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

2/7 Of the students in the school or in sixth grade. C] If the school has X students write an expression for the number of sixth
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

The expression for the number of sixth graders in terms of x is n = \frac{2x}{7}

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

Given that , \frac{2}{7} of the students in school are in sixth grade

To find: Expression for number of sixth graders

Let the total number of students in school be "x"

From given statement,

\frac{2}{7} of the students in school are in sixth grade

Which means, \frac{2}{7} of total number of students are in sixth grade

Let "n" be the number of students in sixth grade

Then by given statement,

n = \frac{2}{7} of total number of students

n = \frac{2}{7} \text{ of } x\\\\n = \frac{2}{7} \times x\\\\n = \frac{2x}{7}

Thus the expression in terms of x is found
