (S) is calculated as this:

$S = 2(x^2 + xh + xh)$

$S = 2(x^2 + 2xh)$

$S = 2x^2 + 4xh$

Substitute 181.5 for S

$181.5 = 2x^2 + 4xh$

Make h the subject:

$4xh = 181.5 - 2x^2$

$h = \frac{181.5 - 2x^2}{4x}$

Substitute $h = \frac{181.5 - 2x^2}{4x}$ in $Volume =x^2h$

$V = x^2(\frac{181.5 - 2x^2}{4x})$

$V = x(\frac{181.5 - 2x^2}{4})$

$V = \frac{1}{4}(x)(181.5 - 2x^2)$

$V = \frac{181.5x}{4} - \frac{2x^3}{4}$

$V = \frac{181.5x}{4} - \frac{x^3}{2}$

To get the maximum, we differentiate V with respect to t and set the differentiation to 0

$dV = \frac{181.5}{4} - \frac{3x^2}{2}$

Set to 0

$0 = \frac{181.5}{4} - \frac{3x^2}{2}$

$\frac{3x^2}{2} = \frac{181.5}{4}$

Multiply through by 4

$4 * \frac{3x^2}{2} = \frac{181.5}{4} * 4$

$2*3x^2 = 181.5$

$6x^2 = 181.5$

$x^2 = \frac{181.5}{6}$

$x^2 = 30.25$

$x = \sqrt{30.25$

$x = 5.5$

Recall that:

$h = \frac{181.5 - 2x^2}{4x}$

$h = \frac{181.5 - 2 * 5.5^2}{4 * 5.5}$

$h = \frac{181.5 - 60.5}{22}$

$h = \frac{121}{22}$

$h = 5.5$

So, we have:

$h = 5.5$

$x = 5.5$

<em>Hence, the base and height of the solid is 5.5cm</em>

Find the next term given in the sequence. 1.31, 2.54, 3.77, ....

gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

1.31 + 1.23 = 2.54
2.54 + 1.23 = 3.77
So, keeping that up,
3.77 + 1.23 = 5
