<span>Answers:
V = (15-2x)(8-2x)x
V = 120x -46x²+ 4x³
V' = 120 -92x + 12x²
0 = 120 -92x + 12x²
x = (92±52)/24
x = 6 or 5/3
Pick x = 5/3
Volume = (15-2*5/3)(8-2*5/3)*5/3
= 90.74 inÂł
To justify x = 5/3 is the max
V" = -92 + 24x
V"(5/3) = -92 + 24(5/3) <0 negative.
Volume V(5/3) is max because the function is
concave down with V"<0.</span>
The slope is 1/6. y= mx + b
m is always to slope.
Considering the function for the remaining amount of cesium in the atmosphere, F(x) = 1000×0.5^(x/30), we have;
First part:
- The area will be safe again in about 100 years time.
Second part;
- The y-intercept is at the start of the measurement
Third part;
- The function is a decay function
<h3>Which method can be used to evaluate the given function?</h3>
First part;
The given function for the remaining amount of cesium is presented as follows;

When 100 kg. of cesium is remaining, we have;

Which gives;


- Therefore, the area will be safe again in approximately 100 years.
Second part;
The y-intercept is given by the point where <em>x </em>= 0
At the y-intercept, we therefore have;

At the y-intercept, the amount of cesium remaining, F(x) is 1,000, which is the initial amount of cesium.
- The y-intercept is therefore, at the start of the measurement, where 1000 kg. is present in the atmosphere.
Third part;
The amount of cesium remaining F (x) decreases as the time, <em>x</em>, increases, the function is therefore a decay function.
