Answer:

Dimensions 5in x 10in x 10in will yeild a box with a max. volume of  500 cubic inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume =  height x length x width

considering 'x' as the length of the square corners that has been cut out from the cardboard and also, that is height of the cardboard box.

square corners are cut out so that the sides can be folded up to make a box, cardboard sides would reduce by 2x

therefore,

V = x  (30-2x) (30-2x) ---> eq(1)

V=( 30x - 2x²) (30-2x)

V= 900x- 60x² - 60x² + 4x³

V=  4x³ - 120 x²+ 900x

Taking derivative w.r.t 'x'

dV/dx = 12x² - 240 x +900

dV/dx = 4 (3x² - 60x +225)

For maximum dV/dx, make it equal zero

dV/dx = 0

so,  4 (3x² - 60x +225)=0

3x² - 60x+225=0   (taking 3 common)

x² - 20x + 75 =0

Solving this quadratic equation

x² - 15x -5x + 75 =0

x(x-15) - 5(x-15) =0

Either (x-15)=0

x=15

Or x-5=0

x = 5

if we substitute x=15 in eq(1), volume becomes zero.

therefore, x cannot be 15

When x= 5

eq(1)=>V = 5  (30-2(5)) (30-2(5))

V= 5 (10) (10)

V= 500 cubic inches,

Therefore, Dimensions 5in x 10in x 10in will yeild a box with a max. volume of  500 cubic inches

Solve for p.
Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

p = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

5p - 10 = + 4(1 + 3p)

first get rid of the bracquetes:

5p - 10 = + 4*1 + 4*3p

5p - 10 = + 4 + 12p

subtract left and right of = sign by 5p

5p -5p - 10 = + 4 + 12p -5p

0 - 10 = + 4 + (12p -5p)

subtract left and right of = sign by 4

-10 -4 = 4 -4 + ( 7p )

re arrange

7p + 0 = -14

divide left and right of = sign by 7

7/7 p = -14/7

p = -2

A student's course grade is based on one midterm that counts as 15% of his final grade, one class project that counts as 15% of
kow [346]

Answer:

Overall final score = 77.75% ; Grade = C.

Step-by-step explanation:

The approach to solve this question is to realize that the marks have to be converted into the respective percentages of the whole course. This means that the marks of all the components have to be normalized according to the grading breakdown.

Project Marks = 97/100. Weightage = 15%. So 97*15/100 = 14.55/15.

This means that the student received 14.55 marks in the project out of 15.

Similarly for other components:

Mid-Term Marks = 83/100. Weightage = 15%. So 83*15/100 = 12.45/15.

Homework Marks = 82/100. Weightage = 35%. So 82*35/100 = 28.7/35.

Finals Marks = 63/100. Weightage = 35%. So 63*35/100 = 22.05/35.

After the conversion process, add up the normalized marks, which are now acting as the percentages earned in all the components.

Aggregate Percentage = 14.55 + 12.45 + 28.7 + 22.05 = 77.75%.

According to the grade scale, the student receives a C because 70 is less than 77.75 and 77.75 is less than 80.

Summarizing, the student receives a C at 77.75%!!!
