Given

x^5*k=a .................(1)

x^2*k=b .................(2)

We need to find x^3.

Solution:

On inspection, we note that (1)/(2) gives x^3 on the left hand side, but the division is valid on conditions that x ≠ 0 and k ≠ 0.

So we conclude:

(1) / (2)

\frac{x^5*k}{x^2*k^2} = \frac{a}{b}

=>

\frac{x^3}{k} = \frac{a}{b}

=>

x^3= \frac{ak}{b} on condition that x\ne{0} and k\ne{0}

Remark.

The easiest way to do this is simply to leave the givens alone and divide. Parts of it will cancel out. You can't always do this, but this question is an example of leaving things be.

Step One

Divide the two expressions

\dfrac{x^5*k}{x^2*k^2} = \dfrac{a}{b}

Now you use the index laws to get what you need. Forget the ks on the left for a second and just work with the xs.

\dfrac{x^{5-2} * k}{k^{2}} = \dfrac{a}{b}

The law of indices says that it you want to bring the power of the same base to the numerator, you write the base in the numerator, and subtract the power that was in the denominator from the power in the numerator. x^(5 - 2) in this case.

Step Two

Next deal with the ks.

The same law applies for the ks. You subtract the power shown in the numerator from the power of the k in the denominator, in this case 1/k^(2 - 1)

\dfrac{x^3}{k^{2 - 1}} = \dfrac{a}{b}\\ \\ \dfrac{x^3}{k} = \dfrac{a}{b}

Step Three

The last step is to multiply both sides by k

\dfrac{x^3 * k}{k} = \dfrac{k*a}{b}

Giving as your final answer

x^{3} = \dfrac{ka}{b}

A box with a square base and an open top is being constructed out of A cm2 of material. If the volume of the box is to be maximi
viktelen [127]

Answer:

Side length = \sqrt{\frac{A}{3} } cm ,   Height =  \frac{1}{2} \sqrt{\frac{A}{3} } cm  ,  Volume = \frac{A\sqrt{A}}{6\sqrt{3} }  cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume

Side length of base = x

Height of box = y

total material required to construct box = A ( given in question)

So it can be written as

A = x² + 4xy

4xy = A - x²

  1. y = \frac{A - x^{2} }{4x}

Volume of box = Area x height

V = x² ₓ y

V = x² ₓ ( \frac{A - x^{2} }{4x} )

V =  \frac{Ax - x^{3} }{4}

To find max volume put V' = 0

So taking derivative equation becomes

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

A = 3 x^{2}

x^{2} = \frac{A}{3}

x = \sqrt{\frac{A}{3\\} }

put value of x in equation 1

y = \frac{A - \frac{A}{3} }{4\sqrt{\frac{A}{3} } }  

y = \frac{2 \sqrt{\frac{A}{3} } }{4 \sqrt{\frac{A}{3} } }

y = \frac{1}{2} \sqrt{\frac{A}{3} }

So the volume will be

V = x^{2} × y

Put values of x and y from equation 2 & 3

V = \frac{A}{3} (\frac{1}{2} \sqrt{\frac{A}{3} } )

V = \frac{A\sqrt{A}}{6\sqrt{3} }
